Their distinctive vocal harmonies have earned them great recognition. The band is matchless by any other American rock band as far as sale of singles and albums are concerned.

The act first gained popularity as the musical spokesmen for surfing, girls, and cars, but they were successfully transformed into a more artistically innovative combo by their chief composer Brian Wilson's growing creative ambitions.

The group had to experience a stormy career with Brian Wilson's mental illness, drug addiction, and eventual withdrawal from the group; the deaths of Dennis Wilson and Carl Wilson in 1983 and 1998 respectively; and continuing legal battles among surviving members of the group. These happenings led to many changes in both musical style and personnel of the band. After Carl Wilson's death, Mike Love fired the founding member Al Jardine. However, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston continue to officially tour as The Beach Boys after leasing the rights to the name from Brother Records.

Early years
The group was formed in 1960. Wilsons' musician father, Murry and the close vocal harmonies of groups such as The Four Freshmen were the early inspirations of the group. The group heavily relied on Brian Wilson right from the beginning.

Initially, the group performed as The Pendletones. The heavy wool jacket-like shirts were worn by the band in their earliest performances. These were favored by surfers in the South. The Beach Boys began wearing white pants and candy-striped button-down shirts as their touring uniforms in 1962,. The shirts had blue/gray and white stripes, a vertical front opening with buttons, short sleeves, a button-down collar, and a front patch pocket on the left. This was the band's signature look through 1966.

Brian's innovations and personal difficulties

Therefore, he withdrew from touring and focused his attention entirely on songwriting and record production.Wilson was replaced by Glen Cambell on tours. He could not continue with the group for a long time. He left the group after his own career success.

Brian was encouraged by Jan & Dean to use session musicians in the studio. Jan & Dean were the close friends with the band and opening act for them in concert in 1963 and 1964. This, along with Brian's withdrawal from touring, enabled him to expand his role as a producer.

Wilson made greater experimentation behind the soundboard in 1965. There was less focus on guitars, more emphasis on keyboards and percussion, as well as volume experiments and increased lyrical maturity in the album Today!
