But the small record label that released their debut single “Surfin’’,” produced by their manager father Murray and a nod to a new beach craze, renamed them The Beach Boys. \n\nBy the mid-1960s Wilson had written or co-written more than two dozen U.S. Top 40 hits, including the number-ones \"Surf City\" (1963), \"I Get Around\" (1964), \"Help Me, Rhonda\" (1965), and \"Good Vibrations\" (1966). \n\nIn 1964, Brian had a nervous breakdown and resigned from regular concert touring to focus on songwriting and production. This led to works such as the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and his first credited solo release, \"Caroline, No\" (both 1966), as well as the unfinished album Smile. \n\nBy the late 1960s, his productivity and mental health had significantly declined, leading to periods marked by reclusion, overeating, and substance abuse. \n\nWilson toured regularly as a solo artist from 1999 to 2022.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3592681,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3592681/?format=json","airdate":"2025-12-18T12:45:31-08:00","show":65410,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65410/?format=json","image_uri":"https://ia800208.us.archive.org/12/items/mbid-7a6b0e3a-2f6f-4136-ba71-4ee1145684fc/mbid-7a6b0e3a-2f6f-4136-ba71-4ee1145684fc-5355191904_thumb500.jpg","thumbnail_uri":"https://ia800208.us.archive.org/12/items/mbid-7a6b0e3a-2f6f-4136-ba71-4ee1145684fc/mbid-7a6b0e3a-2f6f-4136-ba71-4ee1145684fc-5355191904_thumb250.jpg","song":"Good Vibrations","track_id":"3dad0008-b337-3030-be0e-1be85cb88426","recording_id":"015969e3-4656-4f37-85b6-463689b99541","artist":"The Beach Boys","artist_ids":["ebfc1398-8d96-47e3-82c3-f782abcdb13d"],"album":"The Smile Sessions","release_id":"1bc13541-1212-40ea-85e6-1633a56e88f1","release_group_id":"7c402a15-f97f-42e3-a4da-408dc4621948","labels":["Capitol Records"],"label_ids":["abea2d3e-eabf-4480-ab24-9382dd642c73"],"release_date":"2011-10-28","rotation_status":null,"is_local":false,"is_request":false,"is_live":false,"comment":"Brian Wilson, who co-founded the iconic California band The Beach Boys and turned teen pop into a poetic, modernist musical, died on June 11th at the age of 82.\n\nWilson was born June 20, 1942 in Inglewood, California, a Los Angeles suburb. His interest in music was consuming and led the teenager to spend hours playing piano and learn the basics of composition and even sound engineering when the gift of a tape recorder found him overdubbing vocals with his brothers and mother.\n\nInspired by the vocal harmonies of groups such as the Four Freshmen, Wilson in the fall of 1961 formed a band with his brothers Carl and Dennis, cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}]}
