    "It's All About the Music!"

    Welcome to another in the Legends of Rock & Roll series.

    This is, like the others, really a mini-biography of one the greatest of American bands, The Beach Boys. To the author, it is the music that is the most important.

    The author has had a lifelong passion for the music of the Fifties and Sixties and Pop music in general. He enjoys listening to the music of rock and roll and enjoys writing about the people who created it. This series is his way of honoring the artists that have brought so much joy to our lives over the years.

    It is an unauthorized fan tribute.

    The Beach Boys has been writing and performing since 1961. They were raised in California (where else) and developed into the nations number
    one band. They appealed to the teenagers of the day by singing about sun, surf, cars and girls.

    The Beach Boys have had a rocky career and while the fame was hard on them at times, they became one of the most beloved bands in American
