He sang, played bass, wrote songs, arranged, and produced. <i>Pet Sounds</i> (a 1966 Beach Boys album) and <i>SMiLE</i> (an unfinished BB album, finally finished as a BW album in 2004) are generally considered BW’s greatest accomplishments.

I don't know his significance, and although I did read at least 3 or 4 things about him, I still have only a sketchy idea that he wrote (or performed, or both) popular music. But on the plus side: I know I don't know anything about him. And I am too polite to say whether I regard this as a serious deficit.<br /><br />Tsk.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195458656221202202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-90622436778651315072010-06-21T21:49:08.386-05:002010-06-21T21:49:08.386-05:00If I remember correctly, he talks about it in I Ju...If I remember correctly, he talks about it in <i>I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times</i> — a great documentary.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-88479964069227286442010-06-21T18:12:31.971-05:002010-06-21T18:12:31.971-05:00Thanks for this.
