Musings on the byways of popular culture
Just stumbled across this which I’ve certainly never heard of, or seen before – The Beach Boys, with Brian Wilson on good (albeit Dr Landy assisted) form and Ray Charles taking an already magnificent song, Sail on Sailor, to another level – great vocal and love the cheeky little jazzy twist he puts on the piano part. How good is this?

This is a lovely article a friend shared on FB about playing drums with Ray Charles. Musicians love to tell these kind of stories, about working with famous people, how they’re all different and have their idiosyncratic ways of leading the band. Brother Ray had his own way of getting the drummer to play what he wanted.
