The Beach Boys are a pop music group formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961, whose popularity has lasted into the twenty-first century. The original group comprised singer-musician-composer Brian Wilson, his brothers Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Alan Jardine. Many changes in both musical style and personnel occurred in their sometimes stormy career, which has been marked by the mental and drug-induced illnesses of Brian Wilson, the deaths of Dennis Wilson in 1983 and Carl Wilson in 1998, and continuing legal battles among surviving members of the group. The Beach Boys continue to tour, albeit with but a fraction of the original members, as of 2005.

The Beach Boys Biography:

The Beach Boys were formed in 1961 by brothers Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson, with their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine. Their first single "Surfin'" was released on a local label, and made it to number 75.

The Beach Boys signed to Capitol Records in 1962. Jardine temporarily left and was replaced by Dennis Marks. Their debut album was Surfin' Safari, and the title track made the Top 20 and helped launch the surf-rock sound. Their follow-up, Surfin' U.S.A., was another hit and the title song became a hit in the UK as well. At this time, Marks left and Jardine returned to the group permanently. They continued to have a streak of hit albums including Shut Down, Surfer Girl, Little Deuce Coupe, Shut Down, Vol. 2 and All Summer Long, with five albums in the charts simultaneously at one point.

Brian Wilson compositions and arrangements were becoming increasingly sophisticated on Today! and Summer Days And Summer, and reached its peak on Pet Sounds. Ironically, Pet Sounds was The Beach Boys' first commercial failure in the US. It is hailed by critics and now commonly alternates with the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper in polls naming the greatest rock album of all time. Brian Wilson retired from performing live to concentrate on writing and recording. He was briefly replaced on tour by Glen Campbell, and then permanently by Bruce Johnston. The Beach Boys released one more single in 1966, the number 1 classic "Good Vibrations", but it was to be their last big hit for years. Brian Wilson began work on a never completed epic album, "Smile," that took up months of work. Stripped down re-recordings of some Smile songs appeared on their next album, 1967's Smiley Smile, and further select Smile songs appeared on Beach Boys albums up to 1971 including Wild Honey, 20/20 and Surf's Up. These album received mixed reviews and little commercial interest, but still remain popular with Beach Boys fans. Their 1973 album Holland included the hit "Sail on Sailor".

The Beach Boys experienced a resurgence in 1974 when the compilation Endless Summer became a surprise hit. It reached Number 1 and staying in the charts for over a year. The Beach Boys went back on the road, sans Brian Wilson, for a huge tour. A second compilation, Spirit Of America, was almost as big as Endless Summer. 1976's 15 Big Ones was their first album in three years containing new material. It also included a hit cover version of Chuck Berry's "Rock And Roll Music". Their follow up, The Beach Boys Love You, was reviewed as on of the group's best album in years. They released one more album on Capitol, 1979's M.I.U. Album and then moved to CBS, where they released the critical and commercial flops L.A. (Light Album) and Keepin' the Summer Alive.

In 1980, both Dennis and Carl left the Beach Boys for solo careers. Brian Wilson left as well in 1982. Dennis Wilson drowned in 1983 and his death brought the Beach Boys back together, even Brian now appeared on stage. They released one more CBS album, 1985's The Beach Boys, which included a Top 40 hit, "Getcha Back." The Beach Boys instead concentrated on touring and the occasional single.

In 1988, Brian Wilson began his solo career with a critically hailed self titled solo album. That same year The Beach Boys had their last hit, the huge Number 1 "Kokomo." They continued to tour for much of the nineties although cancer sidelined Carl in 1997 and Dennis Marks returned to the group for the first time since 1963. Carl died of cancer in 1998 and since his death there have been two touring bands: The Beach Boys led by Mike Love with Bruce Johnston; and Beach Boys, Family And Friends, led by Al Jardine with Brian's daughters Wendy and Carnie and Jardine's two sons.

Deaths of Dennis and Carl Wilson:

In the late 70s Dennis Wilson also began to suffer increasingly from drug and alcohol abuse, and some of the group's concert appearances were marred by Dennis and other band members being drunk or drugged on stage. The band were forced to publicly apologise after a shambolic performance in Sydney in 1979 during which several members of the group appeared to be drunk. In spite of of this condition Dennis managed to release his first solo work Pacific Ocean Blue, and to launch the now famed work in progess Bamboo, with friend and musician Carli Muñoz. Dennis's problems escalated in the early 80s and he accidentally drowned in 1983 while diving from his boat as he drunkenly tried to recover items he had previously thrown overboard.

Despite Dennis's tragic death, The Beach Boys soldiered on and they enjoyed a resurgence of interest in the 1980s, assisted by tributes such as the successful David Lee Roth version of "California Girls"; they scored their first #1 in twenty-two years with the song "Kokomo," which was featured on the soundtrack of the hit Tom Cruise movie Cocktail.

Members of the band appeared on sitcoms such as Full House (starring sometime drummer John Stamos) and Home Improvement in the 1990s, as well as touring occasionally, but their declining career contrasted dramatically with the massive public interest and rabid critical praise that followed Brian's gradual return to touring in the 1990s. The critically acclaimed documentary I Just wasn't Made For These Times was very important in restoring Brian's reputation, saw him performing for the first time with his now grown-up daughters, Wendy and Carnie, and included glowing tributes to Brian's genius from a host of major music stars of the '60s, '70s and '80s.

Tragedy struck the Wilson family again in 1998 when Carl Wilson died from lung cancer. Although Mike Love and Bruce Johnston continue to tour as "The Beach Boys", no other original members accompany them, and it has been generally accepted that with Carl's death, The Beach Boys had come to an end.
