Jeffrey Foskett - simply one of The BEST, and an important figure in The Beach Boys' legacy. You inspired SO many and will be missed dearly. Your lead, and what this song makes people feel combined - tears, man.
Unfortunately, time kills all music even the Beachboys. Who listens to Gershwin or Handel anymore except for a select few. How many radio stations can you find either of these aforementioned greats on. Few if any. Ask a 16 year old if they even heard of Gershwin. Sorry but the Beachboys will also disappear into obscurity just like all of their predecessors. What happened to the Dorsey brothers and all the great vocalists from the 30s and 40s? Where can you hear them?
With all due respect (and I love their music) Brian is NOT a musical genius. Like Billy Joel , Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney and Elton John they write pop music. Usually for vocals, guitar and keyboards. All very gifted and talented, but not geniuses. Men like a Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Schumann, Haydn, Vivaldi, etc. were truly brilliant. They wrote operas, orchestral music, string quartets, choral music and more. They wrote for every instrument and without the benefit if any technology. No ability to playback or vocal enhancement! Just ponder that. BTY, Much if Brian’s chords and progressions were directly lifted from the Four Freshmen a great vocal quartet fro the 1950’s.
@@denniselber9195 Well Denny boy, that's simply your unsolicited opinion. I'm not the only one who has said that. Many musicians that I respect, and have succeeded in the music biz, have said it. Every lick, lyric, chord and progression has been played by someone somewhere. It's ALL passed on. It's not just Brian Wilson and the 4 Freshman, Mr. "God's gift to interpreting who's a genius in the music world". Give me a fking break you douche! Tell your bullshit to producer Don Was. You know who that is, don't you? Besides, who in the fk asked you? When I want your advice I'll contact you, so stay out of my posts. I don't like YOU and don't want to be penpals. So, STFU! Now, here's my unsolicited opinion you should always remember. Don't start any unnecessary shit and there won't be any. Shoo fly!
@@dzfz2100 I’ve Ben a big fan if Brian Wilson since 1963 and love his music. I think he writes great melodies. There is no question however, that he lifted a lot if his chordal structures fro the Four Freshman a fifties Vick group. Brian us an extremely talented guy. He is not.a studio level pianist or bass player. My point was the term “genius” is employed entirely too much and nit necessarily accurate. Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart , Handel May have been geniuses. They wrote for orchestras, string quartets, chamber music, operas and small and large chiral groups, all without the benefit of modern technology or even the ability to record and play back. No vocal enhancements or over dubbing. By the way, I’m a classically trained musician with an honors degree in music. I’ve done lots of studio work and commercials. We still live a free country and I don’t need anyone’s permission to give an informed opinion, We all have that right, What are your musical credentials?
I was fortunate to have met Jeffrey Foskett . Extremely humble and talented person who actually was Brian Wilson’s musical director. RIP my musical brother. You will be sorely missed…🙏
Brian Wilson was seated at the keyboard. He wrote and sang this song originally. His voice is unmatched and can’t be duplicated even though Froskett does a great rendition here.😍
That’s Brian Wilson on the keyboards. Sad to see him not singing the lead. He really had his troubles in this life. We had the same troubles but at a much lower pay grade. Funny not funny. Best harmonies in the music industry.
I absolutely love this one. Takes me back to the 60s in Cardiff, met my husband in 1969 dancing to songs like this. Been married 50 years this year omg can't believe it.
when this was a new song, I used to play it over the loudspeaker at the public pool where I worked. I still to this day have people thanking me for playing the great soundtrack as part of their summer time experiences.
One of the best songs ever from the Beach Boys. I was born in 1946 and grew up with the most beautiful music ever for teenagers. I am not religious, but thanks God I was born in that year.
Thank you for this video. Paul McCartney called "Don't Worry Baby" the most beautiful popular song ever recorded. I agree. All these years later, it still touches me just as it did the first time I put that album on the turntable. Beach Boys Forever! God Bless Brian Wilson!
I grew up listening to The Beach Boys as they have been around for well over 50 years. I loved all their songs and still sing to myself many of their songs today. Man, it is a Bitch Getting Old.
Yeah, but just think of all the old memories and good times we had in Jr. High and high school listening to these on our AM radios and playing 45's on our "record players"!
2022 still watching this beautiful song I saw The Beach Boys back in the 80s before we lost Dennis and Carl and it was the best concert I ever went to!!! RIP Dennis and Carl your missed so much
Jeff Foskett sings lead on this one and Brian Wilson does back up. You can hear Brian's voice. Jeff also does the higher notes on the other songs where its difficult for Brian to do. Its always seemless. Its just great to hear these songs by the surviving members of the Beach Boys 50 + years in. I think its selfless of Brian to let his friend Jeff help with the vocals to keep it sounding reasonably fresh. Great song!
@@stuartperry8141 He did through 1965 and sporadically in the 1970's and fairly regularly through 1985, then was quite scarce on a live stage after that.
Nice to see David back in the band after decades - Jeff is amazing on the tenor lrad, and so is John Cowsill on drums (a really talented drummer indeed). I just feels right, after all the tragedy, to see David come back, and I hope he's healthy again. God bless these lads, for all of the pure enjoyment they've given us.
I am only 28 years old but I just love the Beach Boys so much. I love all the oldies from the 50s and 60s. Today's "music" sucks so much. Why can't music be good like it was back then? Nowadays its just all autotuned bullshit, or some rapper talking about his "bitches, hoes, money, bling bling, weed, going to duh club, drinkin forties." God I hate this generation today.
I'm 30 and couldn't agree more. I'd rather listen to music from the 60's, 70's, 80's than "hit" garbage like Lil' Wayne, Nicki Minaj, etc. Music back in our parents day was legit music from the soul.
They’re all up there but their age really shows in this video. Technology and young talented musicians behind them are providing the sound. I’m taking nothing away from The Beach Boys. Great songs, accomplishments and their music stays young forever. This looks like the Old people’s home show.
What can you say great song fantastic live rendition, don`t forget these guys ain`t getting younger, im 68 and was bought up in my teens to these sounds.
Perfektno. Volim slušati dobru muziku, ritam i pjevanje. Dečki pjevaju fenomenalno. Uživancija za slušati. Fala youtubu i ko ga je izmislil da i mi sirotinja možemo uživati u svijetskoj muziki.
RIP Jeff. Thank you for helping keep the Beach Boys' music and legacy alive
Oh man, just found out. What sad news.
@@jomsShootshe was a treasure.
Beach boys without Brian is. Like bread without butter
Mjh7178
Jeff was awesome. RIP
@@Michael-m1m8f I agree
Oldest brother, Brian Wilson, is still going strong! I grew up with The Beach Boys in the 1960s! They were my favorite band back then.
I'm 70 years old and I love these beautiful songs forever. Sweet memories. ❤
RIP Jeff Foskett, the man providing the falsettos in this Beach Boys live performance who just passed away today at the age of 67. 😥
Same at 70 🙏
Jeffrey Foskett, your beautiful voice will be sorely missed. Time now to sing for the angels.
take a listen to susan cowsill's terrific version of this song! she is sister of john cowsill who has been the drummer for the beach boys for nearly 25 years up until recently!!
RIP Jeff Foskett.
R.I.P. Jeffrey Foskett
Jeffrey Foskett - simply one of The BEST, and an important figure in The Beach Boys' legacy. You inspired SO many and will be missed dearly. Your lead, and what this song makes people feel combined - tears, man.
Jeff Foskett’s voice perfectly fit on this song.❤
One of the FINEST songs in history
I agree, the melody plays all over and the vocal harmonys well...
That’s what Paul McCartney believes
The man who saved the Beach Boys! R.I.P.
This music is timeless, it will never die.
I Couldn't have said it better than that.
Brian and the Beach Boys are an American gift to the entire world. This jam packed show in Japan!#%&! is proof of that fact.
They were amazing, grew up with these guys, i’m 70 years old and still loving it!!!!!!!

They said the same thing about Gershwin. Don’t delude yourself!
Hahah Brian chilling singing when he wants. Love him so much
This was the prettiest song they ever recorded.
You Know It !
Completely agree
Absolutely. My favorite BB song
Love it but search Lorrie Morgan and the BB singing it…AWESOME
Agreed
Just one of Brian's many masterpieces. A true musical genius.

@@Gordonsmusic911 Well said. If Brian wanted to compose classical music I think he could.

ありがとうジェフリー。名曲と共に安らかに
How easily he sings those difficult notes😢 priceless
It’s amazing that they still sound great even without their greatest vocalist, the infinitely late great Carl Wilson!
Love it.
Agreed. But Carl didn't originally have a lead vocal role in this tune, mostly Brian.
Brian Wilson did lead on this
brian wilson is the master mind behind the beach boys . but Carl wilson was great
Amen. Without Carl it just doesn't work for me. And Brian looks bad here.
That’s Brian Wilson on the keyboards. Sad to see him not singing the lead. He really had his troubles in this life. We had the same troubles but at a much lower pay grade. Funny not funny. Best harmonies in the music industry.
It is EXACTLY why we are NOT to judge others. Believe me....I learned my lesson the hard way. Thru a broken heart.
When I feel stressed out, I listen to this song and magically, things feel ok ❤️
Me to
I absolutely love this one. Takes me back to the 60s in Cardiff, met my husband in 1969 dancing to songs like this. Been married 50 years this year omg can't believe it.
My favourites are God Only Knows, California Girls, Don't Worry Baby, Surfin USA
Yes its very soothing 😌
when this was a new song, I used to play it over the loudspeaker at the public pool where I worked. I still to this day have people thanking me for playing the great soundtrack as part of their summer time experiences.
One of the best songs ever from the Beach Boys. I was born in 1946 and grew up with the most beautiful music ever for teenagers. I am not religious, but thanks God I was born in that year.
I read somewhere that Brian had written for Ronnie Spector (Bennett) in mind
Timeless 😢 i am 19 and love Brian and the Beach Boys. I will make sure to share their music with my children. The Beach Boys will never be forgotten!
The Beach Boys was the first concert I ever went to. My brother and I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl 1965. Have never stopped loving their music.
Ohhhh, we were so fortunate to grow up with these groups and their music!
For sure
BIG TIME!!!
You are so right the beach boys are timeless, they make me feel young and happy
Oh yes " very lucky. Post war boomers. Pack me up and send me back to 1959.
You got that right! I am soooo happy to be a baby boomer!!! And the Beach Boys were one of my first loves!!!
Nice old times. Music was music.
Look at the faces of these used to be teenagers, they’re remembering how much this music meant to them and still does!! Singing along!
Who is watching this beatifull song in 2020? Thats me...
YO, Y NO ME CANSO DE VERLA!!!
Me too.Beautiful song!!! Tampoco me canso de verla
Love the Beach Boys so much . Been enjoying them ever since they Started. Different Music , I Love Carl’s Voice .. 💞💕
me too.
Im from Indonesia far away...but your song is soo close to me
Thank you for this video. Paul McCartney called "Don't Worry Baby" the most beautiful popular song ever recorded.
I agree. All these years later, it still touches me just as it did the first time I put that album on the turntable.
Beach Boys Forever!
God Bless Brian Wilson!
Jeff nailed it on this one. His vocals are off the chart.
Jeff is utterly fantastic here. Just phenomenal
A GREAT SONG THANKS TO BRIAN WILSON! HE IS THE GENIUS!
The music has a timeless quality. Like all fine art.
Good job for Jeff singing in Brian's style, respecting the Beach Boys legacy and also for Bruce having strong vocals on this song too!
This is one of my favorite songs by Brian Wilson who is a musical genius. Also, Jeffrey Foskett is a fantastic singer on this great live version.
Great job but Jeff really comes thru on lead vocals.
Great music.LIFES GOOD
He sounds just like Brian.
I grew up listening to The Beach Boys as they have been around for well over 50 years. I loved all their songs and still sing to myself many of their songs today. Man, it is a Bitch Getting Old.
Yeah, but just think of all the old memories and good times we had in Jr. High and high school listening to these on our AM radios and playing 45's on our "record players"!
Al jardine, mike love and session musians , are not the beach boys.its a farce, I would not pay to see them, they are not the real thing.
Sucks big time being old! I cant believe I spend most of my time looking back instead of doing now or any big plans in the future except dying. Lol
@@frankverd2808 Brian Wilson is on stage He is the original singer
Aching nostalgia for better times
Jeff did more than anyone else to keep Beach Boys music alive and relevant
Jeff Foskett nails the lead vocals! He emulates Brian W.
Outstanding job! And you're right... He gets closer to Brian's vocals than anyone I've ever heard!
With all due respect to you, this guy stinks and has trouble holding that high note. Flat, bland rendition nowhere near Brian.
Foskett saved brian and the band.
Keith Moore I was hoping that wasn't Matt Jardine singing lead. He really went downhill fast if that was him. Looked kind of like him.
@@wizard9403 fuck off you're not Beach Boys fans
Thanks Jeff. Kept the Sound alive after Brian. Beautiful falsetto
Just a perfect rendition by a wonderfully talented musician and singer - RIP Jeffery, you are, and will remain, sorely missed by all BB fans
1:52 I like the keyboard comp.
I've been listening to this song for years and still get goosebumps to this day.
same here

Yeah, and Jeff was so thankful that he jumped ship to ML's cover band.
Rob Watkins Very well put! I agree totally.
@Scott Grudziadz And Jeff is not doing well.
At the Beach Boys heyday Brian did not perform live though he did perform on the recordings,
@@stuartperry8141 He did through 1965 and sporadically in the 1970's and fairly regularly through 1985, then was quite scarce on a live stage after that.
All Jardine’s sons have awesome voices!❤️
Rip Jeff ! Long live your voice !!
jeff foskett just had such an amazing voice 😢
Brian Wilson was at the keyboards. I wish he would've sang this since he was the original singer of this beautiful song.
I'm sure he would have if he could still hit those high notes.
He cant sweetie.
What a drag it is getting old.
I'm just glad he's still around
Sadly Brian can’t sing anymore.
I watched it in Saint George Utah. Loved it
One of the greatest bands in history brilliant harmonising timeless music long may they play for every generation before and after
ONLY TO SEE!!!!!!!!! BRIAN ON STAGE SATISFYS MY HEART
The lead vocal is superb! Cheers.
Brian Wilson still had a heavenly voice at this time. Sublime
Jeff is just great. He keeps the vocals alive and well.
Great vocals by Jeff, we can hear Brian backing and Bruce's vocals are so perfect!
I love the lead singer’s voice!!!! The Beach Boys were popular when I was in high school. We had the best music of the century!!!!❤️
Yes we did and somehow knew it
any century.....
Great version. Billy Joel does a live version in a Brian Wilson tribute....absolutely awesome !
Wow. Still brings me to tears. Great singing all 'round.
A tear fell from my eye...and I'm a guy.
Dont worry Jeffry you still sound great!
Jeff Foskett has a magic voice .. would love to see more of him featured
Nice to see David back in the band after decades - Jeff is amazing on the tenor lrad, and so is John Cowsill on drums (a really talented drummer indeed). I just feels right, after all the tragedy, to see David come back, and I hope he's healthy again. God bless these lads, for all of the pure enjoyment they've given us.
How lovely! Still as good as in 1964, when I first loved it.
Right … we're all getting older, but this sounds as good as ever. And yes, Jeffrey Foskett is a great lead singer !
Oh man did Jeffrey nail Brian's part...with Brian sitting just feet away...great version
Way ta go Mr Foskett😊
Jeff is perfect in the style of the beach boys. Christopher cross is perfect too
🥹Rip Jeff ,god bless your soul
Excellent lead singing
Wow. They really did have an impact on people

You're right! I myself am 13 but I like The Beatles, Elvis, Roy Orbison, and a whole lot more that doesn't involve new music!
We really had some great musicians in the 1950's and 60's and 70's!

The sincerity of the lyrics and the melody of this is so beautiful. ❤
The Beach Boys will be singing & Swinging
when they are 100 yrs old I love them. 😃
this was the first music that I remember listening to as a baby when my brain started to develope . im 43 now and I always loved the beach boys
Godspeed, Jeff.
Go Al and Mike!!!!
The Beach Boys are the best band of all time!!!
An absolutely beautiful song from the greatest Era of rock and roll.
I'm just so glad I grew up with music.
It's so very awesome and amazing how much they are loved around the world still. What a blessing to have seen these guys live.
What can you say, amazing. I'm 74 and been along for the ride since the 60s.
Jeff Foskett is also a tremendous guitarist.
Well, I can close my eyes and dream while I listen to this beautiful song that comes from the soul. Thanks for releasing it.

You simply can't beat these guys. Have been a fan almost as long as they have been performing.
This Never gets old😎😁
Fantastic and the big genius on the piano keep well Brian they don't come around like you anymore.
Outstanding harmony. Grew up loving these guys. :)
Dang, they sound so good after all these years. Music....
I'm thinkin' it left something in your heart that will NEVER be "gone."
Saw them this year 2016 and still sounds so good! Thanks Beach Boys for such great music and sound!
Did you see Brian or Mike's band?
+DAM FLA mike's

He has the sound. Does them justice IMO.
