It's funny..THIS version is nowhere near as good as the original recording from the "The Higher They Climb..."; everything on both this version and original album version is identical except the vocals...David must have recut them but why I can't imagine..
btw..the ORIGINAL version does exist for sure on CD (albeit in an edited form) on a David Cassidy and Partridge Family Greatest Hits CD (One Of Many) that's an import- I believe it was a UK issue..check that out
In the seventies, when my contemporaries were Donny and David Cassidy mad, I was into prog rock. However, this song is an excellent cover. Thanks for posting on YouTube.
David Cassidy's version is pretty good but it will never be as good as the version sung by the late great Carl Wilson. Carl had one of the greatest voices of all time and his voice, talent and spirit will be missed a great deal in this world. Carl's legacy will out live us all,
I never knew David to sing this remake of a Beachboys classic.. I did know David had a hit with Cherish, a remake of a #1 hit by the Association. It most likely was a song from one of his many albums. It dosen't sound like the background vocals are those of Mrs Partridge and the Partridge Family, anyway I do like the sound of those background vocalists. Thx4 postin', "I'll be Back!"
Oh, my goodness. Not my favourite song of his but the pic of him at :21 in the blue shirt? Me likey. A lot. Where did you get it, SumerKis? I can't believe how much these old pics still affect me. The term babe magnet was coined for him.
This is a great song, but I like the original album version better (his vocals are a bit different, less like the Beach Boys recording--more of his own Cassidy phrasing; I think this is the single version that was later substituted on subsequent pressings of THE HIGHER THEY CLIMB). Very cool!
Eu não canço de olhar pro rosto de DAVID, ele era LINDO, uma perfeição da natureza!!! Somos DEUSES, prefiro pensar DEUS assim como o rosto de DAVID, que ainda hoje é lindo!!! Obrigada pelas fotos!!!
Made it to #1 in South Africa in early '76!

He sings it better than Carl Wilson that's for sure, but apparently Bruce didn't know how to produce harmony vocals...

I never liked this singer for teens with his strained voice. The Beach Boys magic is slaugthered here.

Are you guys talking about another version by Cassidy or the beach boys? I have several versions of Cassidy's.

How many versions did David do of this song? Did you post others? Didn't think I liked it but I'm warming up to it :)

ye you are so right - the other version is much more raunchy, his voice seems to have more power, slightly rougher !
