Brothers Barry and Robin Gibb wrote "To Love Somebody" with the intent of having Otis Redding record it. Redding died in a plane crash before he was able to, and the Robert Stigwood-produced tune ended up on The Bee Gees' international debut album "Bee Gees 1st" in 1967.
"Wake Up Little Susie" was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, and released in 1957 by Phil and Don Everly recording as The Everly Brothers. It reached #1 on the Billboard Charts in America and provided the first of many examples of the Everlys' close harmony.
"Good Vibrations" represented a departure from the lyrical surf-beach rock for which the Beach Boys had been known. Over 90 hours of tape was used in the recording sessions between four different studios as Brian Wilson and Mike Love drew heavily upon the services of studio musicians from The Wrecking Crew. The result was described by Beach Boys publicist Derek Taylor as a "pocket symphony."
Jametown Revival founders Zach Chance and Jonathan Clay were childhood friends in Magnolia, Texas who collaborated on their first musical project at the age of 15. When they started singing harmonies on each others' songs, they decided to start recording and touring together.
