Murry screwed up all 3 of his sone. We all know Brian's story, but Dennis was so hooked on drugs that the group had to fire him a few times. Carl was a drinker, but was more or less the anchor of the band when Brian left.
Is this from “The Midnight Special”? No offense… …but if you watch the whole program… …you would see that Dennis was drunk as a skunk. And looks from Carl and Mike were not so appreciative. However: You cannot tell or see this from this one song.
Drunk and Coked up, I’d wager- look at those eyes. But at this point in the band’s tenure, Carl and Mike could never be allies- Carl was on Dennis’s side.
Not most of it self inflicted,and abusive father,mother did nothing,mike love didnt help,he hit his head on a boat,but it could be a diver pulled him down,by eye witnesses at the time.
If this band came along today Dennis would likely be a brand on his own - he'd be multi-marketed in the endless avenues for other content that exist now. He'd probably be ubiquitous..................social media platforms, film, print (what remains of it), fashion, music (of course) ........you name it & he'd likely be right there with it
Incredible, amazing to see this, hard to believe it is a live performance, some if it sounds exactly like the studio version; wonder if it's a mix of live and back up tracks?
Reminds me of my girlfriend she passed away Feb 6th this year.. I play bass and I'm sure your buddy's looking down on you everyday! Keep your head up brother
Far and away my favorite Beach Boys track. Such a terrific lyric and perfect vocal by Dennis Wilson. Nobody I play it for recognizes it as the Beach Boys. Only the backing vocals make them believe it.
This is made even greater when you consider that this is a song that Carl Wilson wrote for his ex-wife. The fact that Carl trusted Dennis to sing a song that came from his heart is beautiful. And it's not the only time in the Beach Boys. God Only Knows was written by Brian and sung by Carl, and Brian made a cover with his daughter Carnie, of Dennis' "You are so beautiful". This song along with these two examples are like a holy trinity of their brotherly love <3
Also, a few years ago Brian recorded Carl's song "Heaven." He never released it, but there's a version of the song with Brian singing it here on RU-vid. I believe Brian had it in his solo set for a while too.
Denny had so much hidden, untapped talent it's a damn shame he couldn't give up his deadly vices I totally know the feeling as I'm battling them myself .loved Denny so full of life would've loved to have met him
