When Brian Wilson was at the top of his game. Just before the breakdown. Over 90 hours of recording tape was used to make this song. It was the most expensive ever made at that time and became the Beach Boys first million-selling single. It is ranked by Rolling Stone at the 6th greatest rock song ever. The song took months to record and produce and emerged as a stand alone single following the revolutionary Pet Sounds album which inspired Sgt Pepper by The Beatles. Wilson said when he wrote Pet Sounds that he was going to write the great rock album ever. Perhaps he did. Followed up by one of the greatest singles ever. A true genius. I love this old footage of him in the studio directing everything. youtube/watch?v=d8rd53WuojE
