Mike Love And Bruce Johnston On The Maury Povich Show (1992)

[@reevie3463]

Thank you so much for posting this interview! I loved it!! It made me actually grow to like Mike even more! He’s probably my 3rd fave Beach Boy, and this video made me like him more! Love how humble and kind Bruce is!! He’s definitely the best Beach Boy! I always love hearing what he has to say! I love his voice and I love his easygoing and down to earth personality!! Very talented and wonderful man!

This was so awesome! Thank you so much for this! First time I see Bruce actually talk this much! Glad to see his talent on the piano. Thanks for mentioning Bruce’s Grammy. Bruce doesn’t get enough credit. I don’t think it’s well known and when I first learned about it and the song that he wrote, I nearly fell off my chair! Who knew? I so remember when “I Write The Song” came out and can even recall details of that time that very day. Bruce appears maybe she on stage but he I think he’s the most grounded BB. 😅 Back in late 60’s, they were to play Shea Stadium. But it apparently was cancelled. And there they were around the back of Shea. I called Bruce by name and he came over shook my hand. I was in heaven, the groupie that I was 😂. If I recall correctly, Peter Noone was out back too. I wish to be able to see them perform now, with or without Stamos! Without Dennis RIP and Carl RIP sadly.

I was at that show taping and I still have the photos I took. :)

How lucky 🍀 are you!!!!

And so marks the first of 23,586 public references to Bruce Johnston being the only Beach Boy to win a Grammy -- for a non-Beach Boys song, no less. Thank you, Mike Love, for pulling Maury aside before the show and ensuring he mentioned this on air. One down, 23,585 to go!

If Bruce Johnson had gave that song to the beachboys, it would have ruined their career and he said himself.

Bruce is such a great pianist, such great feel, dynamics and tempo

[@ronfowlermusic]

but we never get to hear him play anymore, he's too busy adjusting his mic stand and clapping

[@NateRuvin414]

@@ronfowlermusic we hear his keyboard prominently on Be True, Disney Girls, Darlin and GV as he plays the main piano on those. He also sings some of the toughest Harmony parts for the duration of the show. He usually sings the second highest or highest part in the stack, and if you took him away, the harmonies would sound lacking, see Washington DC 2017 for proof of that.

​@@NateRuvin414sim, Bruce é fantástico! Eu amo a sua voz e o seu piano 💓

[@ronfowlermusic]

Probably the last time Bruce was seen in long pants.

[@jmua8450]

Lmao. Truth. The white shorts and white KEDS were just around the corner.

[@johndoyle2429]

I'm not big fan of Mike love but to fair to him, I'm glad he credit for those early songs he wrote with Brian wilson.

[@NateRuvin414]

Excellent content , as always.

"Hoping to go platinum again with SIP..." 🤣

[@EloraBB]

a little optimism never hurt anyone!

[@cthewave9955]

Weren't the only copies of SIP that sold were the ones Uncle Jesse distributed at the end of that Full House episode? 🤔 (🤭)

[@cthewave9955]

@A S What? For real? And you're talking about the 30 Year Good Vibrations box set, right? SIP might actually sell better today, if it was re-released as a two-fer with Still Cruisin, with the rest of the Brother Records lineup.

[@cthewave9955]

@A S Oh...and I'll call QVC if they have any extras sitting around in their warehouse 🤣🤣

[@cthewave9955]

@A S I'm a hardcore fan...and I still have my GV poster.

[@dennymartin18]

The real Beach Boys were the Wilson brothers and Al Jardine ☝🏻😎

[@kookadams85]

I love this! Mike gets a bad rap from time t'time but he's 'still cruisin after all these years!

[@ciarandunphy2035]

Still, cruising on cousin Brians coattails

[@georgemusic4all4seasons]

Mike Love contributed to Beach Boys and went after what he contributed.

Sounds like Brian had an addiction to depression I bet you he didn't 🤣🤣🤣

[@mickdeleon5072]

Yes, that was badly worded.

[@susanfit47]

Maury, before You Are Not the Father thing.

[@DanThomasUK]

Hilarious when absolutely no one was singing with them

The audience is asleep at 11:50 😂

Could those pics of Dennis and Brian fly by any faster? Geez.

[@mickdeleon5072]

I'm surprised at Maury's good interviewing here; he's always struck me as being a real tool.
