Title: Bruce on "I'll Bet He's Nice"?
Post by: Giggens on December 20, 2013, 09:02:33 PM
Hey all, longtime Beach Boys fan...first time poster, you know the drill!

This may have already been discussed before, but is that Bruce at the end of "I'll Be He's Nice"?  "Well it's youuuuuuuuu, youuuu"

I know he was on that album somewhere briefly, as I've read somewhere before, but is that his spot?  Sure sounds like him!

Thanks!

Yup, that's Bruce on the tag of "IBHN".

Don't think he's on "The Night Was So Young", though.

Never noticed it, but I hear it now. That's really cool!

I've always thought it was a touch of genius from Brian (or Carl) to call Bruce to deliver that exect line. No-one else could have added that necessary amount of heartfelt syrup. A nice touch, however minor. They may have blown their career many times with incredibly stupid decisions, but they really had that music making thing down pat, right down to the smallest details.

I always heard it said that Bruce was involved in some way in every studio album during his hiatus, but I didn't know what his involvement was on Love You till now...great observation! It totally sounds like him, I just never noticed!

There's a cool photo of Dennis, Brian and Bruce around the microphone at Brother Studios that I've always thought has to be from the "I'll Bet He's Nice" vocal session...it was published in the final issue of David Leaf's "Pet Sounds" fanzine, which can be seen in a scan located here (about 3/4 or more down):

The caption dates the photo to December 1977, but I really think it should read December 1976, which would date it nicely to the "Love You" sessions.

Those fanzines looked cool!  Glad I could blow some minds by hearing Bruce on there :)
