Blows me away how gifted these boys are. Remember, they were KIDS when they blessed us with this. I wouldn't want to be younger than I am for all the corn in Carolina. I love my life and era, thanks to things like this.
The isolated tracks you can find online nowadays are really cool to listen to, but none more than the Beach Boys imho. Their singing talent, and Brian's genius in arranging vocal harmony, are something that Rock and Roll will likely never see again.
Thats Carl on lead, with Brian and Bruce...Brian singing bampa, bampa...listen close at 1:37, that's Bruce, then Brian comes in and also handles the high falsetto...spoken words at the end are Bruce "...is that cool?"...similarly you can hear Bruce in the tag to California Girls...Brian of course arranged it all. Pure bliss...RIP Carl
This might be obvious but Brian used their voices as instruments, the arrangement is so much like an instrumental when you hear it isolated. Amazing. I just don't hear that these days.
SECOND SONG TODAY IN OUR MINI SURVEY OF ISOLATED VOCALS IS THE BEACH BOYS' GOD ONLY KNOWS. Included on what many consider their masterpiece album from 1966, Pet Sounds, God Only Knows is surely one of their most beautiful songs. The album reached #10 in America and #2 in U.K. On a personal note, I was never a big fan of the Beach Boys and couldn't figure out why. All my friends were saying they were great .One day it hit me. Most of the harmony singing I liked had a deep bass voice somewhere in the mix, like in doo wop and soul, and that is what I was used to. The Beach Boys did not and so, to me, it seemed like lightweight fluff. I've since come around to really appreciate their singing.
@@1401minstrel that’s misinformation which is often regurgitated. My initial comment is a fact. Brian has confirmed it multiple times, with a high degree of detail. It was a bonding moment between he and Al. It’s a known fact.
@@AndySalinger33 Okay, I can believe that it's not Carl in the final round section and that Al's voice is there with Brian, but I've listened to it over and over again, and I really find it hard to believe that the second "God only knows..." line in the round is anyone other than Bruce. Bruce's voice has a sweet quality that is missing from Brian's and Al's voices. I know, and this video proves, that Bruce sang that line in live shows.
@@umraansyed yep, Brian’s the oldest, followed by Dennis and Carl. Believe it or not, Brian was only 23 when he worked on Pet Sounds… which was the bands ELEVENTH studio album. Crazy talent.
I realize 1966 probably had a lot of competition. you had the Beatles raging, and we can’t forget the mighty Motown. Still, how on earth did this album only get to number 10? You have several Smithsonian worthy songs on that album! What was America thinking?
Imagine what a gift to write a perfect song and give it to your brother to sing
@Justin Puga I bet not because Carl sang the hell out of it.
@Justin Puga That was his intention the whole time though, he had Carl in mind the entire time he was writing it.
Launiz, it’s spelled know you moron
@@brgreg8725 brother that was so unnecessary
@@utub1473 it wasn’t at you. Some jerk said “no disrespect but you don’t no nothing about The Beach Boys”. I’m well within my rights to call them out

Check out a Chris Cornell one dude🤙
matthew patrick I’m a big Brian Wilson fan and I’m always trying to find videos I haven’t seen yet.
@@beef88any recommendations? Only the best of his best
OMG this is so perfect, and so sad that Carl is gone. Makes me want to cry.

Sometimes I have a difficult time telling Carl’s and Brian’s voice apart.
@@julieannemichelle for years i had no idea Carl was the one singing on this and Good Vibrations
"listen close"??? Lol...the video SHOWS it's Bruce (if you didn't already know)
Hands down my favorite Beach Boys classic tune.
Love this! Love The Beach Boys! RIP Carl & Denny!

Carl Wilson had the voice of an angel

Heavenly. Still can't make up my mind. If this is the best song of the '60s or not.
Just magnificent!!!
Thx Playback FM... Great job. Enjoyed this.
Amazing, incredible talent!
Legends.

Vocals from 0:58 to 1:07 = pure heaven.
Wonderful! Thanks!
Here after Beach Boys on Disney+. ❤❤❤❤❤
Brilliant!
a chorus of angels 01:34
amazing
Fantastic
Carl Wilson top top
Surpasses the harmonies on Sgt. Pepper a few years later! :)
As the story goes Sgt. Pepper was the Beatles reply to PET SOUNDS.
And to think, the entire outro was dropped in by only Brian & Al, singing every part of the ‘round’. Bloody amazing. This song is it.
The outro is Carl, Bruce and Brian.

Here is the story, from BB archivist Craig Slowinski. The outro is Brian and Bruce. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Only_Knows#Vocals
Friends Mine Singing God Only Knows I Miss
Carl was 19 singing this... wow.
Gtfo are you serious?
@@umraansyed yep, he was 19 at the time. The Beach Boys formed when he was 14 or 15.
@@finkaiser3994 freakin crazy. Thought they were early mid 20s. I guess Brian was. He was the oldest right?
@@umraansyed yep, Brian’s the oldest, followed by Dennis and Carl. Believe it or not, Brian was only 23 when he worked on Pet Sounds… which was the bands ELEVENTH studio album. Crazy talent.
@@finkaiser3994 that was their peak though. They had several difficult years after this
Carl was 19 when he recorded this song
One of the reasons that I quit smoking. RIP Carl Wilson

What software are you using to isolate the tracks?
Muito bom !!!?
Wasn’t Carl like 17 years old when he sang this?
@Oakland autodetail Carl was 19 at the time of this recording.
I think he unison doubled the vocals...
Double tracking.
They should be called The Wilson Bros.
philip Brailey Except for Al and Mike
Owen Bodine Al & The Bros
loweredd what about the other members who joined later
No Brian, no Boys.....period.
