He always did. The Bee Gees, David Lee Roth (Van Halen) and even Paul McCartney were some of his biggest fans. Paul often said that Pet Sounds inspired Sargent Pepper. Also Diana Ross & Brian Wilson have so much in common, they both did The T.A.M.I. Show, American Bandstand and Ed Sullivan. Traci was getting into it but her Brother Ross was kind of perplexed. This year also marks a bittersweet time in both of their lives. Brian has a nervous breakdown in 1964, and that same week in a pretaped performance The Supremes make their national tv debut on Ed Sullivan. Now a whole new generation of fans are discovering Ed Sullivan's legacy. He, Dick Clark and Alan Freed did alot for black artists over the years.

Brian's genius and musical beauty is a distinct part of the soundtrack to my life!

There isn't a single musician of any worth who doesn't recognise Brian's extraordinary talent. It doesn't matter who you ask, whether it be mainstream pop, R&B stars or creators of heavy rock; they all place Brian on another level to themselves. Art Garfunkel called him the 'Mozart of Pop' and it's impossible to argue with that term of affection. When you get McCartney, Clapton, Elton John and Ronnie Wood et al all acknowledging Brian's immeasurable skillset in creativity then you have to buckle under the accolades bestowed upon him. It's that simple.

We had a boombox In our department to hear music and she always ask me to play “surfer girl” for her. She would go and place her hand right on top of the boombox to feel the rhythm of the song. It was heartbreaking to me and at the same time I learned to appreciate my senses more than ever thanks to her.

Brian's father Murry used to beat him and his brothers within an inch of their lives. Brian had a severe mental breakdown as an adult and couldn't get out of bed or write music for several years. He was then taken over, controlled and abused by his caretaker/therapist Eugene Landy and eventually had to be rescued from him through legal and family intervention. He lives today on an even keel only with the help of numerous and high doses of psychopharmaceutical drugs. On the other hand, he's also one of the most gifted musical composers of this or any time, and leaves other musicians from every generation in total awe of what he creates. Brian has retained that rare sense of childlike wonder and openness that characterized other geniuses like Mozart or Matisse or Einstein or St. Francis of Assisi. He's married to a beautiful woman who loves him deeply and has gladly given her whole life over to his care and safety. He's got a whole new set of children through Melinda , and a whole new generation out there becoming aware of his music, which will be remembered and played long after he and the rest of us are gone. A national treasure. All in all, Brian Wilson is the luckiest unlucky bastard on the planet.

Brian just have the divine spark of genuine music understanding, that's why a sophisticated pop album like Pet Sounds came out, if He would have started young in a classical music career we don't know what could have happenened, but most probably would be a great classic composer, with that talent + studying.

you are almost perfectly right, it was the abuse too but alot of it was the emotional abuse from his father. Brian Wilson has Divergent Personality disorder, if his family was supportive he might have been bipolar but his soul was metaphorically drained by his father and then his doctor so people can make him uncomfortable. it doesnt help that his cousin Mike Love was a constant bully and doubter. Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are two sides of the same coin and well although he constantly fought for what he believed in, since the pressure came from the one place you would expect support your family, so he crumbled. but he build himself back together with his new and true family, there is too much of a stigma toward mental disorders so people are so unclear on what it truly is and people or so opinionated on what they think it is...

I wonder if crossed Brian and Diana's mind that they had played on the same TAMi show way back in 1964.

Without Brian there wouldn’t be The Beach Boys he’s the geniuse I admire him because of all the abuse he had as child hood and then him giving up for awhile with drugs ect he got back up and it wasn’t easy with all that he faced in his life he got the courage. Of getting back up and move forward I’ve been a beach boy fan since I way 14 years old now I’m 57 years old and The Beach Boys will never fade love you all beach boys god bless keep it up no matter what thank You

The Beach Boys and especially Brian Wilson are probably one of the greatest things to ever come out of America.

NOTE: I post these videos for the enjoyment of anyone who cares to watch them. I do NOT post these videos to evoke negative and nasty comments. If you do not like what you see STOP WATCHING and do not ruin it for others. It's as if you nay sayers feel there's not it enough negativity in this world and you desperately need to add some more.

Michael Santanello agree with your outlook. But one has to watch it in its entirety to form an opinion. I watched it and left my opinion. That's art. Tell me at which point Brian looks like he's impressed.
@RamtownMike7 жыл бұрын
I never said Brian was impressed, although I do believe he was. Due to mental illness and quite a bit of drug abuse earlier in his life, Brian has issues and especially among large groups of people. So regardless, he is not going to react facially as you and I would. As far as watching the whole thing goes, it doesn't take viewing the entire piece or song, to know one doesn't like it.

@@RamtownMike Brian was particularly proud of the intro to CA Girls. Was it cut off in this video or did hooty and blowfish, (not sure the correct name of that band), just not play it?

Wud Dude - Hootie and the Blowfish simply skipped that intro for reasons only they know.

The first quarter I ever dropped into a juke box was to play "California Girls" in 1977. Words can't express how much his music means to me even after all these years.
