Alex Chilton - I Wanna Pick You Up (The Beach Boys cover)

[DavidCKendall]

It spews real authentic innocence....could bring a tear! Very sweet.....

When was this recorded? Thanks for making my night!

This really shows Chilton's brilliance at covering great material. The original Beach Boy's version pales next to this beautiful lullabye.

@stereoshooter i'd caveat this with that if 1960's brian wilson did it, it would be a much better and different song.

Alex Chilton R.I.P.

One of the greatest thrills in my life in music was the day when my friends David Scott and Francis Macdonald and I got to record this track Alex. Alex was an incredible musician and singer and a real one of a kind as a guy. I have lots of happy and fun memories of Alex and we'll always have his music.

@duglast Just sent this to a dozen friends with how I cry every time listening because it's so wonderfully, out-there darling; written by Brian Wilson; and rendered by (short bio of Alex) who might be alive today if he hadn't avoided more immediate care due to lack of health insurance. Alex is one of my musical and personal heroes. Glad I ran across this--and your comment. Best always,
