"Carry on" was with Neil Young. No way I thought his voice would fit in with CSN, too nasal. I cannot hear it though, only when he sings on his own.
Anyway the harmony is insane on this. Not the arrangement itself (which is great) but the fact they get could get this sound, almost like it's one voice. That's what they could do.
Brilliant.
