Not too long ago there was talk about the Beach Boys' version of "Blueberry hill". This brought me to the question if Brian ever mentioned any Fats-influence on his productions or songwriting. Brian's horn-sounds sometimes remind me of Fats'. Anyone got any ideas?

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.

I always felt that Brian's piano style is similar to the way Fats kinda pounds the keys almost staccato-like as in Walkin' To New Orleans. Brian doesn't hit the keys as hard.

Yeah, kinda true. But it might come from the Rock'n'Roll-style and maybe not directly from Fats. Anyway "Soul searchin" has Fats Domino written all over it.
