The Beach
Boys formed in 1961, by 3 brothers
(Brian,Dennis, and Carl Wilson) , a
cousin (Mike Love), and a good friend
(Al Jardine), this band became known as
the Beach Boys. Their first hit, was "Surfin'".
Dennis came home and told his banded
family and friend (they had already
formed, but they didn't have any
records, singles, or anything out, just
had the whole "band" idea and all down)
that they should write a song about
surfing.
Well, they did. Mike sang lead, Brian
drummed (Dennis couldn't drum yet), Carl
played guitar, and Al played a double
bass. That started it all. After that,
they went on to have hits such as, "Surfin'
USA","Help Me, Rhonda","I Get Around", "Fun,Fun,Fun,",
etc. Bruce Johnston took Brian's place
in touring in '65, so Brian could
concentrate on the writings and
productions.
Then, 1966 came around. The year when
Brian would release his greatest gem,
"Pet Sounds". This album would become,
"The Greatest Album of All Time"
according to MOJO. After Pet Sounds, a
"pocket symphony", as Brain Wilson
describes it, was put out, "Good
Vibrations". That went to number one
both here in the US and across the ocean
in Europe. After that, nothing happened
for awhile. As they were very popular in
England, the US ws blind to their talent
at the time. And they released some
great albums and singles, and a couple
hits, but nothing really shook the
charts.
Brian was having less involvement, and
the group was under lots of pressure.
Then, they became a real "big" touring
band! Their concerts were huge
successes! And their 4th of July
concerts were real popular, too! The
last forth of July with the original BBs
was in 1983. That year, on December 28,
they lost the heart of the band, drummer
Dennis Wilson. Despite the loss, they
had to continue, I mean they were the
Beach Boys, they had been the Beach Boys
their whole adult lives. They had ups
and downs, disagreements within and
without the band, and times when one
member would leave the group or be fired
temporarily, or when they thought they
were going to break up, but things
always worked out. They were always the
Beach Boys. |
