Singers Manuel, Danko, and Helm each brought a distinctive voice to The Band: Helm's southern voice had more than a hint of country, Danko sang in a tenor, and Manuel alternated between falsetto and baritone.

Though the singing was more or less evenly shared among the three men, both Danko and Helm have stated that they saw Manuel as the Band's " lead " singer.

In the early 1960s, Helm and Hawkins recruited an all-Canadian lineup of musicians: guitarist Robbie Robertson, bassist Rick Danko, pianist Richard Manuel, and organist Garth Hudson-although all the musicians were multi-instrumentalists.

The entire group was multi-instrumental and certain songs featured Manuel on drums, Helm on mandolin ( as on " Evangeline "), rhythm guitar ( the 12-string guitar backdrop to " Daniel and the Sacred Harp " is by Helm ), or bass ( while Danko played fiddle ).

Helm, Danko and Hudson continued in The Band, releasing the album Jericho in 1993 and High on the Hog in 1996.
