Title: Just discovered the Carl-sung Christopher Cross tune "Baby Says No" Post by: CenturyDeprived on August 09, 2018, 03:55:49 PM Man, just when I thought I'd heard just about all the really good Beach Boys-related music out there, I come across this gem.
Not only does Christopher Cross totally nail a killer Carl-like lead vocal on this 1983 tune, but Carl himself also sings backing vocals all over it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB2lcBETro8 Does anyone have any interesting Carl-related trivia about this tune to share? Anyone who's a fan of Carl's singing (I'd assume that'd be everyone on this board) should do themselves a favor and give this a listen.

I got exposed to "Baby Says No" by a former housemate decades ago who was a Christopher Cross fan.

Pre-internet, it was fun discovering stuff like that sometimes without any hint that there'd be a surprise waiting for the listener inside the LP.

His voice was instantly recognizable. I quickly went to the liner notes to check though. |
