SMILE

Smile

Smile is a partially recorded concept album by the Beach Boys originally intended to be the follow-up album to Pet Sounds. After the Beach Boys' main songwriter Brian Wilson abandoned large portions of music recorded from early 1966 to mid 1967, the group recorded the dramatically minimized Smiley Smile album in its place. Several of the original tracks eventually found their way onto subsequent Beach Boys albums. As Smile's fame grew, details of the original Beach Boys Smile recordings acquired considerable mystique, and it became widely known as one of pop music's legendary milestones.
