The Beach Boys - Forever |
Loveliness. And then there's more loveliness with the American Spring version, sung by Brian Wilson's wife at the time, Marilyn Rovell -
And finally, there's this version -
Remember during the Kokomo sessions, when one Beach Boy said to another, incredulously but resigned - "I mean, from Pet Sounds to this crap?"

Dennis Wilson, the least celebrated of them all...but oh, what a song.
though one shouldn't play the BB/D. Wilson against marvin gaye i regard marvin g.'s "forever" as slightly better.
quod est demonstrandum:

If that's Brian's wife what is brother Dennis doing with her in every picture?
Anonymous liked the Marvin Gaye/Marvelettes song better than Dennis Wilson's version.
Well Marvin's "Forever" is a completely different song and was released five years earlier.
I think I'd be more surprised if Dennis Wilson *wasn't* with someone else's wife...
The best Beach Boys song for me is God Only Knows. I usually hate adverts but I'm eternally grateful to the new Volkswagen one for allowing me to rediscover it.
