*at the time of his 16th birthday on ’20 june 1958′, ‘brian wilson’ shared a bedroom with his brothers, ‘dennis’ + ‘carl’ – aged thirteen and eleven, respectively – in their family home in ‘hawthorne’*
.
He had watched his father, Murry Wilson, play piano, and had listened intently to the harmonies of vocal groups such as the Four Freshmen.
After dissecting songs such as “Ivory Tower” and “Good News”, Brian would teach family members how to sing the background harmonies.
For his birthday that year, Brian received a reel-to-reel tape recorder. He learned how to overdub, using his vocals and those of Carl and their mother.[9]
brian played piano with Carl and David Marks, an eleven-year-old longtime neighbor, playing guitars they had each received as Christmas presents.
Soon Brian and Carl were avidly listening to Johnny Otis’ KFOX radio show.[9] Inspired by the simple structure and vocals of the rhythm and blues songs he heard, Brian changed his piano-playing style and started writing songs.[citation needed] His enthusiasm interfered with his music studies at school. Family gatherings brought the Wilsons in contact with cousinMike Love. Brian taught Love’s sister Maureen and a friend harmonies.[9] Later, Brian, Mike Love and two friends performed at Hawthorne High School.[12] Brian also knew Al Jardine, a high school classmate who had already played guitar in a folk group called the Islanders.[citation needed] Brian suggested to Jardine that they team up with his cousin and brother Carl. At these sessions, held in Brian’s bedroom, “the Beach Boys sound” began to form. Love encouraged Brian[citation needed] to write songs, and gave the fledgling band its name: “The Pendletones”,[13] a portmanteau of “Pendleton”, a style of woolen shirt popular at the time and “tone”, the musical term. Though surfing motifs were prominent in their early songs, Dennis was the only avid surfer in the group.[14] He suggested that the group compose songs that celebrated the sport and the lifestyle that had developed around it within Southern California.[8][15][nb 1]
Jardine and a singer friend, Gary Winfrey, went to Brian to see if he could help out with a version of a folk song they wanted to record—”Sloop John B”.[citation needed] In Brian’s absence, the two spoke with their father, a music industry veteran of modest success. Murry arranged for the Pendletones to meet his publisher, Hite Morgan.[8] The group performed a slower ballad, “Their Hearts Were Full of Spring”, but failed to impress Morgan. After an awkward pause, Dennis mentioned they had an original song, “Surfin'”.[citation needed] Brian finished the song, and together with Mike Love, wrote “Surfin’ Safari”.[15] The group rented guitars, drums, amplifiers and microphones, and practiced for three days while the Wilsons’ parents were on a short vacation.
In October 1961, the Pendletones recorded the two surfing song demos in twelve takes at Keen Recording Studio)
Murry brought the demos to Herb Newman, owner of Candix Records and Era Records, and he signed the group on December 8, 1961.[15] When the boys eagerly unpacked the first box of singles – released both under the Candix label, and also as a promo issue under X Records (Morgan’s label) – they were shocked to see their band had been renamed as the Beach Boys.[citation needed]Murry Wilson called Morgan[citation needed] and learned that Candix wanted to name the group the Surfers to directly associate them with the increasingly popular teen sport.
but Russ Regan, a young promoter with Era Records – who later became president of 20th Century Fox Records – noted that there already existed a group by that name, and he suggested calling them the Beach Boys.
original title of 1967 “smile” album (which never came to fruition) was “dumb angel”
(brian wilson was the eldest son)
“love you” (1977)
In 2015, Soundstage aired an episode featuring Wilson performing with Jardine and former Beach Boys Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar at The Venetian in Las Vegas.[233] In April 2015, when asked if he was interested in making music with Love again, Wilson replied: “I don’t think so, no,”[234] later adding in July that he “doesn’t talk to the Beach Boys [or] Mike Love.”[235]
on 25 july 2015, Love said: “If you get Brian and I, we might go to the piano. But with every band there are cliques that are formed with management, wives, agents, publicists — and the tendency is with some people is they tend to lionize or make one person more important than the others. … The Beach Boys and all these bands that ever existed are a team.
(“i learned as captain of my cross country team that you don’t put a person down to get their best efforts, you encourage them”)

(what a thoroughly obnoxious guy!

(you have to?)
(do ?)

(or the unlikelihood)
(“The Beach Boys” are an American rock band formed in ‘Hawthorne’, ‘California’ in 1961)
(the group’s original lineup consisted of brothers ‘Brian’, ‘Dennis’, and ‘Carl’ Wilson, their cousin ‘Mike Love’, and their friend ‘Al Jardine’)
(distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early ‘surf songs’, they are one of the most influential acts of the ‘rock era’)
(the group, led by their principal songwriter and producer ‘Brian’, pioneered novel approaches to popular music form and production, combining their affinities for jazz-based vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and black R&B to create their unique sound)
(he later arranged his compositions for studio orchestras and explored a variety of other styles, often incorporating classical or jazz elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways)
(‘The Beach Boys’ began as a garage band managed by the Wilsons’ father ‘Murry’, with Brian’s increasingly sophisticated songwriting and recording abilities dominating their creative direction)
(emerging at the vanguard of the “California Sound”, they performed original material that reflected a ‘southern california’ youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance)
(after 1964, they abandoned the surfing aesthetic for more personal lyrics and multi-layered sounds. In 1966, the Pet Sounds album and “Good Vibrations” single vaulted the group to the top level of rock innovators and established the band as symbols of the nascent counterculture era)
(following Smile‘s dissolution, ‘Brian’ gradually ceded production and songwriting duties to the rest of the band, reducing his input because of mental health and substance abuse issues)
(the group’s public image subsequently faltered, and despite efforts to continue their psychedelic avant-garde phase and reclaim their hippie audiences, they were dismissed as an embodiment of the values and outlooks shared by early 1960s white suburban teenagers)
(the continued success of their ‘greatest hits’ albums during the mid 1970s precipitated the band’s transition into an ‘oldies act’, a move that was denigrated by critics and many fans)
(aince the 1980s, much-publicized legal wrangling over royalties, songwriting credits and use of the band’s name transpired)
(‘dennis’ drowned in 1983 and ‘carl’ died of lung cancer in 1998)
(After Carl’s death, many live configurations of the band fronted by ‘Mike Love’ and ‘Bruce Johnston’ continued to tour into the 2000s while other members pursued solo projects)
(even though ‘Wilson’ and ‘Jardine’ have not performed with Love and Johnston’s band since their one-off 2012 reunion tour, they remain a part of the Beach Boys’ corporation, ‘Brother Records Inc.’)
(‘The Beach Boys’ are one of the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful, and widely influential bands of all time)
(the group had over 80 songs chart worldwide, 36 of them ‘US Top 40’ hits (the most by an American rock band), 4 reaching #1 on the Billboard ‘Hot 100’ chart)
(‘The Beach Boys’ have sold in excess of 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time and are listed at #12 on Rolling Stone magazine’s 2004 list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”)
(they received their only ‘grammy award’ for the smile sessions (2011))
