[Em] Welcome to [A] WatchMojo.com and today we're taking a look [E] at the history of the Beach Boys.
When we're ready to sing, we step up to the microphones and it comes out something like this.
[Ab]
The [G] Beach Boys formed in Hawthorne, [Ab] California in 1961.
Brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love and high school friend Al Jardine [Eb] began performing [Db] in the late 1950s as the Pendletones.
[Ab] Soon, Dad Murray Wilson orchestrated a Hollywood [Eb] audition for the group which [Bb] prompted their first [Eb] recording in [Bbm] [Abm] 1961.
The Beach Boys released Surfin' to moderate US [E] success.
Murray [A] Wilson became band manager and the Beach Boys started cranking out tunes.
With Brian Wilson and Love singing, Carl Wilson and [D] Jardine on guitar and Dennis Wilson on drums, they dropped [A] their debut Surfin' Safari in 1962.
[Em] [B]
[E]
[A] [D] Inspired by California's [Em] Sun and Surf, [A] the Top 40 album was followed by the similarly [Fm] themed [Eb] Surfin' USA which went to number two.
Its [Ab] title cut hit the Billboard Hot 100's top three [Eb] and made the Beach Boys stars.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] [Bb]
The 1960s saw multiple [Eb] lineup changes including the brief addition of David Marks while [Bb] Bruce Johnston became a lasting member.
[Eb] Meanwhile, Brian became [Ab] producer in addition to writing and singing so he was replaced on [Eb] tour.
These changes paid off as the Top 10 [Bb] success [Ab] continued with the albums [Abm] Surfer Girl and Little Deuce Coupe.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab]
Unfortunately, [Eb]
[Gb] [Eb] 1964's British [Bbm] Invasion [Ab] meant the Beach Boys' next record, Shut Down Vol.
2, only just made the [Gb] Top 20.
They [Eb] recovered with All [F] Summer Long which charted within the Top 5 and produced [Eb] their first number one [Ab] smash.
[F] [Bbm]
[Gb] [Eb] [Ab]
Then came their [F] first number one album, the live Beach Boys concert LP [Bbm] and a popular holiday effort.
[Gb] 1965's Today showcased Brian Wilson's creativity and studio experimentation.
[Bbm] Within months, Summer Days [Db] and Summer Nights yielded their second number [Ebm] one,
[Ab] [N] [Db]
plus one [Gb] of their best known songs.
[B]
[Dbm] [A]
[Bm] The [G] year ended with the cover heavy [Am] Beach Boys Party.
By [B] 1966, the band expanded into [Gm] psychedelic rock with [C] Pet Sounds.
[E] Featuring [Dm] intricate harmonies, diverse [Cm]
instrumentation and personal [Dm] themes,
the critically praised effort only [Am] reached the Billboard Top 10 but [Gm] later surfaced as a masterpiece of [C] pop and rock.
[F]
[Bb]
[Gm] That [Gb] same year, Good [B]
Vibrations was the band's third chart topper.
[Gb]
That stand-alone single [Ab] resulted from the [Db] unsuccessful recording sessions between Brian and Van Dyke Parks for [Ab] Smile.
However, [Bb] that project [Ebm] was cancelled due to Wilson's drug problems, [Bb] band tensions and label issues.
Instead, the Beach Boys released the dud, Smiley Smile.
1967's The Beach Boys released their third single, Smile.
Brian's Wild Honey fared slightly better, but the next year's Friends barely made a dent.
Meanwhile, as Brian's health worsened, other members assumed writing and producing duties to release 2020 before decades end.
Changes in the early 70s meant a new lineup and label.
[Eb] Despite their experimentation with different sounds and styles,
the Beach Boys' albums of this period [Ab] mostly failed to [Bb] recapture their earlier triumphs.
Things improved mid-decade.
Their concerts sold out and their former label released [F] two successful Best Of compilations,
including the chart [G]-topping Endless Summer.
Brian [C] Wilson featured more prominently on their [F] next two LPs,
but substance abuse and personal problems continued [Gm] affecting him and [A] other members.
I wanted [D] to be part of it again, share with it [G] and experience [A] people.
I wanted to [D] experience people [Gbm] and make money, of course.
[C] Leading into the 1980s, the [D] Beach Boys released one lackluster effort [Gm] and two [C] Bruce Johnston-produced albums.
However, tragedy struck in 1983 when Dennis Wilson [F] drowned.
The group pressed on and modernized their sound with an eponymous CD in 1985.
[C] Three years later, the boys were back on top with the Grammy-nominated [F] Kokomo off the Cocktail soundtrack.
[C]
[A] Brian
[Dm] [G]
[C] Wilson released his first solo album while being treated for his [Fm] drug and [F] mental problems.
After the group dropped their last two records of completely new material,
[C] the Beach Boys contributed to the Problem Child [Gb] soundtrack, made their own movie and TV appearances,
[Em] [Gb]
[Dbm] [Gb]
and even ventured into [B] country pop.
Sadly, cancer took [Gb] Carl Wilson in 1998.
Mike Love and Bruce [Db] Johnston kept the Beach Boys' [B] name alive while compilations were [Gb] released and other members pursued solo projects.
In 2012, the surviving Beach Boys celebrated their 50th anniversary with a world tour,
and [G] the disc That's Why God Made the [C] Radio.
[Am] [Gm] [E] The Beach Boys' songs about girls, surfing and [A] fun made them an American institution.
[B] But their [E] talents for elaborate pop harmonies, [A] combined [E] with Brian Wilson's production skills, produced some of our most enduring songs.
[Abm] [A] The [B]
[E] [A] Beach Boys [Ab] sure left [B] us with some good vibrations, and [E] that's why their music will [A] survive forever.
