Such wonderful harmony these guys where so underrated.the wilson brothers had such a hard childhood and sadly as we all know sadness in later life.but this music showed what these musical geniuses could do rip carl and dennis.
I had the honor of meeting Carl Wilson in 1971 and I told him how much I loved Breakaway. He said happily , “ My Dad wrote that.” Reggie Dunbar AKA Murray Wilson.
@@ShonziTho Yes, indeed. A member of the Wrecking Crew told me his father really made them with the discipline required for the harmony, and yet there was the destructive aspect which might have ruined them. Fortunately the music survived and thrives to this day. And Carl was a truly gentle soul and wanted family unity.
Murry. Carl was, and is, a decent soul! But, from what I heard, after Brian "retired," Carl ran the band, with an iron fist. Just another thing to like about one of Mikey's cousins. steve
@@steveskouson9620 there was a lot of in- fighting and trauma going on the band and I think Carl was trying to bring some discipline and leadership into the band
I didn't realize how much range Alan had, back then. Thought that most of the high stuff was just Carl. Al ROCKS! So does his son Matt. Carl Dean still NAILED this song. (We won't elaborate on Carl's WEIRD Cousin.) steve
There’s another different promo for this song I’ve seen here on YT that features Mike Love looking like some twisted cult leader, in a huge white kaftan with that silly beard. Just ridiculous.
This song only reached number 63 on the U.S. charts. For the life of me, I don't understand why it wasn't a huge hit here. Catchy and inventive from a recording perspective. It did better overseas though (#6 in the U.K.).
@@thehighllama8101It probably had something to do with American DJ’s blacklisting them at the time. By ‘69 the Beach Boys had really fallen out of favor with the boomer hippie elite in America, and they were the ones buying most of the records that year. After their no show at Monterrey Pop in ‘67 and failure to deliver on the promise of the then-unreleased SMiLE album, they were labeled ‘uncool’ and cast out of the inner circle. It just so happened that they released some of their best material during that whole period of ‘68 through ‘71, and that includes this song, but only the diehards were paying attention in America. The UK was a very different story. They were still huge over there. Bigger than the Beatles even.
Quite a few of them actually. Not just this one but Darlin’, Here Comes The Night, Wake The World, Do It Again, I Can Hear Music, This Whole World, All I Wanna Do, Long Promised Road, Don’t Go Near The Water, Surf’s Up, Till I Die…. I could go on and on and on. America basically ignored them at the time, but that whole period of ‘68 through ‘71 was a really productive time for them.
There were a lot of people back then saying the same thing about the 40’s and 50’s. You know, the squares? There will be people 20 to 30 years from now saying the same thing about the 2020’s. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This is all Carl. If you listen closely, you can tell. Brian's voice wasn't as soulful as Carl's. They were both amazing, but just had a different sound than the other.
Madeline H. It's not all Carl. He sings lead on most of the 1st verse, while Brian sings the end of the 1st verse: "that very same love that passed me by, and that is why...". Al sings lead in the choruses, Carl sings all of the 2nd verse, Mike sings lead on the bridge "found out it was in my head" with Brian sing the "baby baby" part underneath. During the end tag, Carl sings the"jump for joy" part, while all 6 of the guys harmonize. Listen closely, as Brian sings the high parts in the harmonies.
Mike Rotch it doesn't sound like Al on the second verse, at least not to me. He has a bit more of a gruff voice, while Carl's is smoother and higher pitched. The other parts I can agree with you on.
I never noticed how many of The Beach Boys sang different parts on this song. I hear Carl on the verses, Brian on the end of verse 1 and a few other parts. Al is doing the chorus and Mike even does the breakaway bridge part. I even think Bruce has a few lines in there. I always assumed Carl sang the chorus, but it makes sense for it to be Al. He had an incredible rock voice, just listen to Help me Rhonda.
@@Elvis-Pelvis03 0:46 is Brian, he sang an earlier take and this is probably left behind from that. There’s also spots here and there where it’s not Carl on the verses. But he sings the majority of them.
Yep this is Carl. Although he often performed Brian’s parts live as Brian barely toured. But in 2019 aged 77 Brian is performing vocals recorded by Carl, more than 20 years after his passing. Funny how it all turned out.
Should’ve been a Hit but at the time The Beach Boys and Capital Records were at odds and American tastes in Music was getting heavier and Radio Stations weren’t promoting it like it had previous releases. I thought it Simply Subprime along with Celebrate the News when I first heard them at the time. 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Well, there’s a bit more to it than that. Keep in mind that at the exact same time they’d fallen out of favor here in the states, they were still the number one biggest band in the UK. Even bigger than the Beatles in ‘69. The reason they’d been written off here was because of two things: one being their big no show at the Monterrey Pop Festival in ‘67, and two was their failure to deliver the much hyped, much anticipated SMiLE album. It really put them at odds with the American hippie elite, who at that time were either going for the whole country rock thing like the Byrds and the Band, or they were going for heavy acid rock. The Beach Boys were neither of those things, though they were still cranking out great new music and albums. American DJ’s had been informed that the BB’s were ‘uncool’, and told not to play the new records. Then Murry went and sold off all their publishing rights around the same time.
darrenjray Carl sang lead here, so he's not miming Brian. Brian did record a demo lead vocal for the purpose of guiding the band on how the song would sound, but this version is Carl on lead vox (and Brian on harmony)
I Would rather Listen to E.L.O ( Electric Lighthouse Orchestra) A.C.D.C Suzi Quatro Kiss Lynyrd Skynrd 100 Maniacs Beach Boys Beetles Linkin Park Aerosmith Adema Olivia Newton Limp Bizkit John Kid Rock Monthly Crew R.E.M Ozzy Osborne Michael Jackson and those Who is Iconic Legendary and Peon Who is and are Deep like Me.
I love the Beach Boys and this is my personal favourite.
The Beach Boys showed us that the greatest musical instrument is the human voice.
This is the most under rated and under appreciated record by any group during that time period.
Adm712 totally agree :2019 still love this record one of the best the beach boys done. Was 12 when this was a big hit... still love it.
Such wonderful harmony these guys where so underrated.the wilson brothers had such a hard childhood and sadly as we all know sadness in later life.but this music showed what these musical geniuses could do rip carl and dennis.
I love The Beach Boys but these lyrics are beyond inane and the melody is far from Brian’s best.
Amen to that!

This is soo Beach Boys!
NOOOOOO KIDDING!
As a BB fan, I still can’t get over the fact that they can literally harmonize like a group of angels. It blows my mind away
They loved the four freshmen didnt they?
Wonder what would Pamela Anderson & Sable think about while listening to The Beach Boys
@@johntate5722 they did especially Brian The 4 Freshman were a huge inspiration for The Beach Boys
@@nataliarobinson9514 My Mom is a Beach Boys Fan still to this day
Thanks natalia. Four Freshmen were great vocal group. I love "day by day" by them
My favourite BB song since the day it was released!
Carl Dean Wilson!!! So beautiful 😍 and his voice OMG, I can’t ❤️🙏
Carl is so fab . His voice wow. Always missed. ❤
There’s another different promo for this song I’ve seen here on YT that features Mike Love looking like some twisted cult leader, in a huge white kaftan with that silly beard. Just ridiculous.
Sublime!.....my favourite Beach boys song.
The bass voice of Mike adds a dimension to it.
I think he sounds quite good here, actually. Sings better in lower registers than higher I think
Yes , my favourite part of the record .
Fifty years of my life is covered by a soundtrack by this band! x
63 years for me.
Anyone else miss Carl's bouncing?
steve
MTV of 1980’s 1990’s & Early 2000’s are better than Today’s
Brings back good memories
I love break away. Feel the vibrations and the sensation
Break away. I like that
Sitting here watching this.... my wife says.... ”you know who’s smarmy...?.... Mike Love!” My wife is hating on Love. :-)
You know, The Beatles wrote two songs about
Hateful Mikey.
Led Zep even wrote a song about him, in his
fat era. Whole Lotta Love.
steve
They have had a Battle Of The Bands before
we were there in the recording studio. great guys
Went straight out and bought it soon as it came out in the hot summer of 1969.. pure class.
This song only reached number 63 on the U.S. charts. For the life of me, I don't understand why it wasn't a huge hit here. Catchy and inventive from a recording perspective. It did better overseas though (#6 in the U.K.).
R.I.P Dennis Wilson & Carl Wilson

CO-WRITTEN BY CARL'S FATHER, MURRAY WILSON ❣️
Was that before or after he sold off all their publishing for $700K? It was worth hundreds of millions.
This was a great track, I have always enjoyed listening to it. Thanks for sharing it here.
Carl had the same aesthetic to his voice as Brian. Great song.
best song ever
The cherry on top...there were gems post-smile...this was one of them!11

Back in the 20's 30's 40's 50''s 60's 70''s 80's 90''s and early 2000's When the Earth was fully Classic i miss the old Days.
Madeline H. You are SPOT ON. NOT EVEN CLOSE. CARL IS FAR AND AWAY THE BEST MALE VOCALIST IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC, OR VOICES, OR HISTORY........
Carl Wilson is good R.I.P
Carl sings good on this one. Laid down on my bed with voices in my head sounds like my skitzo phrenia like Brian Wilson is.
Where can I find the full recording of this concert??
brilliant !!

He had a far better voice than Brian !
Both had great voices. Just listen to Brian's vocal preformance on "The Warmth of The Sun", "Surf's Up" or "Let Him Run Wild"...

Brian did. Alan, NAILED his Falsetto
in this song. So glad Matt can do as
well.
