Dig, Richman wrote a song called “Ice Cream Man” and Brian posed as a Good Humor ice cream man on the Sunflower LP cover. Pet Sounds is one of the most tender, soul baring LP’s ever made and Jonathan often bared his soul onstage (crawling on all fours) and on entire LP’s and songs like “Affection”, “Back in Your Life”, “That Summer Feeling” etc..
The years have been kind to Richman – he looks much younger than his sixty two years, He appears to be in good health, and has lost no vocal range. Somewhat surprisingly, his music continues to find a younger audience – twenty-somethings outnumbered greybeards
