Although he did write one—Manfred Mann's Earth Band's cover of "Blinded by the Light" went to #1. He's had 12 Top 10 hits, but he never got above #2, with "Dancing in the Dark," blocked by the brilliant juggernaut that was "When Doves Cry."Bruce Springsteen had no number 1 hit.
Interesting. Bruce Springsteen had no number 1 hit.
Well, good, because great as Mr Blaine was, I can't imagine Dennis would have liked Hal being on him.(Hal Blaine on drums, not Dennis)
I think that is the Beach Boys best song.Beach Boy's God Only Knows (Paul McCartney's 'best song ever') wasn't a hit. Peaked at no.39.
Shocking.

Haha! AaaarghWell, good, because great as Mr Blaine was, I can't imagine Dennis would have liked Hal being on him.
Hard to argue with that. So many other BB records in that soulful, spiritual vein that aren't so well known: like Surf's Up, Feel Flows, Long Promised Road.I think that is the Beach Boys best song.
According to wiki, it was Jackson on a Linn drum machine. Discogs has lotsa details, and lists Porcaro for 4 other songs.#12 - Toto was the studio band for Michael Jacksons Thriller album. They obviously didnt record everything, or every track. What I can't figure out is who drummed on the song Thriller?
