Yes,

So sad, I too loved their harmonies, which were often sung a third apart, major or minor. It was such a distinctive sound, and great. Linda Ronstadt was quoted as saying she thought the harmony had a familial element, ie they could only get that special extra something because they were brothers. Another example - the Bee Gees? I dunno.

RIP

What trailblazers they were. So many artists were influenced by them.
