32. Wanderlust — Beatles, Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Brian Wilson, Greg Mayfield, Phil Spector, Bruce Johnston and the Ronettes

Summary: Chartbusters!  The Big Hits from England USA.     In 1964, the Beatles were the leaders of the pack in the American charts, but the Beach Boys kept it together with four top ten hits ("Fun,Fun,Fun", "I Get Around", "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)", and "Dance,Dance Dance"), and still managed to spread some of their California sound to England.    This led to years of competitiveness, as "Rubber Soul" beget "Pet Sounds" beget "Revolver" beget "Good Vibrations" beget "Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane" and "Sgt. Pepper".      We look at the relationship between the Beatles and the Beach Boys, specifically John, Paul and Brian Wilson in this week's Beatling About with special guest Greg Mayfield. .
