If you haven't listened to Pet Sounds recently today would be a good day for a refresher. If you've never listened to it, it's overdue. You'll recognize many parts of it. It's a masterpiece. Put The Beatles on notice. The man was brilliant.
I didn't see it mentioned in the obituary, probably because the Beach Boys' later hits came one after the other, but their breakout 45rpm single was "Surfin' Safari," backed by "409." It came out in June 1962, and I remember it got lots of radio play in Phoenix, Arizona. Living in the desert, we thought it was pretty cool, and it spurred us on to many trips to California beaches. I remember several of us drove from Phoenix to Huntington Beach that summer, and "Surfin' Safari" was played on the radio for half of the trip.
