The Beach Boys : Here Comes The Night
On March 23, 1979 The Beach Boys released a nearly 11-minute disco version of "Here Comes the Night" as a single from their new album L.A. (Light Album). You can still find some fans who have something nice to say about the album ( after all Dennis Wilson sings on two songs), but most agree Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh who concluded the album "is worse than awful. It is irrelevant".
That's part of what makes the band's attempt to recast this Wild Honey deep cut into a a dance floor filler such an awful concept and creation. Apparently both Brian and Dennis weren't happy with the decision, and I'm not sure how those two get overruled, but here's proof: the worst moment in the entire Beach Boys catalog. And it fell only four places short of the U.S. Top 40, peaking at U.S. #44.
The original.
