Vince Gill ~ The Warmth Of The Sun

[@geraldnovak5042]

If I passed away this evening and this was the last song i ever heard I would have heard the best .

[@keithcarlson615]

So beautiful.

[@rmoore1686]

This is really a beautiful song. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys wrote it.

[@ReverendBrown.]

I took my daughter to a Vince Gill concert many years ago. She was 7 at the time. We had tix to a meet and greet dinner prior to the show. She was the only child in the dining room. There was a long line of people waiting to get a pic and autograph from Vince. I decided we would just stay at our table and let it all die down and maybe catch him as he was almost done. After a little bit, he excused himself from the line and came over to our table, got down on a knee and started talking to my daughter. Signed the cd cover we brought (When love finds you) and took pics with us. Nothing but class.

[@nipstertunes]

Thank you for sharing your experience with Mr. Gill. It sounds like many of the things I have heard about him. I have seen him in concert and he it an amazingly gifted talented man. Thank you so much for stopping by to watch and listen to this video :))

Supposedly it has something to do with the Kennedy assassination but I forgot sakes can't tell what

[@Liamoconnor1208]

I could listen all day to Vince Gill singing Brian Wilson’s song. Made in Heaven for both artists

[@robertchamberlain7202]

This should be in a space capsule for the universe to hear.

Vince sings like an angel and plays guitar like the devil. A most perfect musician to me.

[@josephfernandes6562]

"Warmth of the Sun" IMHO is the most hauntingly beautiful song to ever be delivered by the Beach Boys. Yet somehow, Vince Gill is able to take it to another level while paying tribute and remaining faithful to the original. All with the seeming ease of a stroll in the park! Great performance and great post. Many thanks for both!

[@jasonphillips6877]

Well said. Gill in an interview states he did he his best work when he was just outside his comfort zone. He may look cool here but I bet he is nervous.

Effortlessly done, with his hand in his pocket!! This is an incredibly hard song to sing and it didn't seem to even challenge him. Vince is fantastic...

[@justsingit72]

You are so right... I make a lot of vocal covers...I've been working on this one for a while... One of the hardest to sing without forcing it... Somewhere in between regular voice and falsetto... Vince is amazing!

Met Vince in person when her was on tour with Conway Twitty so many years ago. Vince is the only other singer that could do this song justice.

I’ve loved The Beach Boys since my teens and always loved this hauntingly beautiful song - this rendition is every bit one of the greatest vocal performances I’ve ever heard. Wow. A real stunner. Will now be on all of my playlists.

I was originally unfamiliar with Vince Gill prior to this tribute concert. But he's won mad respect from me ever since this utterly flawless performance. It still gives me chills to listen to.

Never ever heard this one by anybody else cept the Beach Boys well done mate

[@michaelrutledge7048]

I never would have thought than a BB tune could be covered better than the original, but Gill has come as close to doing just that with his version of Warmth of the Sun. This is a special song for me. Hearing it instantly transported me back 60 years to my 7th grade dance class. I remember dancing to this tune (BB’s version) with my then squeeze, Pam. We reconnected at our 2009 40th HS reunion and kept in touch until her passing in 2016.

Written on 11-22-63. Brian Wilson said his mood became melancholy later that afternoon when he heard the bad news...and so he wrote about losing love, something teens could relate to.

At a book signing in 2016, once I stepped up to get mine signed, I said to Brian, "I want you to know that The Warmth Of The Sun is one of my comfort blanket songs, in down times. He immediately looked up at me, smiled and thanked me. This cover by Vince goes right through you and another that is in my tenor wheel house vocally.

Hi there. I believe the gentleman that looks like Christopher Cross is actually Jeffrey Foskett, who used to be in Brian's band. When he was heavy, he bore a strong resemblance to Cross.

[@literallyshaking8019]

Beautiful rendition, perfect dynamics and tasteful inflections (he didn’t fall into the trap of “over-singing” like many vocalists do to show off).

[@djs3484]

I had forgotten to give Vince a proper thank you for his earliest successes when he was with the Pure Prairie League, their "Live Taking the Stage" album was/is and forever will be on my playlists. They actually sounded much better live than on the studio album, and to anyone who listened to that live album knew Vince was going to be a phenomenal success.

This is incredible, who could pull this off other than a young Brian? Sublime is the only word to describe this.

[@michaellazzeri2069]

Brian began the melody for this Masterpiece on the evening of 11/22/1963 , a Friday I'll never forget. As he played it for Mike Love, the idea began in his mind, as how to approach the lyrics. he came upon the idea of a love that is lost, because the girl didn't feel the same way as the guy did. But instead of despairing, Mike turned it onto something hopeful, & indeed, beautifully sad. They created a pure 100% masterpiece. --------------MJL, 77 y/o
