Wow this is great! My dad played bass on this and arranged the vocals and horns. I've never got to hear the isolated vocals before. Thank you so much for this.

[@Psalmstrings]

Your dad Chip Douglas MADE this song. Without him, and his brilliant arrangement, this song was dead in the water. The demo without his input can be heard on KZbin. It sucked until he breathed life into it.

[@sheistcoff]

Would you kindly post a link to the demo? Couldn't find it. Cheerz@@Psalmstrings

That is so cool…I think this song is one of the 3 greatest pop songs every recorded

[@gustavomendieta]

The background vocals on this song are some of the most beautiful I've heard. Brilliant.

[@wildhorses1339]

holy shit the arrangement of the backing vocals. the brass really makes it too

[@whoatherejohnny]

The bassoon is obviously the glue holding the whole enterprise together.

[@lawrencerasmus]

I saw the Turtles live in around 1966 at a Skating rink in Downey California

[@alexandrabee]

That's amazing! Could you possibly tell more?

[@Lyle-ge2db]

Great song! I wish I still had my platform shoes. Nice memories!

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

At 10:06 his voice is so vulnerable... Really nice to hear all of this REAL music !!!! (I’ve got nothing against electronics, loops, and using technology in music...but this is truly awesome). 😊❤️🎶

[@SanctumOfTheDin]

As an electronic musician, agreed, and now I'm going to flip this into a DnB remix

[@BenneWill]

I believe that is John Barbata on drums. Love his playing.

[@walshy2116]

What an absolute masterpiece!!! Has a rather Beach Boys feel to it.

[@tloadin1]

Thank you very much for taking the time to make the video and isolated the tracks. I've been trying to find a way to just learn the guitar part as accurately as I can but now thanks to you, I should be able to figure it out by ear. Can't thank you enough for this Alexandra. Very generous of you.

[@laurengirofilo4542]

The vocals on this song just gave me the chills!

[@stereofreakdude3737]

What's amazing is they did excellent isolating in the studio, as the only bleed over you hear is the drums into the guitar as well as the horns . Vocal tracks obviously done in different sessions

[@gdholmfirth]

What a great song, and broken down it is easy to see how simple it was, also. But you bring all the parts together and you have a hit!

[@robinmiller7958]

Wow, the whole production is amazing, great vocals and the rich orchestration on the last section is so good.

[@ellxsandranoratora]

I want a video with just the vocals so I can loop that to death omg💜💜💜

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

Very interesting how they made the backing vocals in prolly a chamber. Obviously they did this to make it sound bigger. Spector, not that he produced this, was known for his big sound on radio, and the chambers he had perfected that sound he was looking for.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

COULDN'T FIND ANY PHOTOS OF THEM RECORDING THE SONG???? Aaaargh! My life has no meaning!! Just kidding! Excellent video!

[@ilgnsogut3715]

Thanks! Marvelous!

[@JOHNKUHNMUSIC]

GEEEZ! I was so stoked just knowing the vox were here, I didnt realize you'd done the WHOLE ensemble !!!.(didnt read the fine print...lol).Being only 7 when all this magic came together, I feel SO CHEATED in this life hatching out TOO LATE in 60.I DO NOT BELONG THE 21ST!!!! WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!..(the humanity ...ARRRG!).LOL.Im NOW hearing where my interp of the brass was NOT what I thought..I woulda definelty had probs so many thanks AGAIN! XOXOXOXOXOX

[@JOHNKUHNMUSIC]

O. M. G !. I cant believe this exists.You must have known I was gonna work this up and wanted to save me HRS arranging the vocal parts..LOL. Id found a really good clear midrange upload with a strong 3KHZ cutting edge in the vox that isolated them alittle better and figured THIS will have to do. Ive done Windy, 5 o'clock World, Make Me lose Control (Eric Carman) Loreli (Styx) , No Time (Guess Who),BUT, THIS ONE??? I honestly DONT think I coulda pulled off without YOUR HELP...LOL..These old road beat ears are tired, taking longer and longer to complete projects. You'll never know how much time you've save me!.This will likely be my last project...Thanks so much for your time/effort

[@JonathanRodri04]

Superb deconstruction as always! Keep up the goodwork!

[@RNZLR751]

Where do you find this tracks? I remember that I used to have it, but the disk where I had it failed and i lost the tracks :(

[@diehardnygiantsfan6569]

I knew that rickenbacker was in there somewhere

[@user-me7on8kb5u]

Honestly the sound remind me to the fender or the hofner

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

Didn't sound like a Rick to me cuz that would have been very bright.

[@diehardnygiantsfan6569]

@@NoOne-kr4jc I feel like it can be heard in the chorus during the heavy strumming in the back

[@marcoantonioorozco1137]

FINE
