Did Al Jardine ever sing falsetto?

We all know Al and Brian's normal singing voices were very similar (as evidenced in, for example, I Know There's An Answer, in which I only recently realised it was Al and Mike singing lead, as opposed to Brian and Mike) and Al covered Brian's bits on stages, but did he ever sing falsetto on record? Apart from a few falsettos from Bruce and in later years Carl, it was mainly all Brian, but did Al do any? Was it in his range?

In concert, in the 1970's, Al and Carl use to switch off the falsetto parts. Don't know if Al really sang falsetto, but he sang Brian's high parts and they sounded fine. "Don't Worry Baby" was a good example of when they would switch off doing the lead vocal. Sometimes they'd sing the high parts in unison, but most of the time they shared the leads of the songs with high parts. "You Still Believe In Me" was another example of Al singing Brian's high part live in the 70's.
It was uncanny how at times Brian and Al sounded alike on some of the recordings. "Breakaway" and "Back Home" 1970 are good examples of this.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Doesn't Al do the Barbara Ann falsetto on the Kenbworth recording?

"Loop de Loop," too, right? Isn't part of the original recording Al doing a Brian imitation?

I think they all do lead on that one, don't they?

I remember seeing a film clip on The Midnight Special in 1977 or 1978; it was the segment with Carl Wilson being interviewed by Wolfman Jack, and they showed a short clip of the band performing "Susie Cincinnati" with Al singing a high falsetto part on the tag.

Caroline No and Don't Worry Baby live. Carl & Al shared the high part on Fun, Fun, Fun, especially the tag. Also I Get Around.

In the late bridge section of I Can Hear Music, you clearly hear him in falsetto (though buried) singing 'music, music'
Also in the outro of Come Go With Me you hear Carl sing falsetto faintly in the distance.
Falsetto is also used in Where I Belong
surprised how little Carl falsetto there is despite him being good at it...I was surprised that I had to recall faints snippets in order to find some.

Al sang a majority of the high parts from 1965-1980. See In Concert or Knebworth.

It's not a Beach Boys' recording, but Carl pops up on Spring's "Forever" and sings some very high "na na's". He does the same on SIP's "Forever". I'm not sure if that reaches the level of falsetto...

You sure that's not Al doing the fade falsetto on "Come Go With Me"? And Al sang the "California Girls" falsetto live for a long time (witness the '76 "It's OK" special).

It's Brian doing falsetto on Where I Belong, I think. Other examples of Carl doing falsetto are Good Timin' and Hot Fun in the Summertime

I beg to differ. You're forgetting Glen Campbell (briefly) in '65 and then Bruce sang high parts from '65 to '72. Al and Carl from '72 to '80, then Adrian Baker briefly then Foskett took over.

He fooled Davide Leaf a couple of times on the liner notes for the Capitol two-fers. Leaf had Brian singing all but the obvious Mike lines on "I Know There's an Answer" and had Brian singing the verses on Be Here in the Morning."

He goes up into Falsetto all over his live versions of "Wouldn't it be Nice" doesn't he? He used to fucking KILL that song live in the 70's.

The falsetto on "Hot Fun" is Adrian Baker. Maybe Carl reaches falsetto on a word or two, I can't remember.

They opened with that and Al sang it - yep.
