Sad news indeed. But unlike you, and with all due respect, I'm gonna bust out a YouTube upload of this:

Rest in peace, Ms Gerron.

Folks, this must be in General Music Discussion. Moderators, move it to it.

Right. The very 1st thing I thought about when hearing the news was Al Jardine singing Peggy Sue.
Then I went and listened to the song yesterday on Spotify on my ride home from work.
A great version of the song it is.

Then I listened to Sweet Sunday Kind of Love, Bells of Paris, and Matchpoint of Our Love... Matchpoint is such a rad little disco/yacht rock tune, I friggin' love it, cheeseball lyrics or not. Carl slays on Sweet Sunday. Bells of Paris ain't too shabby either, again despite the hokey lyrics. I wish Mike had done more laid back and not forced-sounding mid/late period vocal leads like this one.

I wonder if the idea to cover Peggy Sue originated in the 15 Big Ones era?

I should add... how many songs in the Beach Boys cannon have song titles based on real people? Off the top of my head, Caroline No, Marilyn Rovell, My Diane, Judy (?), and probably a few others I can't recall.  Peggy might be one of the 1st Beach Boys song title namesakes to have left us  Cry

Yep - and not only the idea, but also the recording.

P.S., agree with your sentiments on the other MIU cuts you mention.

How many Beach Boys songs whether covers or originals were based on real people? This, Susie Cincinnati, Lady Linda, Marcella, and Johnny Carson are the ones I can think of

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story
