California Girls - Vocals Recorded 55 Years Ago Today

55 years ago today, the Beach Boys recorded their vocals for "California Girls."  The instrumental backing was recorded two months earlier on April 6th.  Brian didn't have a title or lyrics yet.  This session was also the first time Bruce Johnston sang with the guys in the studio.  The song was released on the album Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) a week before coming out as a single backed with "Let Him Run Wild."  "California Girls" peaked at #3 in the US and went on to become, arguably, their signature song; opening hundreds of concerts.  Let us revisit Brian's incredible vocal arrangement from Columbia Studio in Los Angeles: June 4th, 1965.
