Track Description

"Darlin'" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1967 album Wild Honey. It was also released as a single, with the B-side of the single being "Here Today" from the 1966 album Pet Sounds. The single peaked at #19 in the United States and #11 in the United Kingdom. The song was produced by The Beach Boys and featured Carl Wilson on lead vocals.
The song "Darlin'" is a re-write of a song that Brian and Mike had written years earlier called "Thinkin' 'Bout You Baby" which was first recorded and released as a single in April 1964 by Sharon Marie - a previously unrecorded teenager who had informally auditioned for Brian and Mike (by singing opera standards) stageside after a Sacramento Beach Boys concert - with production by Brian himself. The song can be heard on the 2004 compilation Pet Projects: The Brian Wilson Productions. In 1972, Brian's wife at the time, Marilyn, as well as her sister Diane were known as the duo American Spring. On their debut album Spring they covered the song "Thinkin' 'Bout You Baby". After the song had been re-written as "Darlin'", Brian was planning to give the song to a band called Redwood (later to be known as Three Dog Night) as Danny Hutton was a friend of Brian's around that time, but the other Beach Boys members insisted that they should record the song.
The instrumental and vocal track was recorded under the production of Brian Wilson on October 27, 1967. The instrumental track of the song was released on the 1968 album Stack-O-Tracks.
The "Darlin'" single, backed with "Here Today", was issued by Capitol Records in the United States in December 1967. The single peaked at the number 19 position on the Billboard charts, but it placed at number 10 on the Cash Box sales chart. Radio station playlists indicated high popularity in Santa Barbara (#1), Los Angeles (#2), Baltimore and Norfolk (#4); Washington, Boston, Honolulu (all #5); San Diego, Fresno, Portland, Milwaukee, Louisville (all #6); Vancouver (#7), Toronto (#9), and New York (#14).
In the United Kingdom the single was issued in January 1968 with the B-side "Country Air". The single peaked at the number 11 position. In New Zealand the single peaked at the number 10 position. In Sweden it placed number 15, and in the Dutch single charts the song peaked at number 21.
