Many years ago, in Augusta GA, they played a concert with other artists like Johnny Rivers, the Shirelles, Lou Christie, etc. They were the closing act. It was a great concert, and they invited everybody to come on stage with them and sing backup on this song. That was the only concert that I've ever been to, that the artists did that. INCREDIBLE concert, one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Everybody was a class act. One man in the audience came up to the stage and sang with Shirley Alston Reeves. Great times!
That is the Beachboys backing Jan and Dean on this tune and Surfin. Read the book The Nearest Faraway Place for ALL the details about both groups and which tunes were collaborations. :)

Very primitive -- but in stereo! This sounds more like The Beach Boys' Hite Morgan demo than the single version. All 3 are in my Beach Boys' covered and covers playlist. Thanks again for the upload!

Remember 45 rpm records at Sam the Record Man - 66 cents, Ha!
Guy named Carl Wilson, who was in a little combo named...the Beach Boys. :) (The Beach Boys are the backing band on this track.)

Are you serious? I didn't know that! That's great! Carl was a hell of a guitarist...
This is a pretty decent cover. It's a straight-ahead note for note BB cover, but so what? It's great! I wonder who does the guitar solo here?
Their version is better than the Beach Boys version.
🙂👍🏿👍🏿
They were all friends got stoned together.
