"Soul Searchin'" is a song written by American musicians Brian Wilson and Andy Paley for an aborted Beach Boys reunion album in the 1990s. It was later recorded by Solomon Burke (for his 2002 album Don't Give Up on Me) and Wilson himself (for his 2004 album Gettin' In over My Head). The Beach Boys' recording was the last to feature lead vocals from Carl Wilson, who died in 1998, and it was ultimately released in 2013.[2]

Background and Beach Boys version

"Soul Searchin'"
Song by The Beach Boys
from the album Made in California
Released2013
RecordedNovember 7-8 and 16-17, 1995[1]
GenreSoul
LabelCapitol Records
Songwriter(s)Brian Wilson, Andy Paley
Producer(s)Brian Wilson, Don Was[1]
The song was inspired by doo-wop group the Dells

Elaborating on the origins of "Soul Searchin'", Paley said that he had the track finished before Wilson had heard it, but not its lyrics. "Brian came up with the first line (recites “I was a bum…”) and we worked on it from there. Brian contributed heavily with lyrics on that one."[2] Wilson was especially proud of that opening line.[3] Recalling the recording session with the Beach Boys, Paley said, "We had meetings and everything was getting rolling. ... Everyone was so happy to be there ... First I thought: 'Wow, this could really happen.' And when Carl sang 'Soul Searchin',' it was like ... wow this really is going to happen!"[4] According to Paley, "They all thought it was a hit", although he remembered Bruce Johnston commenting to him, "You might want to ask Brian about that opening lyric. I don't know about that."[3]

The track was intended by Paley to sound like the Dells, a doo-wop group best known for the 1956 hit "Oh What a Nite".[5] Paley said that the original mix of "Soul Searchin'" was "really good; the way I wanted to sound in my head was like a Philly soul record. A lot of stuff was added to the Beach Boys track, things that I wasn’t nuts about — like acoustic guitars."[2] Ultimately, the project collapsed. Brian blamed Carl and said that Carl disliked "Soul Searchin'" and did not want it released. Brian's wife Melinda Ledbetter also blamed Carl, saying that he did not believe the music was commercial enough.[4]

Two versions of the Beach Boys' 1995 version later surfaced; the first was a bootlegged (not officially released) version featuring some of the Beach Boys' vocals "flown-in" from the Don Was-produced backing track to Brian and Paley's backing track from their demo recording. In 2013, the original Beach Boys version (with the Don Was-produced backing track) was released on the box set Made in California.[1][2]

Solomon Burke version

Solomon Burke recorded a version for his 2002 album Don't Give Up on Me. Reviewing the album for Vibe, Dimitri Ehrlich describd the song as "a gently swinging tune that showcases Burke's roasted-chestnut voice."[6]

Brian Wilson version

In 2004, Brian revisited the song for his 2004 album Gettin' In over My Head, using Carl's original lead vocal from the Beach Boys' unreleased version. AllMusic critic John Bush said that the track was one of the album's highlights and decreed, "Lyrics aside, Carl's soul and emotion rescue the song."[7]
