Luyện nghe bài hát Brian Wilson Christmas Interview

Well, along with our special feature of Beach Boys' Christmas Album,
once again I'm happy to see the smiling face of the of
popular group here in the studio, Brian Wilson.
to see you again, Brian.

Hi, Jack.

This Boys' Christmas Album is really something.
Ah, Dick did the arrangements, I guess, huh?

Yes, he did. He did a beautiful job, a job.

Is this the first time you've worked with

Right. I'd been, uh, to meet him and work with him for quite a long time.

Now who's idea was it to have you featured on this, uh, one tune--I,
I was particularly impressed with it--"A Christmas."

Well, I... sort of picked out song to sing for myself.
I, I love the song and uh, I've always wanted to sing it, so I thought I'd it.

Well, maybe this will be the start of a whole new career,

I don't know, that's... It, it could, and it couldn't. Ah... I don't know.

Well, let's leave it to the listeners to see they think of it.

Right.

I notice this album has uh, ah, along with some of the popular like, uh,
"I'll Be Home For Christmas," uh, "Auld Syne," and uh, um, "We Three Kings"
and some of the traditional things, you have a couple of your,
your own, uh, Beach Boys type in the LP, too.

Uh-huh, we've more or less one side, uh, our own style, and...

of a teen side and an adult side.

Uh-huh, right, um-hm. Contrasting.

Uh-huh. Now, we have, uh, one of your coming up here, Brian.
Uh, "Christmas Day." You wrote this for the specifically?

Yes, I did. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. And now, do you do your, the arrangements,
or did Dick Reynolds handle all of

Dick handled the arrangements on the, ah, the modern side
--the traditional side--and I did the, ah, and the
arrangements of the music on our own basic style--side.
did the strings, also, on the, uh, on the modern side.

Coming up now, ah, a very sentimental type song,
particularly for who are away from home during this time of year
--"I'll Be Home For Christmas." Any, ah, thing about this,
tune that you'd like to say, Brian?

Ah, well, I guess there's something obvious when you hear the song.
It's, ah, there's a very influence of the Four Freshmen
on the as well as the delivery, and, uh, obviously
we all look up and the style of the Four Freshmen and,
uh, I feel this has been the greatest--one of the
vocal influences, ah, in the today.

Well, certainly been, uh, nice of you to take the time to come
by again here for our special Boys' Christmas show.
You have a fine album here and, uh, I you'll be home for Christmas.

Well, I I will, too. I hope everyone's home for Christmas.

I do, too. Brian Wilson, thanks again for by.

Thank you much, Jack.

And here again, the Boys' Christmas
