Sometimes the biggest stars weren’t in the spotlight, they were singing just behind it.

This week, Christopher explores the secret world of backing vocals and superstar cameos - those hidden voices that quietly transformed great songs into classics. From unexpected studio guests to uncredited collaborations, these are the harmonies you’ve heard your whole life but never really noticed.

It’s a journey through friendship, fate, and the kind of magic that happens when famous voices decide to take a step back instead of forward.

This week’s cocktail: The Harmony Highball

Smooth, simple, and perfectly balanced, just like the harmonies we’re celebrating.

How to make it:

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Add 2 ounces of blended Scotch.
  3. Top with chilled ginger ale.
  4. Give it a gentle stir.
  5. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Crisp, light, and easy to sip, a drink that knows how to blend beautifully without taking center stage.
