On this day, June 20, Chet Atkins (1924) and Brian Wilson (1942) were born.
I'm posting this thread even earlier in the day than I did last year.
I see a lot of the videos have turned into bad links. I'll have to track down alternate videos.

It's my birthday too, but never mind that. Brian Wilson was born on June 20, 1942. Chet Atkins was born on June 20, 1924.

Some of those links have gone bad. I'll have to fix that.
Brian Wilson went through some personal ordeals, but he does get out into public and perform from time to time. Surely the biggest omission in my record collection is "Pet Sounds." Here are Brian Wilson and the rest of the Beach Boys, in three different versions of a lovely song from that 1966 album:

Dedicated to the memory of Dennis and Carl Wilson whose lives changed the world as we know it in a profoundly positive way. Equal dues and respect to their eldest brother Brian Wilson without whose musical & lyrical genius this national treasure wouldn't exist.
I was delighted to discover this clip myself back during August of 2013. At that time, the audio track portion was damaged to the point of being inaudible as it did nothing but make a painfully loud high-pitched squeal from beginning to end.
Considering "God only knows" is my most favorite Beach Boys song and this is the only surviving original B&W studio rendition publicly available on YouTube I knew it was my duty to restore it back to full functionality which only took a few minutes to do. As it turned out all that required was simply transcoding it again using the proper audio codec.

"God Only Knows" is a song by American rock band The Beach Boys. It was composed and produced by Brian Wilson with lyrics by Tony Asher and lead vocal by Carl Wilson.
The song broke new ground in many ways. It was one of the first commercial songs to use the word 'God' in its title. As producer, Brian Wilson used many unorthodox instruments, including the French horns that are heard in the song's famous introduction.
