Brian Douglas Wilson (born June 20, 1942) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer best known for being the multi-tasking leader and co-founder of the Beach Boys. After signing with Capitol Records in 1962, Wilson wrote or co-wrote more than two dozen Top 40 hits for the group. Because of his unorthodox approaches to song composition and arrangement and mastery of recording techniques, he is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative and influential creative forces in popular music by critics and musicians alike.
In the mid-1960s, Wilson composed, arranged and produced Pet Sounds (1966), considered one of the greatest albums ever made. The intended follow-up to Pet Sounds, Smile, was cancelled for various reasons, which included Wilson's deteriorating mental health. As he suffered through multiple nervous breakdowns, Wilson's contributions to the Beach Boys diminished, and his erratic behavior led to tensions with the band. After years of treatment and recuperation, he began performing and recording consistently as a solo artist. On the Beach Boys' 50th anniversary, Wilson briefly returned to record and perform with the group. He remains a member of their corporation, Brother Records Incorporated.

Plot: The story of Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys and how he found an intense singer/songwriter who he introduced to Hollywood. This musician was sure that one day he's be a household name. That musician did find fame, but not for his music... because that musician was Charles Manson. This project stems from our short film, "LIE" which was done for the Atlanta History Center and Minnesota Historical Society. The film was reviewed by historians and won the 1968 Film Competition's "Revelation Award" for revealing "unknown" history about what occurred in 1968.

Plot: Ordinary people find extraordinary courage in the face of madness. On 13-14 November 1990 that madness came to Aramoana, a small New Zealand seaside village. It came in the form of a lone gunman with a high-powered semi-automatic rifle. As he stalked his victims the terrified and confused residents were trapped in the village for 24 hours while a handful of under-resourced and underarmed local policeman risked their lives trying to find him and save the survivors. By dawn 13 people lay dead. This is a true story.

Brian Wilson's voice has changed a lot over the years. I split these changes into four phases. Phase 1: 1962-1975 Phase 2: 1976-1986 Phase 3: 1987-1997 Phase 4: 1998-Present *Update* I was recently made aware that "It's Not Easy Being Me," and the Phase 3 version of "Saturday Morning In The City" may be sped up in the versions I uploaded. Sorry about that, I had no idea!

Two giants in music history, especially in the 1960s and '70s. From "An All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson," which took place March 29, 2001 at Radio City Music Hall, in N.Y. A super summit get-together on one of the Beach Boys' great hits. Also see and hear Elton sing "God Only Knows" (click Video Response" below).
This documentary tells (using modern day interviews and archival footage and sound tapes) the story of how in 1967, while his band The Beach Boys triumphantly toured abroad, Brian Wilson was trying to push the boundaries of conventional pop music with a new follow-up to the Beach Boys' cutting-edge mega-hit, Pet Sounds. The new album was to be called "SMiLE". SMiLE pushed the envelope both musically and lyrically, and was supposed to out-do the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper record. But Brian wasn't able to sell the project to his band-mates when they returned. The project was shelved and Wilson's well-documented decline into depression, drug abuse, recluseness, and obesity had begun. Thirty-odd years later, Wilson announced that in 2004, SMiLE would be performed live in its entirety in London. This...

BRIAN WILSON - 04 09 2016 - PET SOUNDS - Southend-on-Sea UK
http://www.cbc.ca/q Feast your eyes and ears on this full length interview with Brian Wilson about a wide range of topics, including The Beach Boys, the creative process, drug use and his struggle with mental illness.
Lots of fans have done their own edits, so I know this is just one more. While I love Brian Wilson's 2004 re-recording of Smile, I am always finding myself switching over to the Beach Boys' Smile Sessions for certain tracks. I wanted to have my favorite arrangements all in one place, in order, mixed as seamlessly as possible. So I made this personal mash-up and took my favorite elements of Brian's 2004 version, and mixed them with what I think are the best parts of the Beach Boys' Smile Sessions. I always loved the superior orchestration and musical completeness of the BW 2004 versions, but also wanted some portions of tracks from the BB SS versions because of Brian's 1966 voice (and voices of the rest of the Boys), which he simply could not recapture in 2004. You will see that some t...

The new film "Love & Mercy" offers movie and music fans plenty of "good vibrations." The film chronicles the rhythmic rise of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys in the 60s, as well as his darker times in the 80s. In the early years, he's played by actor Paul Dano. The film also jumps ahead two years to see an older Wilson, played by actor John Cusack. "I feel like it was a great way to approach Brian and his story, and not just trying to do birth to present day," Dano said. The two actors, along with Elizabeth Banks, who plays Wilson's second wife Melinda, were all fans of the Beach Boys' music, but it's when they all dug a little deeper that they discovered so much more. "In terms of his true personal journey, his story, his challenges, I didn't know anything and he is such an amazing survi...

Part 1 of a very honest and revealing interview with the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, by Ross Porter for the CBC's On The Arts program, September 10, 1998.
Check out this interview in Brussels from cobra.be during the 2011 Gershwin tour. Brian looks like he has no idea what's going on during this painful interview. In his defense, the interviewer sounds unprepared and asks him some pretty terrible questions.
Rare and funny radio interview with Brian Wilson from 1967 to promote the Smiley Smile album which replaced the superior and unreleased Smile as the successor to the 1966' Pet Sounds.

Country feelins they're a-callin me
And brother I'm feelin' fine
Wanna cut loose from the city
Get out and run around
Country feelin's movin' in
My feet are dancin' in the hot sunshine
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town
Country feelin's at a county fair
And under a big blue sky
See those bright birds fly
Cotton candy and apple pie
Country feelin's puttin' me on top of the world
On this happy day
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town
Country, country feelin'
Country, country feelin'
Country, country feelin'
wo wo oh-oh
Country feelin's they got me sittin'
Right there in a rockin' chair
On a porch outside with a cold lemonade in the
Clean fresh air
Stand up tall be proud of yourself
And you just step out there
I'm gonna spread those country feelin's all around the town
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town
I'm gonna spread that country feelin' all around the town
