The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful bands of all time. The band started in Hawthorn, California in 1961 and originally consisted of the Wilson brothers Brian, Carl, and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and school friend Al Jardine. 

The following year Al went to college and their neighbour David Marks joined; later that year they signed with Capitol Records and released their first album, Surfin’ Safari

In 1963 Al rejoined The Beach Boys and David left. The band changed AGAIN in 1965 after Brian stopped touring so he could focus on songwriting and producing for the group and Bruce Johnston joined to replace him.
