The Beach Boys, 'Don't Worry Baby'
Writers: Brian Wilson, Roger Christian
Producer: Wilson
Released: May '64, Capitol

Wilson, who listened to the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" so much he wore out the grooves, wrote "Don't Worry Baby" for Ronnie Bennett. From the opening drum riff, "Don't Worry Baby" is sheer homage but also vintage Beach Boys, with one of Wilson's finest falsetto-laden vocals.
