Sad news indeed. But unlike you, and with all due respect, I'm gonna bust out a YouTube upload of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3v-drwJoK8 Rest in peace, Ms Gerron.

"Peggy Sue" is a Beach Boys song too... ::) Title: Re: RIP the real Peggy Sue :( Post by: CenturyDeprived on October 02, 2018, 04:10:16 PM Folks, this must be in General Music Discussion. Moderators, move it to it. How about no? "Peggy Sue" is a Beach Boys song too... ::) 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 :'( Title: Re: RIP the real Peggy Sue :( Post by: tpesky on October 02, 2018, 04:30:19 PM Lady Lynda

Yep - and not only the idea, but also the recording. P.S., agree with your sentiments on the other MIU cuts you mention.
