Never really cared that much about their music. Thought “The Sloop John B” was a good tune
The Beach Boys version was a reworked cover of the Kingston Trios version (The wreck of the Sloop John B)of the song from 1958. The original song is a Bahamian song from 1916 entitled The John B Sails.
Brian Wilson did have a very good mastery of making music. Sadly, it probably won’t help him now.
