@LittleBlackDress06 Well...you may not be the ONLY one, but I would say you are in a small group. At least among the folks who dig this song. I think it's a dang good cover.
@hrothgar I'm a professional musician and have to say this - he goes off key at times and his voice seems very shaky. I think it's a good cover, but compared to Darius, who is a powerhouse, there is no comparison.
@LittleBlackDress06 No worries, just yanking your chain :-) I've actually listened to many versions of this song, including Beach Boys live AND Blondie Chaplin (solo), and Sean Lennon, and no-one sings this song well live. A shame because it is one of my top 3 Beach Boys songs. Cheers!
@LittleBlackDress06 Check out The Warmth of the Sun by Vince Gill (here on YouTube)...one of my favourite BB covers, brilliant...I get goosebumps listening to his version.
What really happen to Brian Wilson? Was it drugs, mental illness, his father, his shrink, his fame? I guess only Brian Wilson knows because nobody else has a clue and he has never dicussed it with anybody in the media to my knowledge................
Thanks for posting this version of the great Beach Boys classic. The sheet music for the original piano part on "Sail On Sailor" can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm - a note-for-note transcription.
@ssiknick83 you are correct that Brian doesn't like the song. Saw him in concert about a year ago and flat out said he doesn't like singing the song. Really bummed me out since it was the one song I wanted to hear.
This is prob one of the most under-rated Beach Boys songs they ever did. And obviously one of the very best. Brian is a genius and if it wasn't for his a-hole father, God only knows where he could have gone further. He had his 'soul' beat out of him by that bastard-both literally and figuratively.
Thank you Duburcur for this upload I have been searching for a long time. Rucker and Sweet knock "Sail On Sailor" out of the park and I always stop and listen to it every time I go to my favorits on YouTube.......................................
@heli0tr0pe Absolutely the most underrated song of the 70's. And so it comes to show that so called pop/rock/music journalists have no idea at all in the long run.
There was another cover of this song here on Youtube that has been removed. Was Ray Charles singing it backed up by the Beach Boys. It was GREAT! This is just such a cool song.
interestingly enough, brian has said he doesn't like the song lol and apparently didn't contribute at all in the final verson BUT did come up with the main melody.
Damn man everyone was groovin hard for the last minute, that's what music is all about :)
