Brian's Song

 

On what would have been Brian Wilson's 83 birthday, I present to you a stunning version of a stunning song. From their fantastic 1999 release "Duo," here are Charlie Hunter and Leon Parker and their take on the "Pet Sounds" gem "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder.)"

I've shared this song a number of times before and I may keep sharing it until you all love it as much as I do.

Happy Birthday Brian.

    Well that was...interesting. 😎 Seriously -- the song itself is so harmonically complex I'm not sure it works without vocals, but that's just me; obviously, your mileage may vary.

    I love hearing this. It's as if they're paying their respects to this 'gem', as you aptly put it. One of my favorite Beach Boys songs....

    I've become a big Charlie Hunter fan thanks to you.

    This is the kind of song you need to listen to with a cocktail in your hand and the lights down loooowwww.
