As you probably know, the Beach Boys are famous for their harmonies, but Mike Love, cousin to the Wilson brothers is considered the lead vocalist, with the odd exception. 'Don't Worry Baby' is not one of the exceptions. How do I know? I've seen them in concert a couple of times, and they were the only concerts I have ever been to (and I have been to a lot) where the audience sang along so loud you could barely heard the band's instruments and couldn't hear them singing at all! I also have a bunch of their albums and at the following sites, you can listen to clips that make it quite clear it is Love singing lead on 'Don't Worry Baby.'
I just had a memory flash. I saw Burton Cummings in the same arena a few days after Elvis died. He did a song in memory and asked everyone for a minute of silence. There were the better part of 20,000 people there and you could have heard a pin drop! I have never seen or heard, make that not heard, anything like it in my life since.
