He is ridiculed for using studio musicians but that only happened after their early success, they had made some money and it became a real challenge to get everyone in the studio to record.

Mike also performed a song he wrote in honour of George Harrison, with video of the time they spent together in India playing on the big screen while Mike sang. It was a very emotional experience.

As always tremendous job -- the Beach Boys were my first music love and remain so. Notwithstanding his enormous vocal and songwriting abilities, Brian's genius lies in his arranging abilities. The backing track for "I Get Around" is practically avant garde and makes no sense, until you lay the gorgeous pop harmony vocals on top. That he would hear these in his head and record them independently is mind boggling. And as you listened the joy on your face looked like you were getting a bowl of ice cream -- or better!

Yes thank you for explaining the difference between falsetto, and proper “head voice”. Brian Wilson was such a great vocalist. This is a great voice education video! Glad I found you today!

I find it interesting how much their early songs were reportage, singing about their peers and what they did. The street racing, hot rod culture and the overlap and conflict with surfer culture were everyday experiences. My father in law grew up in that part of California. Going to the beach with him, all of the beaches and piers in the songs were just familiar places we'd pass by. The line from "Be True to Your School", "Friday night and ready for a fight" was a reference to one high school, the one he had attended. A "tough school" where getting into a fight at the Friday night football game with kids from the other school was a regular part of the night's entertainment. After his first day at school, as a skinny bookish kid, he realized that as a matter of self defense, a preemptive punch to the face of a lesser school bully would establish himself as a tough guy not to be messed with.

Who taught Brian how to sing, harmonize? Answer: he picked it up and figured it out on his own as a young kid. He then taught those things to the rest of the band when they were young too. He asked em to perform and they responded. Professional musicians find this very difficult yet Brian did it easily because he was the acknowleged leader of the band--following Brian led to success early on.

Full respect for showing us some beach boys cos there so much more than surf music . Listen to surf's up , cabinessence, child is the father of the man and so many more

They all had great voices, but I agree Brian and Carl just had a true, unmatched sweetness to their voices. It was a shame what happened to Brian’s voice in the 1970s.

This guy is a fan AND an afficionado. But in the past few days, by isolating Carl's voice in "God Only Knows", revealing what a great band they were in their live playing and singing ("Fun, Fun, Fun"), and now (I call it the Every- thing Song) "Don't Worry, Baby", has broken my heart in such a beautiful way. At the last second, I looked right at Fil, and I definitely saw the face of someone like me: we've both given ourselves up to this music. Call it rock 'n' roll rhythm & blues country folk or just That Thang.

What's crazy is how amazing every one of their voices was. Brian and Carl Wilson in the same group!?!?! Come on...

When I was a teenager (many moons ago) we would have a lot of beers, play "The Beach Boys" and sing our drunk hearts out.. Good times... I saw them in concert and they were amazing..

Beach Boys vocal arrangements are the best. In other bands, usually when the vocals and backing track are separated, usually the backing sounds more complicated but the Beach Boys vocals actually sound more complicated without the backing. Totally amazing.

Brian’s voice is and will always be like a fine instrument playing. It’s just a joy hearing his voice. Makes you smile and just feel good deep inside.

Today is a great album, my favorite song is the last one. In the Back of My Mind, sung by Denny.

Brian's writing and producing were unparalleled. There was nobody else in his league. But he was also blessed with the good fortune of having seven unique voices (not all at once) whose blend can never be matched. It's impossible to quantify, but when I listen to their harmonies, that blend... that f'ing blend brings tears to my eyes. As a kid, I remember hearing pitch-perfect renditions of BBoys songs with other vocalists in TV commercials (Sunkist, maybe?) and thinking, "how can this version, with flawless vocals and a great mix, sound so pale compared to the original?" It was the blend of those kids' (they were just pups when they started out) voices. Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Al, David, and Bruce.

I met Mike love back in 2018 in Santa Barbara he is the nicest man. He gave me a Beach Boys cap and I've flat worn it out. I was stunned at all the gold records hanging on the wall. Very sweet man and I love the music.

The Beach Boys are always a uplifting analysis! Thanks for showing the two instances that just shows the genius of Brian Wilson.

Thanks for doing this. Brian Wilson is KING. I would love it if you could do from their 1970s, like their SUNFLOWER album from 1970. One of their greatest albums. Not sure there are many live versions of this era, but they didn't do pitch monitoring. "Add Some Music to Your Day" is a classic.

I never knew a "head voice" existed. For ages I've tried to sing along with records, unable to hit high notes (e.g. Phil Everly, and many "backup singers" on Art Garfunkel's "What a Beautiful World"). I heard you hit Brian Wilson's notes, and thought, "Hey! Maybe I can do that too!" and immediately did it. That's real teaching talent you got! Thanks, dude!

Probably my favorite group of all time. So much talent. Brian Wilson is a musical genius and it really shows in his song writing.

There is a good reason why The Beatles considered them their #1 peers in music. Brian Wilson is a genius, and many of the Beach Boys kids have inherited their amazing talent. Carl's voice was sublime, Rip.

The first album my parent ever bought me. Greatest hits. :) Thank you soo sooo much, Fil. :)

I think it's funny how you kind of fell into doing this. You're terrific at it. I have very little training, but when I sing along w/ Brian on Don't Worry Baby, something I have been doing since I heard it as a 7 or 8-year-old, I noticed that I am using a head voice, as you described. I'm gonna look for a vocal teacher and see what is really going on, see whether I can sing as well as I always thought I could. Great work.

I love how you get a big old smile every time Brian's voice comes on. It really is very special. Thanks!

Who is Samuel Untermeyer and why does Elvis hate him?

The most fun I had at a concert was at a Beach Boys concert at a soccer match in a football stadium. Soccer is football played in America, but there is no money involved, so it doesn't stink as much. And football is American football where they never use the foot. And it was a domed stadium in Minnesota in the winter. The football match (sorry, soccer) was boring since it was the 4th game they played in 8 days. But the stadium was packed with 70,000 people in beach outfits. They rightfully booed the end of the match and told those gits to git off the field. And then the Beach Boys came out and played. 70,000 people dancing and singing the songs...great ambiance.

Great stuff, as usual. My first concert was hearing the Beachboys back in 66. But, as an aside, I've really enjoyed these vids. Even at 72, with 55 years of performing for (usually not very much) money, I have a lot to learn, and these discussions have given me another way to think about, and listen to myself, and try to improve my skills.

But to dig in and reveal and understand what I was hearing takes this listening experience to a whole new and different and satisfying level. You are gifted, so thank you.

I’ve never seen a break down of my favourite band like this before! Amazing! Their music is mind blowing and to hear someone who knows about the technical side of music and vocals in particular is fascinating! Thanks so much! 🤩👏🏼

Had to share this with my son who is a huge Brian fan. Can’t wait to hear what he says about it! Thanks fil

Incredibly excellent analysis Fil, as usual! I've loved this song for well over 50 years but I believe your description of some of his technical vocal abilities has made me appreciate him even more, which I didn't think was possible! Thanks!

I would love an analysis of Anita Bakers voice. She goes down very low. She’s amazing. The feeling in each note.

Arh yeah that would be good. She rocks!

How great can anyone be? As you said, the complexity and vocal perfection is simply preternatural. Thank you for this really terrific video. I enjoyed the hell out of your great analysis

These analysis videos are really fun. But, also, you’re voice is really good! I was impressed by your range doing all those examples, nice work! 🙂

I totally agree!!! These video analyses are quite entertaining & informative. I liked the vocal examples sung by Fil, too. I am so glad I stumbled on these & look forward to exploring more of them. 👍☘️😄🤓😸

The vocals were amazing. Brian and Carl were so innately musical for their time/style. Those guys wrote some of the most memorable tunes ever. The chorus to Cali Girls is so unusual and musically cool. Brian's pitch was so spot on.
