beach boys god only knows
The Beach Boys are an American rock band, formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California. The group was initially composed of brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. Managed by the Wilsons’ father Murry, The Beach Boys signed to Capitol Records in 1962. The band’s early music gained popularity across the United States for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a Southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance. By the mid 1960s, Brian Wilson’s growing creative ambition and songwriting ability would dominate the group’s musical direction. The primarily Wilson-composed Pet Sounds album and “Good Vibrations” single (both released in 1966) featured a complex, intricate and multi-layered sound that was a far cry from the simple surf rock of The Beach Boys’ early years. However, Wilson would soon lose control of the band due to mental-health and substance-abuse issues. Subsequently, although it released a number of popular albums (in various musical styles, with different line-ups) in ensuing years, the group never managed to reclaim its mid-’60s peak when The Beach Boys briefly challenged The Beatles both in terms of commercial and critical appeal. Since the 1980s, there has been much legal-wrangling among the group members over royalties, songwriting credits, and use of the band’s name. While The Beach Boys released their last studio album in 1996, a number of versions of the band, each fronted by a surviving …

The Shirelles :::::: Boys.
Mar 27, 2012 Oldies Music
The Shirelles were an American girl group in the early 1960s, and the first to have a number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. The members of the quartet were Shirley Owens (the main lead singer; later known as Shirley Alston, then Shirley Alston Reeves), Doris Coley (later known as Doris Kenner, then Doris Jackson; who sang lead on “Dedicated to the One I Love”, “Welcome Home Baby”, “Blue Holiday” and a number of B-sides and album cuts), Beverly Lee, and Addie ‘Micki’ Harris McPherson. The quartet formed in New Jersey in 1958, and went on to release a string of hits including “Baby It’s You” (written by Burt Bacharach/Mack David/Barney Williams), “Mama Said”, “Foolish Little Girl”, and the US #1 Pop hits “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” (Gerry Goffin/Carole King) and “Soldier Boy” (Florence Greenberg/Luther Dixon). Their “Sha La La” became an international hit when covered by the British group Manfred Mann, giving them a Top 5 hit in 1965, and the song “Boys” was covered by The Beatles. The Beatles also covered “Baby It’s You” on their album Please, Please Me in 1963. A year later, this same Burt Bacharach/Mack David song was also a Top 30 hit in the UK for Sheffield-born singer Dave Berry. The Shirelles were the first major female vocal group of the rock and roll era, preceding Motown as a crossover phenomenon with white audiences. Unlike The Chantels, who had had their first hit in 1957, they were successful in Britain, first and foremost with “Will You Love Me Tomorrow …
