"Sloop John B" #3 5/7/1966

From the "Pet Sounds" LP, we give you the Beach Boys take on a Kingston Trio tune from 1958, itself based on a Jamaican folk song. The Wrecking Crew provided the music as they almost always did by now, with The Beach Boys generally only doing the vocals. The video (in the 60's they were called promotional films) was shot in Brian Wilson's pool and was recreated in "Love and Mercy." Definitely a personal favorite.
