<<<THE T⏳ME CAPSULE<<<

DARLIN’

The Beach Boys

1967

U.K. - #11; U.S.A. - #19

Trivia:

When Brian Wilson wrote the first version of "Darlin'", it was entitled "Thinking 'Bout You Baby". It was slated for release by unknown singer Sharon Marie. She was dating fellow Beach Boys member Mike Love. Later, it was altered and re-titled "Darlin'" by Wilson. The song was recorded by a band named Redwood, an early incarnation of Three Dog Night. 

As the Redwood version remained unreleased, The Beach Boys members decided to cut their own take on the song and included it on the 'Wild Honey' album.
