      He is ridiculed for using studio musicians but that only happened after their early success, they had made some money and it became a real challenge to get everyone in the studio to record. Brian found it was much easier to get professionals who wanted to make music every day, and they would give him exactly what he wanted, no arguments. Vocals could be added later.

      A few years ago I saw Mike Love and his version of the Beachboys in Niagara Falls Ontario. Brian was also touring with his own version at the same time.
      I’ve loved the Beachboys since the 1960’s, and this was the best concert I’ve ever heard.
      Mike did a tribute to Carl, with Carl singing ‘God only knows on video blended into the live performance.
      Mike also performed a song he wrote in honour of George Harrison, with video of the time they spent together in India playing on the big screen while Mike sang.
      It was a very emotional experience.

    I am a huge fan of The Beach Boys & had a lot of their records. They were known for their 5 part harmonies. Brian Wilson was the genius songwriter behind the group. This was such happy feel good music. I recently found the a cappella group Home Free last year. Their bass singer Tim Foust has a 5 octave range & recently released a doo-wop cd of 50's-60's music. He does a great version of The Beach Boys song "In My Room".

    So, my one-week boyfriend and I were sitting on his bed - in his bedroom! - listening to this song, and he cozied up to me, put his arms around me and we gently rocked to the music. Then he turned my face towards his and he kissed me for what felt like my entire life.

    As always tremendous job -- the Beach Boys were my first music love and remain so. Notwithstanding his enormous vocal and songwriting abilities, Brian's genius lies in his arranging abilities. The backing track for "I Get Around" is practically avant garde and makes no sense, until you lay the gorgeous pop harmony vocals on top. That he would hear these in his head and record them independently is mind boggling.
    And as you listened the joy on your face looked like you were getting a bowl of ice cream -- or better!

    thing Song) "Don't Worry, Baby", has broken my heart in such a beautiful way. At the last second, I looked right at Fil, and I definitely saw the face of someone like me: we've both given ourselves up to this music. Call it rock 'n' roll rhythm & blues country folk or just That Thang.

    I find it interesting how much their early songs were reportage, singing about their peers and what they did. The street racing, hot rod culture and the overlap and conflict with surfer culture were everyday experiences.
    My father in law grew up in that part of California. Going to the beach with him, all of the beaches and piers in the songs were just familiar places we'd pass by.
    The line from "Be True to Your School", "Friday night and ready for a fight" was a reference to one high school, the one he had attended. A "tough school" where getting into a fight at the Friday night football game with kids from the other school was a regular part of the night's entertainment.
    After his first day at school, as a skinny bookish kid, he realized that as a matter of self defense, a preemptive punch to the face of a lesser school bully would establish himself as a tough guy not to be messed with.

There were many years that Brian just could not handle the touring aspects, but he wouldn't have been able to make brilliant albums like Pet Sounds had he been out on the road with them. I did get to see the original lineup with all 3 Wilson brothers and Mike Love and Bruce Johnston in the 70s. They were all in great shape vocally at that show.

    Brian's writing and producing were unparalleled. There was nobody else in his league. But he was also blessed with the good fortune of having seven unique voices (not all at once) whose blend can never be matched. It's impossible to quantify, but when I listen to their harmonies, that blend... that f'ing blend brings tears to my eyes.
    As a kid, I remember hearing pitch-perfect renditions of BBoys songs with other vocalists in TV commercials (Sunkist, maybe?) and thinking, "how can this version, with flawless vocals and a great mix, sound so pale compared to the original?" It was the blend of those kids' (they were just pups when they started out) voices. Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Al, David, and Bruce.

    Who taught Brian how to sing, harmonize? Answer: he picked it up and figured it out on his own as a young kid. He then taught those things to the rest of the band when they were young too. He asked em to perform and they responded. Professional musicians find this very difficult yet Brian did it easily because he was the acknowleged leader of the band--following Brian led to success early on.

It was everywhere, you couldn't help but have it in your DNA. Fast forward to 1975-76 and they were a HUGE concert draw by all my contemporaries who just knew and loved the music. So many great concerts seeing them then. Every song was a sing-a-long and the venues were packed. Don't Worry Baby is the kind of song that makes me emotional. Still.
