Some of Your Love vs. The Cinderellas' It's a Wonderful Night

[TimeToGetAlone]

The chorus of Some of Your Love seems to have had a long history with other Beach Boys-related tracks (Child of Winter, Mike Come Back to L.A., and later Summer of Love).

I happened to stumble upon this 1964 cut where the resemblance seems quite apparent, complete with a slightly similar sax intro.

And the Beach Boy's track for comparison's sake:

Makes me wonder whether this is purely coincidence (the other elements of the song are distinct) or an intentional/unintentional borrowing on Brian's part.

[Wirestone]

Well spotted! Certainly seems like something Brian might have creatively adapted.

[Rocker]

Very good observation TimeToGetAlone! That was new to me. Brian and Mike were very much inspired by these R'n'B and Doo-Wop groups and you can find more cases of Brian using other songs to write his song around it. I love these kind of things and find them fascinating. Anyway, here are some examples that come to mind:


Buster Brown - Fannie Mae

I wouldn't be surprised if there is more, especially in Brian's output from '71 - '80 (and of course his unreleased songs) and the very early days but I'd have to research more.
