Title: The harmonies on the coda to 1971's Surf's Up
Post by: Joel Goldenberg on January 22, 2016, 11:10:25 AM
The harmonies behind Al's singing on the Child is Father to the Man part of the song are the best I've heard in Beach Boys history. I think I read somewhere here or elsewhere that Marilyn Wilson was part of the harmony stack. Was the whole group (including Brian) a part of the stack as a whole?

I'd love to hear those harmonies isolated, as the Breakaway ones were done for a loop.

Couple of pages here that might help. Or check out "The Stephen Desper Thread" in our "Ask the Honored Guests" section----if anyone has any info on this, it's SWD.
