Singer and band co-founder Mike Love gave Dori Monson Show listeners a sneak peek into the history of one of their early – and perhaps still most successful – songs and how, at age 81, Love doesn’t intend to stop singing any time soon.
Six decades after first launching as the “Pendletones” a few miles from the California coast, the iconic band — soon better known as The Beach Boys — is still at it with a Labor Day concert planned Monday at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup.
Love recalled skyrocketing onto the music scene in 1962 with “Surfin’ Safari” at a time when the new “California sound” of beach life, cars, and young romance was driving the music industry. With his cousins Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson and friend Al Jardine, Love’s melodies and lyrics helped The Beach Boys score more than 36 songs on the U.S. Top 40; four of these hits topped Billboard’s Hot 100.
Brian Wilson, meanwhile, “was the master of harmonies,” Love said. “There is no question about it. He took to production like a duck to water.” With all their success, Dori wondered, what’s the relationship now between Love and Brian Wilson? Do the two men talk?
