Beach Boys live in “SOUND“, Clearwather 2023
10:10 -Story about George Harrison and “Beatles“
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 friend Al Jardine. Distinguished by their vocal harmonies, adolescent-oriented lyrics, and musical ingenuity, they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era. They drew on the music of older pop vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and black R&B to create their unique sound. Under Brian’s direction, they often incorporated classical or jazz elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways.
The Beach Boys formed as a garage band centered on Brian’s songwriting and managed by the Wilsons’ father, Murry. In 1963, the band enjoyed their first national hit with “Surfin’ .“, beginning a string of top-ten singles that reflected a southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance, dubbed the “California sound“. They were one of the few American rock bands to sustain their commercial standing during the British Invasion. Starting with 1965’s The Beach Boys Today!, they abandoned beachgoing themes for more personal lyrics and ambitious orchestrations. In 1966, the Pet Sounds album and “Good Vibrations“ single raised the group’s prestige as rock innovators; both are now considered among the greatest and most influential works in popular music history. After scrapping the Smile album in 1967, Brian gradually ceded control of the group to his bandmates.
In the late 1960s, the group’s commercial momentum faltered in the U.S., and they were widely dismissed by the early rock music press before rebranding themselves in the early 1970s. Carl took over as de facto leader until the mid-1970s, when the band responded to the growing success of their live shows and greatest hits compilations by transitioning into an oldies act. Dennis drowned in 1983 and Brian soon became estranged from the group. Following Carl’s death from lung cancer in 1998, the band granted Love legal rights to tour under the group’s name. In the early 2010s, the original members briefly reunited for the band’s 50th anniversary tour. As of 2023, Brian and Jardine do not perform with Love’s edition of the Beach Boys, but remain official members of the band.
The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful bands of all time, selling over 100 million records worldwide. They helped legitimize popular music as a recognized art form and influenced the development of music genres and movements such as psychedelia, power pop, progressive rock, punk, alternative, and lo-fi. Between the 1960s and 2020s, the group had 37 songs reach the US Top 40 (the most by an American band), with four topping the Billboard Hot 100. In 2004, they were ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone’s list of the greatest artists of all time. Many critics’ polls have ranked Today!, Pet Sounds, Smiley Smile (1967), Sunflower (1970), and Surf’s Up (1971) among the finest albums in history. The founding members were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Other members during the band’s history have been David Marks, Bruce Johnston, Blondie Chaplin, and Ricky Fataar.
The Beach Boys (рус. «Бич бойз» — американская рок-группа. Основу ансамбля в годы творческой активности составляли братья Уилсоны — Брайан (бас-гитара, вокал), Деннис (ударные) и Карл (соло-гитара, вокал), их двоюродный брат Майк Лав (вокал) и их общий друг Алан Джардин (ритм-гитара, вокал); позже к группе присоединился Брюс Джонстон. На становление музыкального стиля группы повлияли ранний рок-н-ролл и вокальные группы 1950-х гг.
Успех группе принесли гармоничные песни в жанре сёрф-рока, описывающие море, солнечные пляжи и спортивные автомобили («Surfin’ .», «Surfer Girl», «Little Deuce Coupe»); пик популярности The Beach Boys в Америке пришёлся на середину 1960-х годов, когда вышли такие хиты, как «Fun, Fun, Fun», «I Get Around», «Help Me, Rhonda», «California Girls», рассказывающие о жизни калифорнийской молодёжи.
В условиях «британского вторжения» лидер коллектива Брайан Уилсон стал менять звучание и тематику песен; кульминацией этого развития стал один из самых первых концептуальных альбомов — «Pet Sounds» (1966), имевший переломное значение в рок-музыке того времени.
В 1983 году погиб Деннис Уилсон, а с середины 1980-х гг. Брайан Уилсон перестал принимать участие в деятельности группы, появляясь в студии и на концертах лишь в исключительных случаях.
У The Beach Boys вышло 29 студийных альбомов, более 70 синглов. Всего же в мире продано более 65 миллионов альбомов группы. В 2001 году The Beach Boys получили награду «Грэмми» за жизненные достижения. 5 июня 2012 года вышел альбом «That’s Why God Made the Radio», который стал первой студийной работой группы за последние 16 лет.
