LOS ANGELES, Feb 14 — Beach Boys standard God Only Knows was given homage at the 2017 Grammys by award-winning singer-songwriters John Legend and Cynthia Erivo, with a studio version released to YouTube and iTunes.

Originally recorded and released in 1966, multi-part Beach Boys track God Only Knows made use of subtle and overt dissonance until reaching the ethereal harmonies of its title phrase.

Both aspects are preserved by this John Legend and Cynthia Erivo cover, which leans on piano, wind, string and brass instrumentation, transforming the five-part vocal into a duet for male and female. — AFP-Relaxnews
