Luyện nghe bài hát Brian Wilson Christmas Interview

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

Hi, Jack.

This Beach Boys' Christmas Album is something.
Ah, Dick Reynolds did the arrangements, I guess,

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

Is the first time you've worked with him?

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

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

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

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

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 what they of it.

Right.

I notice this album has uh, ah, with some of the popular things like, uh,
"I'll Be Home For Christmas," uh, "Auld Lang Syne," and uh, um, "We Kings"
and some of the traditional things, that you have a 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 for the album specifically?

Yes, I did. Uh-huh.

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

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

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

Ah, well, I guess something very obvious when you hear the song.
It's, ah, a very definite 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 this has been the greatest--one of the greater--
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 Beach Christmas show.
You a fine album here and, uh, I hope 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.

you very much, Jack.

And here again, the Beach Christmas
