The Smiley Smile Message Board

Songs by artists other than other beach boys.

Wishin' you Were Here (Chicago)- I think Al, Dennis and Carl did backing vocals
Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me- Bruce and Carl

"Vaea (Vy-Ya)" - King Harvest (Mike & Carl)
"Nature Is The Law" - Richard Ashcroft (Brian)
"Adios" - Linda Ronstadt (Brian)
"TM" - Charles Lloyd (Carl, Mike & Alan)
"Help Me, Rhonda" - Johnny Rivers (Brian)
"Delirious Love" - Neil Diamond (Brian)
"Red Lake" - Lake (Carl)
"Good Music" - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts (Carl, Mike & Alan)
"Winter Wonderland" - Collin Raye (Brian, Carl, Mike & Alan)

I always forget how enjoyable this recording is

"Delirious Love" and "Good Music" is on the top of my list. Didn't know you liked Joan Jett, Andrew?

All Life Is One Charles Lloyd-Brian and Mike for sure, Al and Carl might be there I forgot.
I like the lions share of The Honey's and Spring cuts Brian sings on. Forever has great Carl and Brian vocals.
Most of the other Brian productions that he sings on from 62-72 are good. The Sharon Marie songs are pretty nice.
I like Don't You Just Know It by Brian and Jan. Again most of the stuff he and the others cut with them is really good.
I have a soft spot for Monkey's Uncle.
Wishin You Were Here and Don't Let The Sun aren't by artists I really dig but I do like the Beach Boys work on them.

Me too - it's pretty much classic BB, Mike down low, Brian on top, everyone else where they should be, and doing a fine job.

I recently listened to it on a comp someone made called Endless Christmas, (containing BW/BB/ML Christmas tunes with Wendy/Carnie and Jeff Foskett tracks).  It has that track White Christmas Brian performed on his website, it's so good and underrated.

That's one mostly perfect Beach Boys track from the 90s, how many more to go?

2 of my fav's:

Anton Fig - Hand On My Shoulder (with Blondie Chaplin and Brian Wilson)
The Wilsons - Monday Without You (with Brian)

Yes indeed, Carnie and Wendy's "Hey Santa," with backing vocals by Uncle Carl, is one of my favorite Christmas tracks.

Monday Without You is a little too generic adult contemporary-ish for me...but the video for that song is :thumbsup  :banana :banana                  Wendy!!!

I have to admit I like DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME  and CHAMELEON by Elton John  and DESPERADOES UNDER THE EAVES by Warren Zevon. Those have always been up there for me as well.  ;D

Wishing You Were Here (if only it was a DW lead) - Chicago
Adios _ Ronstadt
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - Elton
The four Charles Lloyd songs
Delirious Love - Diamond
But I like lots of the others too - the singing on Winter Wonderland is great!

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - Elton John
Since God Invented Girls - Elton John
Wishing You Were Here - Chicago
All Life Is One - Charles Lloyd
The Show Must Go On - Pink Floyd

Many others are enjoyable too, but these are the ones that came to mind immediately.

Carl on David Lee Roth's California Girls.

Never heard "Winter Wonderland". Where can I find the correct version?

On a Collin Raye album from 1996,  Christmas - The Gift

Thanks! I think I'm going to buy the individual song at Amazon then.

was it recorded during the Stars and Stripes sessions or is it just placed with those sessions on rarities packages?

Well, suggest you check out the sessions list for Stars & Stripes to answer that one.  :)
