Brian Wilson Turns 82
Brian Douglas Wilson, founder of the Beach Boys, turns 82 this summer. Wilson was born on June 20, 1942 in Inglewood, CA. He was the first child of Audree Neva and Murry Wilson, a machinist and later a part-time songwriter. Brian’s brothers, Dennis and Carl, were born in 1944 and 1946, respectively. Wilson is currently relaxing while The Beach Boys with Mike Love is on tour now through November 19, 2023.
“It’s cool seeing a new generation of musicians and fans diggin’ our music. I’m doin’ good – actually kind of busy doin’ nothin’ these days, but it’s OK! Take care and stay safe!” Wilson said in an April 2023 post on his website.
Wilson, with his brothers, plus cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine first appeared as a music group in the autumn of 1961, initially under the name the Pendletones. After being prodded by Dennis to write a song about the local water-sports craze, Wilson and Mike Love together created what became the first single for the band, “Surfin'”. “Surfin'” became a top local hit in Los Angeles and reached number 75 on the national Billboard sales charts.
Without the band’s knowledge or permission, Candix Records changed their name to the Beach Boys. The band later moved to Capitol Records and their “Surfin’ Safari” and “409” became a double-sided national hit.
