I just heard a gorgeous version of The Beach Boys' "Forever" covered by a man and a woman on the radio. I can't seem to find who it was.

Can anyone help me out?

I only know about a cover version by John Stamos featuring the Beach Boys from '92. Summer in paradise album. But a man and a woman...?

Forever was also covered for Brian's venture with Spring. They were also called American Spring as some brits also used the name. GREAT album by the way. It's really interesting as its Brian doing his songs with his wifes group sans The Beach Boys. I don't think he sang on any leads so I doubt this post will help you??? Lots of cool Beach Nuts here, the answer will show up

What was that one, it had a lot of other artists doing BB songs, if Irecall, the CD had a distinctly country feel. It has mostly brown on the cover, but red and white too, (lol, we're really stretching here)...anyways, was it on that one? I'm kinda thinking it might have been. Maybe it'll come to me....

The male vocalist on the version I heard today had a very Leonard Cohen-ish vibe, and the female vocals were more background than lead.

Does that ring any bells?

We know it isn't Stamos ! I have a vocal and Jazz impressions of Brian's work which is great but no Forever on it. I guess we go to the grand wizard of Oz, thats Viper

I found this while surfing the web. I don't know if it sheds any light on anything:

John Stamos and I have recorded several different versions of "Forever" throughtout the years - in styles ranging from "piano w/gospel choir" to an intentionally bad "rap meets 'I Dream of Jeannie'" rendition; both for his 80s-90s sitcom "Full House". Ultimately, we cut a version with John singing lead and Mike, Bruce, Carl and Al providing wonderful harmonies which became a part of the Beach Boys' Summer in Paradise CD. Then for the miniseries (The Beach Boys, An American Family 200 ABC-TV), engineer Mark Linett dubbed a track of Dennis original lead vocal from the 1969 8-track master for me to fashion a "piano-vocal" mix which Nick Stabile could then perform to in the show.

Sorry guys, I don't know anything about that particular version of "Forever".

The album is called STARS AND STRIPES. "Forever" is not on it.

Thats another late Beach Boys release that went straight to the dumper. It's sad as they became in the mid 90's the out of touch band that they were accused of during the 60's. Oddly enough the album the core members of the band hated and saw fit for it to not see the light of day. It was released in 2004 and became the rave reviews of all the writers who used to dump on them. I'm sure in a small part of Brians mind he was vindicated by the original lack of support.

Ho deaconxx. This answer may come a little late but you know what they say.

This is unquestionably the version you were looking for. I must admit to liking it. And here is the wiki article on the performers, Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips.

Hope this helps.
