The Beach Boys

In 2001, just before the iconic performance of 'God Only Knows' with The Corrs at Party at the Palace, The Beach Boys were riding high on a wave of renewed relevance. Their previous album, 'The Pet Sounds Sessions,' which was released in 1997, marked a significant moment in honoring their classic 1966 album 'Pet Sounds.' This live recording showcases the enduring legacy of Brian Wilson's songwriting brilliance and the complex harmonies that have made The Beach Boys a defining force in pop music. Interestingly, 'God Only Knows' is frequently heralded as one of the greatest love songs ever written, demonstrating Wilson's genius in blending emotional depth with innovative sound. The pairing of Wilson with The Corrs not only highlights the song's timeless appeal but also underlines the artist’s ability to engage with new generations, reminding us just how powerful his music remains even decades later.
