EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Turner Layton and Clarence Tandy Johnstone, the renowned close harmony duo who ruled the music scene in the 1920s and 30s. The image, taken in 1953, finds Turner Layton, with a warm smile and expressive eyes, holding a microphone and delivering a soulful rendition. His vocal prowess was matched only by his piano-playing partner, Clarence Tandy Johnstone, who can be seen in the background, poised at the piano with a focused expression. Born in 1890, Clarence Tandy Johnstone was a virtuoso pianist, known for his intricate and harmonious accompaniments. Turner Layton, on the other hand, was a gifted singer with a rich baritone voice. Together, they created a unique sound that resonated with audiences of the time. Their close harmony style, characterized by seamless blending of voices and impeccable timing, was a precursor to the more popular barbershop quartets and doo-wop groups that would emerge in the following decades. The duo's popularity soared during the Roaring Twenties and continued into the 1930s, making them a staple in the world of early American music. Their repertoire spanned various genres, from blues and jazz to folk and pop, reflecting the diverse musical landscape of the era. This photograph, taken towards the end of their career, serves as a poignant reminder of their enduring legacy and the indelible impact they left on the history of music. This image is a testament to the power of music and the enduring bond between two talented artists. It is an invaluable piece of history that transports us back to a time when close harmony duets ruled the airwaves and brought joy to millions.
