Great song.
This is the first time I heard Jimmy Webb's version.

Some of these session musicians later formed their own group: TOTO. It's a star-studded array of backing singers.

The first time I heard this song was on the Beach Boys 25 Years Together special in 1986. Glen Campbell was singing it. Nice tune.

this song (like the album) is clearly underrated (!) - even in moments of crisis our hero shows his brilliant talent.
the transition where this turns into a Beach Boys song is another document of Webb's genius...
