His favorite was Flatt and Scruggs, the Orange Blossom Special...

Alison Kraus does a terrific version of this, but listen for Dolly's harmony on Emmylou and Ricky's "Green Pastures":



And guess some of the background vocals on this:

 
I discovered the Forrester Sisters by accident while looking for an old Baptist hymn that isn't often recorded, "Lilly of the Valley":
