Bruce sent over a great pic from the mid-70's of him with the songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil as well as Captain & Tennille.  Talk about all the hit records between all of them!  http://rockabillynblues.blogspot.com/2013/01/unpublished-photo-from-bruce-johnston.html

Always with the white shorts, then!  Funny, with all of those folks he would invite his sister to be in the pic

A little hard to make out but it looks like Daryl is wearing a headband instead of his customary cap. It may be some of them were out playing tennis. (A lot of people in the '70s thought he always had the cap on onstage to hide a balding pate, but this was not the case.)

That picture looks like a parody done by the "Yacht Rock" video guys, especially the Cap'n and his headband.

Toni looks healthy!

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

From left to right:  Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Daryl Dragon, Harriet Johnston, Bruce Johnston, Toni Tennille.  Photo courtesy of the Bruce Johnston Photo Archives.

Didn't know all the names of the Beach Boys' wives before, Bgas?  Guess you didn't read all those magazine articles with pictures in them that you have in your collection. I would have thought you'd known the name of Bruce's wife by now.  Guess not.

Thanks for the pic RockabillyNBlues!

Just a quick note about the text:

Quote
His "Disney Girls" has also been covered by The Beach Boys, Art Garfunkel, Cass Elliott, Jack Jones, Doris Day and others including Captain & Tennille as well.


The Beach Boys didn't cover "Disney girls (1957)". They did the original version.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys


PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.
