Vocal harmonies to this degree of perfection are extremely rare. I get chills listening to this. I feel blessed to have been a part of this generation.
Since they really only have archival releases these days, The Beach Boys have put out a lot of vocal only tracks with the various box sets and reissues. Great great stuff. Would be great to get something like the old Stack o Tracks album in box form.
This song brings back the memory of how I discovered it. I was in class when I was listening to some happy sorta playlist on Spotify and I came along this song. I was like "oh, ok, The Beach Boys, good choice." Then, as soon as the first lyrics came in my gut dropped. That day, I knew that I had to get into them. Love the boys!
Being 63 yrs old: Beach Boys send my heart into the 70's during my Florida USF days. *Oh My GOD.* My heart thumps... even though my desired music is Jazz-Rock e.g. Steely Dan, Brand X...
These vocals cast a spell on the listener like a golden sheen . Soothing is the word that comes o mind to describe the effect. The popular music of the late 1950s obviously influenced Brian Wilson , completely put in
@@jacobadams905 True... but even then, that still takes a skilled ear and manual tinkering to get everything to sound just right. In contrast, auto-tuning is driven by pre-defined/pre-programmed algorithms at the click of a mouse button.... no skill/talent involved, on the part of anyone, except for maybe the programmer.
They couldn’t for many of the tracks because the technology at the time - 8 track recorders - meant the separated stems for all parts simply did not exist. Rock Band 3 has “Good Vibrations (Live)” because the studio version did not have stems available.
Carl originally sings that chorus---------------Mike did it on the record. Carl should have been the one to do it. any day.-------------------------------WolfSky9
Richard Kline the “Beach Biys” ended, with Carl Dean Wilson’s demise, 6th February 1998. You saw Brian Wilson and friends ( Al Jardine, etc) OR the pretender to the throne, the litigious, self- righteous scandal of a human being, mikelove- who demanded to OWN the name “Beach Boys” and his equally disgusting disrespectful duplicitous sidekick, brucejohnston. Sacrilege.
