The Leiber & Stoller Autobiography

In 1950 a couple of rhythm and blues-loving teenagers named Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller met for the first time.
Leiber was looking for someone to help compose music for lyrics he'd written, and a friend recommended a piano player named Mike Stoller.

QUOTES:

[edit] Dubious References
I'd like to call to attention the over-reliance on "Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story" as a primary reference in this article. The book is dubious at best, has been called "garbage" by Wilson himself on numerous occasions, is very landy-biased, was almost completely ghost written, and borrows heavily from "Heroes and Villians: The True Story of the Beach Boys" (which is a FAR better source for this kind of information). Someone really ought to re-do this page so that it cites Wouldn't It Be Nice far less. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.127.114 (talk) 01:10, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mid Career Brings Changes
The sentence from this section of the article which I have copied below, is confusing. Perhaps it could be rewritten or broken into two sentences to reduce the confusion. I don't want to rewrite it, because I am still not sure exactly what it is saying.
"Continuing with Fataar and Chaplin, and percussionist Kevin Michaels who played on "Sail on Sailor" and "The Trader" 'Holland' (recorded in 1972 and released in 1973) was more successful, perhaps one of the most important albums which show that the band can produce very contemporary songs with wide appeal." Rhogskin 14:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I removed the part about Kevin Michaels (who?), but it could probably use some more cleaning up. MookieZ 06:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikification
Hi there.
I've done a bit of work on editing The Beach Boys' albums, and I've Wikified all of the album titles.
I know one of the guidelines is that you should only include the word "album" in the Wiki quicklink if it is necessary. My personal discretion has told me that because some of the albums which are included in the discography (inclusive of Surfin' Safari, Surfin' USA, Little Deuce Coupe.. etc) are also song titles by the same band, I have included the word Album within the Wiki quicklink.
I hope this is helpful. I will do some Album write-ups as soon as I have fully studied the "How to".
What about Stack-o-Tracks? It's a valid album, although whether it constitutes a compilation or not I don't know -- WhichOne'sPink? 19:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The seminal line-up of this celebrated US pop band comprised brothers

Brian Wilson (b. 20 June 1942, Hawthorne, California, USA),

Carl Wilson (b. 21 December 1946, Hawthorne, California, d. 6 February 1998, Los Angeles, California, USA) and

Dennis Wilson (b. 4 December 1944, Hawthorne, California, USA, d. 28 December 1983),

their cousin Mike Love (b. 15 March 1941, Baldwin Hills, California, USA),

and school friend Al Jardine (b. 3 September 1942, Lima, Ohio, USA).

When the aforementioned quintet formed a casual singing group in Hawthorne in summer 1961, they unconsciously created one of the longest running, compulsively fascinating and bitterly tragic sagas in popular music.

1. Their “Pet Sounds” album ranked #2 on Rolling Stone magazine’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” after the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper,” which Paul McCartney said was influenced by “Pet Sounds.”
2. Mike Love studied transcendental meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India in 1967 and was soon followed by members of the Beatles. Love says he’s meditated every day since and that meditation helps sustain him through the rigors of touring.
3. On July 4, 1985, the Beach Boys played concerts in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., serenading almost 2 million fans on that single day.
4. The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
5. The band’s first song was recorded under the name of the Pendletones. The name was changed to the Beach Boys without the band’s knowledge by a young record-label publicist. When band members got the first pressing of the record they were furious, but the tight budget made reprinting the labels impossible, so they adopted the name.
6. Dennis Wilson was the only member of the Beach Boys who surfed; he asked his brother Brian Wilson to compose songs about the relaxed lifestyle of surf culture.
7. Love and the Wilson brothers listened to Johnny Otis’ R&B radio show when they were teens. Otis later moved to Sonoma County and hosted a show on KPFA.
8. The Beach Boys’ first performance was New Year’s Eve, 1961, at a concert with Ike and Tina Turner in Long Beach. The band members earned $50 each.
9. Love’s first recollection of hearing his cousin Brian Wilson sing was when Brian was 7 or 8 and sang “Danny Boy” on their grandmother’s lap.
10.. The Beach Boys mark their 50th anniversary in 2011. They’re scheduled to play at an event honoring Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday in February 2011.

After Pet Sounds Brian Wilson became the mad genius of the Beach Boys, a prodigy who had miraculously emerged out of the surf and car culture of southern California.

He was an American kind of prodigy, a tinkerer and visionary like Edison, someone who could spin magic out of thin, sweetened air.
