Led by musical genius, Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys, are arguably the greatest and most important American band ever. Their greatest hit and most important song is "Good Vibrations". others include: "God Only Knows", "Darlin'", I Get Around", "Sloop John B", "Help Me, Rhonda", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Little Deuce Coupe", "In My Room", "Little Surfer Girl". Also their "surf songs" "Surfin' U.S A.", "Catch A Wave", "California Girls".
When I started to hear them on the radio in the early '60s, I wanted nothing more nor less than to be able to play their music myself - much the way I feel when I listen to the Grateful Dead or Handel's Messiah or a late Mozart piano concerto. I bought a guitar, but needless to say, after 60 years I still can't come anywhere close to reproducing their wonderful sound. Marvelous music.
The Beach Boys were amazing. And they were just as amazing in concert. And it is just so much fun watching your reaction. You are so enthusiastic and have such a beautiful spirit.
Welcome to the world of the Beach Boys. The best group of recording artists of all time imo. They started out in 1961 and are still going today (albeit in two factions: Mike Love's tour band the Beach Boys and the Brian Wilson band). Of the hundreds of songs they have released crossing several genres and decades, you are certain to love 'God Only Knows' and 'Good Vibrations' just for starters 👐
Great reaction! My #1 Beach Boys song - I just love the feel of the whole track - the music, vocals, harmonies, and especially the lyrics! Interesting take that it's the guy that worried and needs his girl to calm him down! From the beginning drum beat, I'm all-in! Cheers!
I grew up in Southern California. My best friend and I cut classes (college) and went to the beach. To our surprise The Beach Boys were there performing! My favorite song of theirs is God Only Knows. Loved your reaction ❤️
Thank you for your wonderful reaction to this classic iconic Beach Boys song. Probably my favorite of theirs. Young people like you reacting so joyfully to the songs from the youth of many of us subscribers really brings reminiscent happiness to our day. : -)
The Beach Boys and Frankie Valley the four seasons . These 2 60s bands are the best harmonies ever . I cant even choose who i like the best . THANKS sARAH more beach boys please .
The Beach Boys are the quintessential harmony group and started out doing "Surf" music and being the voice of the surfing craze and then got into fast cars and moved on and on from there.
The vocal harmonies in this song are some of the best in the entire history of pop music. This song and "Catch a Wave" are the best of the best harmonies.
It's about a boyfriend who's bragged too much about his hot rod car and is about to risk his life in a drag race just to impress his guy friends. He assures her that her love will keep him safe. It's deeper and darker than the music sounds like.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh yes, THAT long ago, summer of '64. I was 17 , heading to 18 in September. I lived on my own, & began my 6 year odyssey of graduating from college. Best of all--------ALL of life, was ahead of me . What a time it was to be young , & full of energy & life ! ----------The Boys : Brian Wilson on Lead---------Mike Love, on Bass voice-------Al Jardine, 2nd tenor. --------Carl Wilson on high baritone-------& the drummer. Dennis Wilson, on middle baritone. -----Voices in harmony like I have never heard, ever. -------MJL, 77 y/o
I used to listen to The Beach Boys on tape in my car stereo when I was a young fella. The music was 20 years old then, but still made for great listening. Glad you enjoyed this song!
The Beach Boys and the Beatles competed with each other for more inventive melodies and harmonies. The main writer and arranger, Brian Wilson, is a true musical genius, one of the finest songwriters in rock'n'roll history. But suffered with mental illness, as geniuses often do.
check out susan cowsill's version of this song!! her brother john cowsill, who is married to vicki peterson of the bangles, had been the beach boys drummer for over 20 years until recently! both susan & john were in the band the cowsills, who had hits with, 'the rain the park & other things', 'hair' & 'indian lake', which was one of brian wilson's favourite songs!!! the cowsills are still performing today as a trio, as some of the members are dead!!!
Written as a reply (musically, of sorts) to "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes. Two of the finest pop songs of all time. And Billy Joel's live rendition of "Don't Worry Baby" is a treat too!
susan cowsill does a great job with this song too!! she has links with the beach boys as her brother john was their drummer for 20 years up until recently!! susan & john were both part of the cowsills family group which had hits with, 'the rain, the park & other things', 'hair', & 'indian lake', which was one of brian wilson's favourite songs!!
Their fame was kind of overwhelmed by the arrival of the Beatles and the British Wave of the mid-60s. The harmonies, oh yes! You can't surpass familial harmony - brothers and cousins (and friends)! If you like this, listen to "God Only Knows", which Sir Paul McCartney declared the greatest love son ever. Loving your channel.
Sarah, you appear to be a lover of love songs. I love your smile and reactions. You should check out God Only Knows and Little Surfer Girl. You should delve into the Beach Boys history. There is an excellent documentary about them. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song and reaction! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
I love watching you groove to the music that I grew up with. Nice to know that your grandmother's are cool still huh!? This song was the number one song what are boys were drafted and on their way to Vietnam to die. Learn how they came back from the war and you will understand why that song is so strong in our hearts
I seriously love them. Went through my Beach Boys faze when I was 10......fell in love with their music and have loved it ever since. Brian Wilson is a genius. The musicians who actually cut on the record were the Wrecking Crew....if you don't know who they are LOOK THEM UP. The film about them is floating around youtube. They recording on every major act's albums for 20 years. Sinatra? Covered. Beach Boys? Covered. Jan and Dean? Yep. Dean Martin? Yep. on and on.
The 50s through the 70s had great groups. My favorites were the 4 Seasons, the Moody Blues and the Beach Boys and everything from Motown Records (too many groups to list here!!!)❤❤
Hi Sarah, just found you when you reviewed Vincent ( Stary Start Night. I never realized who that song was about, but now thanks to you I do. Thank you, such a real and awesome song. So many suffer in silence with Mental Illness and help is still not easily available yet for us. Thanks so much. Love your show. Love Kate from Texas, USA
That's my favorite early Beach Boys song, and it always makes me cry because no one's ever said that to me. Little Deuce Coupe is another early, early favorite.
Beach Boys and Chicago are my favorite bands from my teenage years! Loved their music and still love it. I actually got to see the Beach Boys last summer at Wild Adventures in Valdosta GA. ❤
Fantastic song. Explore their albums. There are many gems that most people have never heard. Capitol Records didn't promote them because they only wanted surfin and car songs.
Second only to the Beatles. How I miss their genius! They, for too short a time pushed the music envelope. Both groups inspired many of the modern genres of the music we now call rock and roll.
Even in my 50s I test out my range against this group. Aside from that - and against some stiff competition from their own back catalogue - this is one of my favourites.
Brian Wilson is a genius. Period. I'd recommend God Only Knows, Sloop John B, In My Room, Good Vibrations, Feel Flows and Sail On Sailor to name but a few.
Hi Sarah you have thousands of fabulous songs to listen to, I'm so proud of you,try i'll never find another you, by the seekers they were a ausie band.regards jimbo.
I love your videos Sarah. I feel many of these songs deep in my soul too ❤️🔥. Great choices. The band name comes from the surfing culture of the time.
Check out Heroes and Villains and Add some Music to Your Day. I saw them live over 10 times. They usually had an acapella section in their concerts. They would give me goose bumps.
Brian Wilson, the musical genius behind the beach boys music, was obsessed with a new song that just hit the charts. it was by producer Phil Spector, and contained Phil's signature WALL OF SOUND that Brian was so enamored with. The song was BE MY BABY, by the Ronettes and it was #1. Brian's wife Marilyn, knowing the depth of his musical talent, simply told him. "don't worry Baby".
the beatles had competition with the beach boy's at one time the beatles learned some thing's from the famous beach boy's. to be honest if l had to choose between beatles and the beach boy's the beach boy's for sure.
1st concert, BB , ALL ABOUT cars,girls,the sun, the beach and fun fun fun....Nxy. God only knows. ,[= On my room...or fun funfun till her daddy takes the t bird away..
And all during the time Brian was making this ecstatic and sublime music he was being beaten and abused by his whack job father. Beauty comes from the strangest places.
@@phil-nt4yz Sublime is good but its crazy to say they're better than the BBs. You can't say any band is better than whatever band because they're all unique and fit to everyone's personal tastes. Not only that you're comparing the career span as limited and short as Sublime to the decades long catalog of the BBs. Music is art in many different styles that's a form of self expression. I could say that Slayer sucks because I don't like fast paced music and offend someone because their music speaks to them profoundly.

The Beach Boys' vocal harmonies are still second to none. Just amazing talent!
England had the Beatles ; America had the Beach Boys. Explore their music, it'll melt you .
Such a fabulous band. Have always loved their beautiful music!! 😅
One of my favorite songs! Brian Wilson is the Mozart of popular music!
Beautiful song
The Beach Boys were amazing. And they were just as amazing in concert. And it is just so much fun watching your reaction. You are so enthusiastic and have such a beautiful spirit.
One of my all time favorite groups

The Gorgeous harmonies of the Beach Boys!❤
React to The Beach Boys, “God Only Knows” Paul McCartney said best written song ever,,,amazing
Not bad pick for Sarah. She'd also respond well to Kokomo and the extended cut of Good Vibrations.
The vocal harmonies in this song are some of the best in the entire history of pop music. This song and "Catch a Wave" are the best of the best harmonies.
Imagine a teenage girl hearing this song in the 1960s. It was all about love and caring. Another song youll enjoy of theirs is "In My Room".
It's about a boyfriend who's bragged too much about his hot rod car and is about to risk his life in a drag race just to impress his guy friends. He assures her that her love will keep him safe.
It's deeper and darker than the music sounds like.
There are so many good songs!
If you love beautiful harmonies have a listen to the Hollies.
Sarah..you are a beautiful soul..love your reactions

❤❤❤❤LOVE THEM, ALWAYS. I STILL LISTEN TO THEM❤❤❤❤

I don't have to imagine, this was part of the music I grew up with, like the title of a program they were "Happy Days!"
One of their best..

The Mamas and Papas have awesome harmonies
No one else ever did harmonies like The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson really is a genius.

Honey you have to hear the "Sloop John B".
I love watching you groove to the music that I grew up with. Nice to know that your grandmother's are cool still huh!?

"Surf's Up" is another song to hear from these guys. Great stuff. 🙂
The 50s through the 70s had great groups. My favorites were the 4 Seasons, the Moody Blues and the Beach Boys and everything from Motown Records (too many groups to list here!!!)❤❤
My favorite Beach Boys song by far...
Yes, these Beach Boys, they knew what they were doing.
Hi Sarah, just found you when you reviewed Vincent ( Stary Start Night. I never realized who that song was about, but now thanks to you I do. Thank you, such a real and awesome song. So many suffer in silence with Mental Illness and help is still not easily available yet for us. Thanks so much. Love your show. Love Kate from Texas, USA
America's band!🏆🏆🏆🏆
the perfect Pop Song of all time
That's my favorite early Beach Boys song, and it always makes me cry because no one's ever said that to me. Little Deuce Coupe is another early, early favorite.
I could play that energetic guitar solo!
Beach Boys and Chicago are my favorite bands from my teenage years! Loved their music and still love it. I actually got to see the Beach Boys last summer at Wild Adventures in Valdosta GA. ❤
Fantastic song. Explore their albums. There are many gems that most people have never heard. Capitol Records didn't promote them because they only wanted surfin and car songs.
the most unique harmonies youll find. infact the band Chicago asked for the beach boys help when recording the song wishing you were here.
Sarah, your reactions are so genuine and real, you’re one of the best who I enjoy watching your appreciation of my music of yesteryear ❤️
Brian Wilson made good use of Phil Spector's wall of sound for this record.
Americas greatest band.
Try reacting to Surfing USA by the beach boys . They have lots of hits .
Second only to the Beatles. How I miss their genius! They, for too short a time pushed the music envelope. Both groups inspired many of the modern genres of the music we now call rock and roll.
Bruce Springsteen’s favorite song. Inspired his 1987, album Tunnel of Love. Both classics.
Even in my 50s I test out my range against this group. Aside from that - and against some stiff competition from their own back catalogue - this is one of my favourites.
Brian Wilson is a genius. Period. I'd recommend God Only Knows, Sloop John B, In My Room, Good Vibrations, Feel Flows and Sail On Sailor to name but a few.
Grab the surf board and don't worry about anything! 😂🏄🌊🤙✌️
Darlin is their best song
Please play it
Hi Sarah you have thousands of fabulous songs to listen to, I'm so proud of you,try i'll never find another you, by the seekers they were a ausie band.regards jimbo.
If you want to hear a VOICE, The Platters!! I would suggest Only You, My Prayer, or Smoke gets in your eyes!!
The harmony of the beach boys is only challenged by Queen
I love your videos Sarah. I feel many of these songs deep in my soul too ❤️🔥. Great choices.
The band name comes from the surfing culture of the time.
If you're that into male vocal harmony try the Beatles "If I Fell," and the Four Seasons "Big Girls Don't Cry."
I love seeing your reactions to music. You're a wonderful person!!
thank you, sarah! btw, i do like the beach boys as well!!
Thank you Sara
Check out Heroes and Villains and Add some Music to Your Day.
I saw them live over 10 times. They usually had an acapella section in their concerts. They would give me goose bumps.
For their *BEST SONG* (in my opinion) listen to *Wouldn’t It Be Nice* 👍🏼
Thanks!
Thank you so much 😊
I.was
Watching.back

60.70
Not bad for the 60’s huh! Check out the album Pet Sounds.
Still, just crumbles me.
PLEASE listen to Chris Cornell, isolated vocals, Like a stone. You will be blown away!!
whoever remixed this song deserves to be in jail, It's criminal 🤬🤬
Always a beach party with these panty droppers
Have you listened to "he ain't heavy he's my brother " by the Hollies" 1969

You need to listen to Good Vibrations.
the beatles had competition with the beach boy's at one time the beatles learned some thing's from the famous beach boy's. to be honest if l had to choose between beatles and the beach boy's the beach boy's for sure.
could you react to "CARUSO" please ? both Lucio Dalla(original) and Pavarotti's versions which I think you might like
or maybe the Pavarotti's version of "it's a man's man's man's world"
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
Oh, right. "Ridiculous" meaning "incredible."
This song is not about a girl but about a car (before a race) !
Well that kinda spoils things!
Dear Buzzkill,
Wrong again Neuropile.
It's a song sung to his girlfriend about his car and racing .
1st concert, BB , ALL ABOUT cars,girls,the sun, the beach and fun fun fun....Nxy. God only knows. ,[= On my room...or fun funfun till her daddy takes the t bird away..
And all during the time Brian was making this ecstatic and sublime music he was being beaten
and abused by his whack job father. Beauty comes from the strangest places.
Sad that they had an abusive father…..their song In My Room reflected their song to their bedroom to escape.
Brian Wilson was probably one of not the greatest musical genius of the rock era in terms of musical composition, harmony, originality etc.
Joyful, isn’t it.
Learn a little bit more about the Beatles, on You Tube, Paul McCartney at Kennedy
Center Honers . . .
If you want sublime listen the band sublime. Much better than the beach boys.

That is a Phil Spector Production right?
No. Brian Wilson produced it.
@@Spiderific And that is why it is so great.
