Editor's note

The Roches and their three-voice weave

Three sisters from New Jersey who sang with the kind of close harmony only siblings can manage.

If you're new to them, start with 'A Dove' from that first album. Then try 'The Boat Family' or 'Broken Places' to hear how their harmonies worked on later material.

Their 1979 debut album included 'A Dove,' a quiet ballad that caught people's attention and helped define their sound. They kept making records through the 1980s and 1990s, sometimes working with Paul Simon and David Byrne, but the core was always those three voices. Songs like 'Broken Places' and 'The Boat Family' show how their harmonies could turn everyday moments into something quietly remarkable.

They started performing as a trio in the early 1970s, and their self-titled debut came out in 1979. They made albums like 'We Three Kings' in 1980 and 'Other People's Songs' in 1985. In 1994, Suzzy left to do her own thing, and Maggie and Terre carried on as a duo for a while.
