correct, he had the perfect voice for that southern Californian sound

[@davidnissim589]

People give him flack because of his nasal singing, but almost every surf singer had a nasal voice. Brian chose him because he had the voice for the California sound.

[@FSAPOJake]

Not to mention he was capable of writing beautiful songs himself. Listen to their song "Big Sur" which is one of the most beautiful songs the Beach Boys ever recorded. Shame he wasn't fully on board with the kinda music Brian wanted to make, considering he had a talent for it himself.

[@affirmativeaction1]

He looks pretty damn comfortable to me.

I wonder how many thousands of kids east of the Mississippi saw this great live performance and ended up moving to Southern California. My family had migrated there two years previously, so I was already set. Right place. Right time.

It's crazy we get to see a random moment in 1964 brought to life. The way Ed Sullivan introduced them and the way some TV presenter introduces a band tomorrow are exactly the same. It is putting this performance right up against any other late night performance in all of TV.

Even Brian looks fairly happy, although even here there is a kind of deep-seated background anguish about him.

One of the few bands that UNDOUBTEDLY SOUND like themselves and fantastic!!!!

[@impalaman9707]

The song that made them famous in the UK. There wasn't just one invasion in 1964. When the Beatles invaded America, the Beach Boys invaded Britain and took over within two years. That was the greatest "foreign exchange" in history!

[@Boogieboy138]

My God, Mike Love is such a dork with those moves. I can't help but smile.

Who is with me in terms of Brian Wilson hitting all of those amazing vocal parts. Such a classic sound...

[@seanscott7070]

Brians falsetto on the chorus has always made me quite literally happy, or my version of it, as of late in the last few years ill even break into tears , and feel very regretful or remorseful..I truly hope that this man does fully grasp how important on a spiritual level even to many, that his music has been, and shall remain. Thank you Mr. Brian Douglas Wilson, sincerely, and in truth.

The 60'S Calif. Sound.. Fast Cars Ocean Beaches & of course the Band that EPITOMIZED it ALL

[@cdk2968]

For all those "Mike-haters" - great example of what makes the Beach Boys sooo awsome: Mike's wry delivery of relatable story-lyrics in contrast to Brian's out-of-this-world natural falsetto. It's a Band, it's a mix of great talents!

[@kshepard52]

If the big musical decisions had been left up to Mike Love the band's success would have been a fraction of its eventual success. Mike fought Brian's genius and instincts at almost every important juncture, and then did his best to exaggerate his own contributions, including suing Brian. Brian was 80% about the music, 20% being a star. Mike was the reverse.

[@cdk2968]

@@kshepard52 Sure, I get what you're at - but all we'll ever get is the actual Beach Boys, not the the imaginary "Wilson Brothers' Band" - and cousin Mike is part of that outfit... and he's got a way with words, gotta give him that...

This was 1964. One of the few times the Beatles were displaced from the top of the charts was by this song.
