Song #287: "It's Gettin' Late"--Beach Boys (1985)

There are several major groups of the pop/rock era that do not make an appearance in our Top 500 countdown.

The Rolling Stones are one. Led Zeppelin is another.

The Beach Boys almost joined that category, but did not, thanks to today's song, which was at best a minor hit for them back in the mid-1980's before they hit it big on the charts one more time a few years later with "Kokomo".

I discovered this song playing it on WUPE-FM in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in college. To me, a highly underrated song from them, and my personal favorite.

Here it is, our one and only song from the Beach Boys.
