Billy: “[Brian] took Rock music where it needed to go and by fusing disparate elements of Jazz, Rock and musical harmony, he forged music that is timeless in its beauty.” Brian: “I like the song ‘Eyes Without a Face.’ Love that song.” @billyidol #rock #jazz #harmony #lovethatsong

45 years ago today, The Beach Boys released “Good Timin’”, the second single from their 1979 album L.A. (Light Albums). It’s one of the few songs credited to both Brian and Carl. The song reached the top 40 on the singles chart and No. 12 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Brian played piano, harpsichord and organ on the track. Side B was Dennis’ “Love Surrounds Me,” featuring backing vocals by Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie. #1979 @thebeachboys #goodtiming #lovesurroundsme

Circa 2003: Brian talks about songwriting as he plays his own “Saturday Morning in the City.” #songwriting #saturdaymorninginthecity
Brian talks about a favorite Beach Boys track of his, Al Jardine’s “California Saga/California.” Said Al: “We came down to the studio to do a mix-down so [Brian] could get home. Then suddenly, [he] came in and said, ‘Give me a microphone.’ He walked straight in. I hadn’t seen him for a month. He walked up to the microphone and started singing, ‘I’m on my way to sunny Califon-i-a.’ He then left the microphone and walked out.” @thebeachboys @aljardine409 #1973 #california

“Glen was a great singer and a great guy. Our intention in doing ‘Strong’ was to echo back to ‘Guess I’m Dumb’ and the times that Glen and I worked together. It’s kinda got that vibe to it and I dig the sound of it.” – Brian ‘Glen Campbell Duets: Ghost On The Canvas Sessions’ is out now – Link in Bio. @glencampbellofficial #strong
