Title: Is Van Dyke Parks singing backup on Wonderful?
Post by: Rocky Raccoon on March 02, 2012, 11:29:50 PM
When Brian starts to sing "She'll return in love with her liberty..." there's a voice singing some dadada's that I thought sounded a little bit like Van Dyke Parks.

Sounds more like Mike to me. Mainly 'cause it is.  :)

I think all of the vocals during the sessions are among the best they ever did, meaning among the best anyone everr did. The vocals from Today to Sunflower are almost all perfect.
