Just found this on youtube.  It's a tribute by the scottish singer/songwriter  Chris Rainbow.

Chris Rainbow (Birth name is Chris Harley, born in Glasgow UK Nov. 18, 1946.) "Dear Brian" was simply "A Tribute song to Brian". Chris is a Scottish singer/songwriter much influenced by the Beach Boys.Chris sang lead for "The Alan Parsons Project". In 1974, he had embarked on a solo career. "Looking Over My Shoulder" and "Home of the Brave" were his first albums. Five singles followed: "Living in the World Today," "All Night," "Mr. Man," "Give Me What I Cry For," and "Solid State Brain."

The music is very nice and there are lots of rare pics of Brian to be seen.

I remember the song as one of the best BW pastiches of the 1970s (1978?). I think it came from the MIU sort of era.

On BBC TV last night Elton John, on brilliant form particularly on the piano, played some songs from his new album at a small London theatre. One was a great song called 'Postcards from Richard Nixon' (!) which featured a line about he and his pals looking for 'Brian Wilson's promised land'.
