We think of this song as an eerie, effect-suffused studio piece, not a harmony piece. But it is an illustration of something I have pointed out several times, that harmony was fairly automatic in pop music of that era. Even solo artists of the 50s, the Frank Sinatras, The Tony Bennetts, The Doris Days all had duets and harmony pieces as well. By the 60s and 70s it was even more pronounced.
I loved harmonising to this singing along in the 70s and still do.
