Title: Vocals on "Here Comes The Night" (1967) Post by: Glenn Greenberg on October 17, 2006, 01:55:39 PM I've been listening to "Here Comes The Night" today, and it reminded me of a friendly disagreement I had with Andrew G. Doe a few months back, about who is singing lead on the song.
AGD said it was Carl, I said it was Brian. After listening to the song today, over and over, I think I might have an answer: I'm 99.9% sure that Brian sings the first verse I think it MIGHT be Carl singing the second verse And I'm 99.9% positive it's Brian singing the third verse Anyone want to weigh in on this?

Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: pianoman on October 17, 2006, 02:55:29 PM I've listened to that song as well as vocals-only track, and I think it's clearly Brian.
Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: MBE on October 17, 2006, 03:39:16 PM It's Brian for sure
Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: southbay on October 17, 2006, 04:03:07 PM It is absolutely Carl
Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: Compost on October 17, 2006, 05:16:38 PM Totally Brian.
Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: RONDEMON on October 17, 2006, 09:55:27 PM BW is the lead
Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: Zander on October 18, 2006, 12:21:03 AM I think it's obvious that Brian sang the 1967 version. You only have to listen to the tone of Carl's voice in the LA Album version to see that.
I haven't got it to hand but who does Brad Elliots "Surf's Up!" book say it is...? Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: MBE on October 18, 2006, 04:19:56 AM Surf's Up says Brian too as does the 2fer's.
Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: Rocker on October 18, 2006, 04:56:44 AM Definitley Brian.
And because "What'd I say" gets the same question quite often, that is Carl singing lead. Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: Andrew G. Doe on October 18, 2006, 04:58:01 AM I have no f****** idea. Possibly Alan. ;)
Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: pianoman on October 21, 2006, 07:13:36 PM I also have one lead vocal question:
Isn't that Carl sharing lead vocals with Mike during the verses in "A Thing Or Two"? I know, everywhere it says it's Brian, but I've been listening to that song today, and I am almost sure it is Carl. Am I wrong on this? Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: MBE on October 22, 2006, 01:32:35 PM Brian's doing the high bits and the keep on till then part. Carl does Lucky I'm workin from 9 to 5. Mike the rest

Mike the rest Thanks for clearing that up. :)Title: Re: Vocals on Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on October 23, 2006, 10:41:33 PM Wild Honey is also a song that the 2fer says Brian sings, but I'm pretty sure its Carl. At times it sounds like Brian though. Maybe they share the lead on that one too.
Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: MBE on October 24, 2006, 01:31:30 AM Wild Honey is Carl. I think with Brian you hear a little more of resonance. He just has a little extra to him that Carl matched in passion (no pun) but not in charisma.

Title: Re: Vocals on \ Post by: John on October 24, 2006, 09:52:50 AM Wild Honey is definitely Carl.
And hey! long time lurker, joined because I'm much more interested in vocal and instrument credits than the "scandal" stuff. So much so I'm the fool who spent about five hours changing the vocal credits at the Boys' wikipedia entry. ;D ;) Title: Re: Vocals on Post by: Jonas on October 24, 2006, 09:56:17 AM Wild Honey is definitely Carl.

Yeah, some of them were way off, now hopefully they're only a little off. :-D

Carl definitely on lead, Brian definitely on the "Sweet, sweet, honey bee, eat it, eat it, eat it up honey" background vocals. |
