Gerry Beckley singing? It's also been covered by Tim Schmidt, Glenn Frey (2 Eagles!), They Might Be Giants, a Danish electronica duo named Owusu & Hannibal & a guy named Nick DeCaro in 1968. Thanks for the upload - I put all of these versions in my Beach Boys covered and covering playlist with the original!

+pause10two4 Wow, a lot of misinformation in this post. Murry merely suggested the song be sped up a half-step. It was ultimately Brian's decision to do this and it was done completely with his knowledge. Murry was not their manager in 1966, (he had been kicked out by the group two years earlier) nor was he ever given any sort of "final say" in their music (Brian produced their music and had full control beginning with the "Surfin' USA" LP). Also, no backing vocals for "Caroline, No" were ever recorded, so it would have been hard to take them out.

Hi, Cat! So nice to hear from you! Thanks for all the info! America's version is wonderful. I think and Beach Boy history is just So interesting to me. What fun to hear new things. Thanks so much for listening! Jim

I also appreciate the historical perspective your video gives this recording. To add to other comments, Tony Asher's original lyric was "Carol, I know." Reportedly, the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds release was a Brian Wilson solo, sped up by dad/then-mgr Murry Wilson to make Brian's voice sound "younger," then mastered without backing vocals -- all without Brian's knowledge or approval. There is a Youtube post of the song slowed, supposedly, to the original speed -- makes an interesting comparison.

Jim, you know I love this one! Dewey Bunnell does an exceptional lead vocal & the Beach Boys' Jeff Foskett is one of the backing vocalists.

I still have the original single that Brian Wilson released under his own name. I just love the song. Thanks so much for watching and listening John! Jim

The original song had a flute and bass flute at the end of the song and America's version has a guitar solo that sounds very much like Glen Campbell playing to me. Is he mentioned in the credits? Very nice vocals by Dewey on this rendition. Thanks for posting, Jim! Great video as always! This song has always been one of my faves! John

I was reading the wiki on the original version of this song from the Pet Sounds album and found a lot of interesting things. The percussion intro always messed me up because it sounds like the singing begins on the wrong beat. Turns out that the percussion used were a tambourine and an empty water bottle found in the studio! Also, "Caroline, No" was originally released as a solo single by Brian Wilson before Pet Sounds was released. Glen Campbell played guitar on the original version.

Raining here too, Heather. I'm so glad this song and video helped to brighten your day a little. I love this song and it is the final song on the great Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" album...with the train and the dogs barking...just wonderful. Thank you so much for watching and listening to this one!

Love this group, Jim! Before you exposed me to more of their great stuff, all I knew was "Horse With No Name"...this one is great! Love all your backgrounds, they're beautiful, and relaxing...and very tempting! Thanks so much for sharing and brightening a rainy, chilly day :))
