of California, you can't help but picture
the waves, the sun and the san.
Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX
And if you listen closely over the crash of the surf,
you can hear a guitar riff and the vocal harmonies
of three brothers who grew up singing in the South Bay.
In 1961, those brothers-- Brian, Carl and Dennis--
their cousin Mike and their friend Al
formed a band called "The Beach Boys."
They weren't just making music.
They were exporting good vibrations
to the rest of the world.
For those of us lucky enough to grow up in California,
they were the soundtrack to our lives,
blaring from the transistor radio
on the beach blanket,
pumping from your car
as you pulled into the diner for a late-night burger,
and turning every outing into a surfing safari.
-♪ Let's go surfin' now...♪ -As they put out hit after hit,
their music and their spirit developed until something
pulled us offshore, further and deeper
into a musical landscape
that was no longer just the California sound,
but a symphonic transcendent trip into places
that no band had ever dared go.
The love for their music has endured
and grown for over 60 years.
They have sold over 100 million records,
influenced countless artists
and staked a claim on the entire season of summer.
Tonight, we celebrate their legacy,
as musicians who love The Beach Boys come together
to perform their most iconic songs.
So, grab a board, a towel and some shades
because this is A Grammy Salute to The Beach Boys.

I am so thankful
that the Recording Academy has devoted an entire night
to celebrating my heroes,
the true legends, America's Band, The Beach Boys!
[cheering, applause]
You know, some people call their music "surf music."
I call it "heart music" because it bypasses the mind
and goes straight to the heart, reminding us
about the things that matter.
Life, love, friends and family.
That's what makes it so multigenerational.
Whether you're five or 75,
The Beach Boys' music is part of our DNA, isn't it?
[cheering, whooping]
I am so honored and so lucky
to be on the same stage with The Beach Boys from time to time.
And I always take that opportunity
to thank all of The Beach Boys.
So, please, tonight, will you join me
in thanking Brian Wilson...

Now, when we listen to The Beach Boys,
we tap into our collective innocence.
Their music unifies us around a California dream
that everyone can agree on, right?
Sun, fun, freedom and love.
[audience whooping]
And speaking of that California dream, I don't think anything
captures that feeling better than our next song.

We're not sure if it was their.
[laughs] They're amazing singers.
I mean, brothers singing together.
-Mm-hmm. -We've been lucky to experience that
firsthand now for three decades.
Being related makes a huge difference
in how your voices sound

Our lifeblood is our love for three-part harmonies,
so, obviously, we have a huge penchant

Brian's great ballads,
they always spoke to your loneliness.
He was just incredible at reaching in
and touching those feelings.
His insight into the adolescent heart
was really
the deepest of anybody out there,
and it was the most relatable,
you know, by speaking so directly to it,
it made you feel, obviously, a lot less alone.
The voices, the tone of the voices was so beautiful.
Um, bit like a classical choir, in a way,
used in a, in a rock and roll way.
And it just had this incredibly evocative feeling.
It just took you out of where you were
and took you to another place.
♪ It's dark and I'm...♪

The first time I heard The Beach Boys,
I believe I was on a family road trip
in a 1999 GMC Suburban,
and my dad put onPet Sounds,
and the first song on Pet Sounds
is "Wouldn't It Be Nice."
It feels very special to play the song that's
track one on the CD that I grew up
listening to the most.
The fact that I get to play it in front of all The Beach Boys,
I'm still kind of taking it in.
It's very overwhelming. I'm sweating.

ANNOUNCER: Coming up, LeAnn Rimes soars
with her beautiful version of "Caroline, No."
And Beck performs thePet Sounds hit "Sloop John B."
It's very rare when music is wildly popular,
experimental, and innovative and brand-new at the same time.
The Beach Boys
were able to do that.
They're one of the few.
ANNOUNCER: This is CBS.
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome the CEO of the Recording Academy,
Harvey Mason Jr.
Hey, everybody. What a night, huh?
Incredible. Wow.
Beach Boys.
On behalf of the Recording Academy,
I want to thank all of the incredible artists
who have brought their talents
to create this Grammy salute to The Beach Boys.
We appreciate it. We appreciate it.
Thank you for the good vibrations tonight
and everything you do to bring people together
through the power of music. Thank you.
[cheering, applause]
♪ We come on the sloop John B...♪
BRIAN: "Sloop John B." What can you say about that?
It's like an old folk song
that Carl Sandburg wrote the lyrics to,
the Kingston Trio adapted an arrangement for it,
and Al Jardine came to me and said,
"Why don't we do 'Sloop John B' you know?"
And he taught me the song.
JARDINE: I played Brian what I thought would be
a really cool idea for a Beach Boys song,
and I played the straight thre- chord little song that it is.
And of course Brian took it to heart,
and he put a beautiful brass band arrangement on it.
BRIAN: I'm telling you, it's one of the best records we ever cu.
It had two 12-string guitar parts
playing and wailing together. [imitating guitar]
The vocals were, like, lilting and high-pitched.
♪ Well, I feel so broke up♪
♪ I want to go home...♪
JARDINE: Very few people understand his arrangement skills
and how he took a John Philip Sousa,
put it over that folk song,
and transformed it into a Beach Boys song.
[cheering, applause]
ANNOUNCER: Performing "Sloop John B"
off the 1966 albumPet Sounds,
here is eight-time Grammy winner Beck.

when I think that's u-ultimately, like,
what I'm looking for, is something that will move people,
and "Caroline, No," it's, like,
oh, this is just a different side of The Beach Boys.
I wanted to put my own spin on it and
just break your heart a little tonight.
[laughs] That's what I'm here for.

ANNOUNCER: Coming up, Brandi Carlile returns.
Plus, Andy Grammer sings Carl Wilson's classic "Darlin'"
And Mumford & Sons go unplugged with
"I Know There's an Answer."
That's the sign of a great song in our minds.
If you can strip away all the bells and whistles.
So we've loved rehearsing it
and then playing it tonight.
ANNOUNCER: This is CBS.
The most striking thing about The Beach Boys isn't just
their orchestration and harmonies, it's their courage.
Brian has always been regarded as a pop music genius,
who, along with The Beach Boys,
created the masterpiece Pet Sounds.
One of the most important albums of all time.
For me, the heart of why the music is so impactful is
that he was so genuine and so vulnerable in his writing.
Brian didn't just change the way music sounded,
he changed the way it felt.
He pushed the band to evolve
from singing about girls and cars,
and he took us on a journey
into deep and even dark places.
So many artists have been inspired by The Beach Boys
in the past 60 years, including this next group.
Here with "I Know There's an Answer" from Pet Sounds,
in a performance featuring Sam Gendel, is Mumford & Sons.
[cheering, applause]
Thank you.
Uh, it's a complete privilege for us to be here
to sing in front of those fellas up there
all the songs they wrote and gave to us.
Thank you.
Gonna try and destroy one for you.
It's gonna be real quiet.

♪ I know there's an answer♪

♪ They come on like they're peaceful♪

♪ They trip through their day♪

I'm singing "Darlin',"
and pretty much just 'cause it's so fun to sing.
Specifically because the melody is, like,
it's all over the place,
and I found myself rehearsing for it,
just, like, smiling. [laughs]
He wrote a lot of different songs, and this one is just so
joyous in how weird and unique it is.
It's really fun to sing.

ANNOUNCER: Coming up, My Morning Jacket performs
The Beach Boys favorite "I Get Around."
Plus, St. Vincent with a powerful version
of "You Still Believe in Me."
The reason I think The Beach Boys
are so timeless is melody, melody, melody.
They've written some of the best melodies
that will ever be written.
ANNOUNCER: This is CBS.
We've been hearing a lot about Brian and Mike tonight,
and for good reason.
I'd like to take a moment now to acknowledge
Al Jardine, David Marks and Bruce Johnston.
[cheering, applause]
Give it up.
Al is a founding member.
He's an incredible vocalist who sang
their number one hit "Help Me Rhonda."
David Marks grew up alongside the Wilson brothers.
And his guitar interplay with Carl Wilson
helped shape the sound of the first four Beach Boys albums.
Bruce Johnston, the incredible
multi-instrumentalist, joined in 1965.
Bruce was actually the one who played Pet Sounds
for John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
[cheering, applause]

from that iconic album,

The Beach Boys brought the beach to us, you know?
It's like, in Kentucky, we didn't have beaches.
We had lakes, but, uh, we still had The Beach Boys.
That was, like, the soundtrack of summer, you know?
Of going to the lake and...
that vision of The Beach Boys
kind of slowly changes with you as you grow older.
And slowly their music changed and got deeper
and wilder and crazier,
as I got crazier and grew up, and, uh...
so I feel like they've kind of been at every turn in my life.

BRIAN: Basically, our forte is harmonics.
There's a certain family blend 'cause we're brothers
and a cousin and our good friend Al Jardine.
We all have different voices, but, nevertheless,
we blend well.
CARL: I think when I was about nine,
Brian would ask me to sing.
And if I didn't want to, he'd have my mom
make me sing with him because he'd be making up arrangements.
So it's like,
"Mom, make Carl sing."
LOVE: Carl and Brian and myself,
we'd sing Everly Brothers song,
and they were done in two-part harmony.
We'd do three-part harmony.
That was when Brian began to really study harmony.
DENNIS: He was able to organize his thoughts
to a point where they were hypnotic
but yet entertaining, meaningful and spiritual.
♪ Spring.♪
[cheering, applause]
The voices of The Beach Boys are always in the air.
And Brian Wilson loved to use their voices
as though they were instruments themselves.
In the studio or even while just driving around,
Carl, Dennis, Mike, Bruce and Al would sing
melodic ideas that Brian had and eventually
they'd create a compelling musical soundscape.
You can still hear that magic on "Heroes and Villains,"
the central song on The Beach Boys' wildly ambitious
and long delayed album Smile.
To sing "Heroes and Villains," here are
three-time Grammy winners
and multiplatinum artist Pentatonix.
