Brian appears to be digging the collaboration by the sound of his vocal and they both harmonize well. Shame ITunes or Wilson & co. has to blackmail fans who already bought TLOS elsewhere into buying the LP again to get this one track.
This is yet another one of those legendary great songs from the best rock music era of all-time, the mid 60s .. and it's made to order for a fabulous re-work such as this one, by the greatest-ever composer / muso / producer / falsetto-singer of the 20th Century .. bar none .. OUR magical BW. I'd love to see more duo work by BW & the great Carole King .. herself a legendary songwriter of the first-order.
The fact that Carole King wrote the melodies to ALL those wonderful songs in the 60s, in my book, makes her one of the sexiest women of the century. Look her up. Look at all the hits she wrote. It'll just blow you away :)
"I'm into Something Good" is a song composed by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and made famous by Herman's Hermits. The song was originally recorded by Cookies member Earl-Jean McCrea in 1964 and reached number 38 on the US pop singles chart. Soon thereafter, Herman's Hermits remade it as their debut single
The Beach Boys represent their generation on many levels( I didn't say ALL). The naivete, youth,rebellion,sex drugs, rock and roll, meditation, parental angst, death and triumph over loss is like a made for TV movie ,but drama and comedy is real. If I was to remind people about the Beach Boys,- Hey- let's have FUN<FUN<FUN!
@thatsthewayitgoes08 You can say that again. He showed the silly fun troupe around Mike Love what a real Beach Boy is! As you guys know, Love toured around with a sort of Beach Boys copycat but could never achieve the respect he got when Wilson and him were still teaming up in the band.
@pianoman74 Accurately, Mike Love won the use of the name "Beach Boys" after taking Brian to court for lost royalties, and songwriting credit on many of the songs he did acutally provide lyrics. As to Love's claim to have provided lyrics for Pet Sounds, the Pet Sound lyricist had this to say in open court: "The only lyrical contribution Mike Love made to Pet Sounds was one "ooh wah," and two "dooby doobies."
@phddddd Who'd wonder? Not me. For that's JUST LIKE HIM! Taking his old band mate to court to milk the cash cow even more! Well, I never respected Love much...(btw your last sentence beats it, LOL)
I'd like to note that Brian sounds great here as usual but I can hear autotune on Carol Kings vocals. Listen when she sings 'gooooood.' you can hear the autotune. weird
Get "that Lucky Old Sun" at Best Buy; they have the version with three bonus tracks of which this is one. (Barnes and Noble has the CD with bonus DVD.)
So cool! I love this song and always thought it was Beach Boys influnced in terms of the double tracked lead vocal, harmonies and style of production. Only fair that Brian takes a shot at it.

No, Carole King and her husband wrote this in the 60's. The big hit of it was by Herman's Hermits.

Herman's Hermits didn't record the original version of this song. It was first performed by American girl group The Cookies.
