EDIT: While we're at it, this has to be heard to be believed. Take a minute or two please:
Fairfield Four - My God called me this morning
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z6fUDFpc44
Wow! That's really something...
It is, isn't it? I could imagine someone as keen on voices and harmony as Brian would flip for something like this. I mean how can't you? But I don't think he would try something like this himself. I'd guess he'd go more into the hymn direction. Speaking of hymns, I also think Brian might come up with an interesting version of "Nearer my God to thee".... such a beautiful song.

Blackwood Brothers- When God's Chariot Comes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysJ-kqGy3j8
Blackwood Brothers- Beyond The Sunset (
you might wanna make sure you get this album as well!
)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw6E3SrW0U8
My dad was (and is) a huge Blackwood Brothers fan (and gospel fan, and vocal harmony fan in general). I still really like hearing them. Please don't take offense at the admitted stereotyping here, but to me, listening to "When God's Chariot Comes" is kind of funny in that the piano feels like legitimate black gospel piano, while the vocal sounds so, so white. But it's just a comment, not an insult. What a group of singers.
What should be offensive about a white group sounding white? Everything's fine...
Interestingly, the exchange between "white" and "black" music was always happening in blues, country and - especially - gospel music. Many people seem to think it only started with Rock'n'Roll. But R'n'R was in fact a very natural progression of what happened before.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Oh I totally agree with you (on all counts). Just prefacing my statement because sometimes people are very, very quick to find anything that even uses a descriptor in any way (whether cultural, gender, etc.) as offensive.

Have none of you listened to
Battle Hymn of the Republic
?
Let Brian leave church hymns out of his repertoire!

I'm not sure if Brian is the church-going type, but I wonder that if he were and there were instruments there, if he'd have the urge to bolt out of the pew and sit in on keyboard...

I know, right? I always wondered who Brian was thanking. Was it God almighty, an ex-boyfriend, who knows?

Here are the lyrics as transcribed in mid 2011 by Jason Penick:
"Think
Think about the loveliest thing
Think about a song we all sing
Think about our love (Ooh ooh ooh)
"Try
Try to find a happier joy
Sweeter than a girl and a boy
Sweeter than our love
"Nicer than a garden of beautiful flowers (wooh ooh ooh)
Deeper than the ocean you watch by the hours
"Marvel
Marvel at this feeling we share
Thank him for a beauty so rare
Thank him for our love"

Those are some pretty good lyrics! Who wrote them? Brian? Mike? Roger Christian?
I said it 2012 that if the Beach Boys should go back to rework old compositions for their new album, they should look at stuff like Thank Him.

He'd be directing the choir.

According to Andrew, it's a Brian--Bob Norberg composition:
http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,9202.msg157413.html#msg157413
But
The Big Beat
comp (and
Uncut
) states that it's Brian alone...
According to this site (
https://www.discogs.com/Katerine-Mon-C
œur-Balance/release/1959884) Bob Norberg wrote the lyrics to "Your Summer Dream" and Brian the music (where did they get
that
information?).
Getting back to "Thank Him", I guess we'll never know who wrote what. Did I read somewhere (here?) that it's Brian and Bob harmonizing?

Oh Man, Petra. That brings back some memories! Their album covers were kind of like a Christian version of Boston. Their sound was even similar to Boston.

Or Kansas when Greg X Voltz was the singer

I guess I should have watched your video post first since it was also in the Greg X Voltz era. I really think they were a lot better under Voltz than Schlitt
