Can we take a consensus -everyone reading this, listen to it three times and tell us what you think. Is it Carl or a soft-spoken Brian?
I have just finished listening to it 3 times and I still say its a soft spoken Brian.. It fits with the tone of how he sings the song. Its Brian. Brian. Brian. Brian.

What do you mean, "Oh, we could be married"? That's not Mike, it's Brian echoed by Alan isn't it?
yes, im sorry, I should have said someone is echoing Brian's lines. Al, huh? Does someone know for sure? To me it sounds like it could be Al, Dennis or Carl
Yeah, I've listened to it about twenty times and I'm pretty sure it's Al. The first line - the "married" line in particular definitely sounds like Al's early voice to me.

Well, I wouldn't argue if you put it down as Al. The only reason I would think otherwise is the way "happy" is sung sounds very Dennis-y to me.

Ha, my wife (and second opinion) thought it was very Carl-like.
I think they have similar voices, but I'm pretty sure it's Al.

Wouldn't It Be Nice- no clue
Please Let Me Wonder- Definitely Carl, without a doubt Carl, you can tell especially on the Warmth of the Sun! He had a certain way of phrasing R's and L's, and its obvious on I Love You. If you have ever heard Carl speak especially from the 60's, it is him all over.

I have an idea...given the similarity of the problem identifying individual vocals with another trio of brothers, let's attribute any unidentified vocals to Maurice Gibb!

Until I heard that line isolated, I would have said Carl, but now I lean towards Brian.
As for WIBN, I think its Al echoing Brian in the bridge. I suppose it might be Dennis, but I'm going with Al.

I used to think it was Carl, until I half-heard it while surfing the net. I thought "Hey, that MIGHT be Brian!"
I rewound it back a few times, and became convinced. I think because it's so soft, you'd think Carl, because we're thinking of stuff like the contrast between the soft lead on GOK compared with the brasher sound of Brian. But like someone else said, it's a pretty soft vocal all round. And I'm pretty sure it's Brian.
And I'm almost certain that it's Al on WIBN. I'll add that soonest.

I think its like how every one assumes Paul sings the high part on "I wanna hold your
haaaaaaand
" at the end of each verse when its actually John.

PLMW; it's gotta be Carl, always has been, always will be. Of course I'm still trying to come to terms with it being Al on Be Here in the Morning.

Why would Brian let Carl sing "I love you" on a song that is otherwise sung by himself (w/ Mike on parts) and is written about his wife and sung and recorded in her presence? (according to Brian on the WOTS-podcast). It wouldn't make sense.
To my ears... it sounds like Carl.
Back to the discussion of Wouldn't it be nice; I agree Dennis is prominent on the tag. But, according to Brian (I think I read this in the book in The Pet Sounds session box), Dennis and Alan sing "run-run", followed by Carl and Bruce doing "wee-doo". I'm not at home, so I can't look it up.

I guess we can always go back. But I still think it's Brian.
Four to three for Brian by my count.

I hear a couple of differences in regards to Wind Chimes
Quote from: John on July 08, 2007, 08:42:07 AM
Dennis:
Close your eyes and lean back
Listen to wind chimes
I hear Brian singing "close your eyes and lean back" before Dennis comes in
Quote from: John on July 08, 2007, 08:42:07 AM
Carl:
It's so peaceful
Close to a lullabye
this sounds like Al to me

Nah, that sounds like Dennis to me. It's got the same vibe as some of his talking on the Party album. The speaking voices are very similar at this point...

I'll listen to this again. EDIT: Still sounds like Carl. I can see what you mean, but I'm pretty sure it's Carl. As ever, I'll throw it out to the floor!

I'm following the "logic" of the arrangement as well as my ears in terms of forming my opinion. Why would they give Dennis an entire line like that when all of the others are split up? And it seems that Al would get the end of the second verse since he handled the end of the first verse, just like how he sings all of the first answering "wind chimes" by himself. Anyway, that's my two cents . . .

I don't think there
is
a logic to the arrangement so much. The Beatles were doing experiments with "random" at the same time too. Judging by how stoned they sound, their "logic" may make sense to them and them only.
Logic and Smiley don't really go together - I mean, what's with the girls on Wonderful there and there only?
Maybe they gave Dennis the whole line because he'd not been singing much "recently"?

I fear that your "drug" argument fails to sway me in regards to the "Wind Chimes" vocal arrangement.
I continue to cling steadfastly to the notion of accuracy in terms of my opinion. In other words, I respectfully disagree, sir!
Yes, let us now turn the floor over to Democracy . . .

HAHAHA!
EDIT: After listening to that bit, there's a Al feel to it at the end, but "It's so peaceful..." really sounds like Carl.
I still think that other bit is Dennis, though there's a chance it could be Brian, it just sounds so much like Dennis. I'm just hedging my bets really.
