WRECKING CREW PIANIST DON RANDI REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND WORKING WITH BRIAN WILSON ON THE BEACH BOYS' PET SOUNDS (Ep. 226B)

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Chuck’s chat with Don Randi, Brian Wilson’s beloved Wrecking Crew pianist, not to mention Nancy Sinatra’s trusted ivory-tickling accomplice. Chances are if you’ve fallen in love with the piano work in a song from the 1960s or 1970s, it’s Don: “Good Vibrations,” “ABC,” “He’s A Rebel,” “It’s My Party,” “A Little Less Conversation,” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” “Somethin’ Stupid,” “I Got You Babe,” “Different Drum”…the list goes on and on. Don is truly a national treasure.
