Do You Wanna Dance...I always loved that song.


This is how it sounded at parties in 1965...

It sounds like Dennis had fun singing lead vocal on that.  I liked his voice and wish he had more lead vocals during that period.

He got a fair amount of lead vocals in the late 60s and early 70s. Although he was never the best singer technically, and was usually excluded from singing harmonies with the group, he had a really cool voice. Very raw and very gentle at the same time.

Dennis Wilson - Thoughts of You


That album was re-released in 2008, with a bonus disc that includes his unreleased second album 'Bambu'. Highly recommended.

My best moment ever as a record collector was when I found my original copy of 'Pacific Ocean Blue'. I'd been searching for it for years, it usually went for about $100, and I was willing to spend that much for it. One day I was at a very small, dissapointing record fair when I saw someone with that record in his hands. I heard him say that it wasn't really what he was looking for, because he was looking for records by Brian Wilson, not Dennis. So I asked him if I could have that Dennis Wilson record. He just said, "OK, but be quick, before I change my mind." I got it for 7,50. :)

Some Beach Boys news:

- Al Jardine will be performing live with Mike Love and Bruce Johnston this Saturday for a Ronald Reagan tribute. This will be the first time since 1998 that founding members Al Jardine and Mike Love will be on a stage together. Brian Wilson has also been invited, but chances that he'll show up are apparently small.

- Unreleased Beach Boys songs that had been on YouTube for ages have now been taken down by the band's lawyers. Unreleased songs that sounded very muddy on every bootleg on which they appeared are all of a sudden appearing online with near-master sound quality. Lots of previously unseen live videos are all of a sudden "found", which means that people appear to be going through archives. These are all signs that we finally might get some previously unreleased material again... I really hope so, cause there's still so much excellent stuff in the vaults. Hundreds of songs, literally.

Yes, Joost and thank you for the heads up.  Their appearance on “A Concert for America: A Tribute to Ronald Reagan,” will be shown in a live webcast on Saturday February 5, 2011 7-9 PST on The Ronald Reagan Foundation Website:    http://www.reaganfoundation.org/live-webcasts.aspx

I think he threw in bits of The Watusi often, Bobber.

Here's how it's done...

I had never heard of the Wahtusi until I listened to the lyrics of Revolution #9.
