Murry Wilson
July 2, 1917 – June 4, 1973
Murry Wilson was a songwriter, musician, record producer, and most importantly, the father of Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Wilson began as a songwriter during the ’50s, having a couple of his songs covered but never gaining much success. All the while, he was teaching his own sons how to write, sing and play music. The brothers eventually added cousin Mike Love and schoolmate, Al Jardine to become the Beach Boys. The Beach Boys would soon become one of the most popular bands in rock history by almost single-handedly defining a musical genre. While managing the boys’ career, Murry was known to be a fierce negotiator, and was reportedly just as ruthless at home. He and his sons had a tough relationship that may have actually fueled their creativity and drive. Murry Wilson died following a heart attack at the age of 55.
The life of people in the United States was not controlled by corporate criminals or their lawyers or the politicians whom where in their control.
In that era the success minded fathers, & mothers that strove to achieve a form of excellence from their children or lineage, without money, that no longer exists in the United States today.
I was born in 1960’s in the northeast, in the corrupt area of NY state, I felt it, I saw it, but never experienced it.
Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson will live in the annuls of American History. I believe it was Murray Wilson that made it all happen.
The Beach Boys gave a musical form of love to all the youth of that era!
Thank You, Murray Wilson, You achieved great success!
