Kate McGarrigle died on Monday at the age of sixty-three. Better-known these last few years as the mother of Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright, she was with her sister Anna half of a great duo, the McGarrigle Sisters. Rufus has said that his mother taught him that the Everly brothers were the best harmony singers. Like the Everlys, the fact that the McGarrigles were siblings probably gave them an almost preternatural ability to blend their voices. Here they perform a song that Anna wrote and Linda Ronstadt made well-known.
