Sloop John B - Los Rios Rock School

[@gregmackenzie5822]

Tell you guys an amazing SJB story , 6 years ago my sister passed , as kids we all loved the Beach Boys , we went to a Beach Boys concert when we were kids , our fave song was SJB , after she passed away I was taking a lot of her things to friends in Vancouver , driving along about 1630 with the radio on , alone in the car I asked her to play SJB , as God is my witness seconds later it came on the radio , love you Carey , Rest in Peace .

[@LosRiosRockSchool]

That’s amazing!

I love the story about your sister.

[@davidponseigo8811]

Sometimes the people we love who have left us send us a message when we need it most. I lost my sister 6 years ago myself to cancer so I understand. I'm happy you got your sister's message.

It's so awesome that the younger generation is playing music that our generation listened to growing up. You guys did an awesome job. Thanks for posting

[@jerau2990]

Even better: They clearly had so much fun playing the song 🤩

[@747oo7]

Younger generations are going to be listening to music that we grew up with for a very very very long time. I consider myself lucky to grow up when I did when I compare the music I listen to growing up to the music people have to listen to now. I also feel very very sorry for the kids today.

Absolutely wonderful. The vocals, instruments, the entire song is great.

The best thing is that Mike Love was not on the original recording…

[@laurelgarza629]

Yes.

[@mikebrown-y7q]

What an interesting talented singer this girl is, doesn't need any gimmicks to make her look like a talent, she radiates it and proves it. Her and the musicians made this song better than any others ,hope to see more.

[@johnbradshaw5900]

Sloop John B is one of those songs that seems to resonate with each generation and is timeless. It's also a song that can be interpreted in different ways (compare the Kingston Trio with the Beach Boys). This is a terrific version, wonderfully performed, well done all!

[@nigeljohnson4880]

Yeah, I agree with you. There are so many ways that this song can be felt and interpreted. It's almost a standard, one of those songs that an artist must have in their repertoire to perform. Surely a great accolade for the Beach Boys. Above all is the feeling.

[@ThrillingTwo]

The lead vocal is just outstanding!!!

[@OnePost909]

Exactly the right feel - slightly druggy and way too sunburned.

[@BobsPoolService]

For anyone wondering who the lead singer is, her name is Elle Sanders, beautiful voice.

[@JonfitzFitzjohn-k6s]

Nice One

[@bobstratton6362]

You kids are awesome. I don’t know any of you but proud of you all!

[@robteir4668]

The drummer is perfect. He gets that song requires intensity, but not loudness. He also seems to be having a blast.

[@geejoe911]

Dennis was self-taught! I think the kid just understood this and just stuck with basics. Bravo

[@DavidEdelsohn]

@@geejoe911 Dennis Wilson? Yes, about Dennis, but Dennis wasn't the drummer for the Beach Boys recording sessions. Hal Blaine, member of the Wrecking Crew session musicians, was the drummer on Pet Sounds. The drummer for this cover is great, with the right intensity.

[@andrewmcintyre91]

Excellent! Brian and Al would be proud, I'm sure!

[@mikeg2482]

@ellesanders9695 The singer properly understands that the grandchild character is enduring crappy circumstances ... not overcoming them. She pulled it off beautifully. She also gets that she should not be trying to show off her voice range or be decorative. She instead maintains a minimalist simple flat tone which hits the target. Also allows us to better enjoy the harmonies and layers of the talented choir and instruments. She avoids trying to be the center of attention ... and this ironically creates a performance in which she is memorable. Thumbs up to the arranger and conductor and mixer. Camera work turned out great. Congratulations to everyone involved for your superb teamwork and for building your catchy remarkable treatment of a classic song.

[@mikefox2379]

Wow, man, if I could have been a part of something like that when I was a kid I'd be miles ahead in my music. These kids are spectacular!!

Great singing and harmonies. You nailed it!!

[@MrSychophant]

The expression of delight on the face of the bassist as soon as he hears the introduction note on the keyboard (originally the flute) is one reason l keep playing this video over and over again.

That was the only expression of any emotion in the entire video. Nice chops and good harmonies, though

[@toddanderson9532]

Well done. Carol Kaye's bass shines in the original, and here as well. Hal Blaine's drums just perfect. The original was production perfection, and a high standard, and you nailed it. You guys got chops.
