This item is an 8" X 10",black and white photo of musician Brian Wilson.Wilson formed The Beach Boys in the early 1960s with his brothers Carl and Dennis, his cousin Mike Love, and schoolfriend Al Jardine. Together with Love, Wilson authored a series of hit singles in the 1960s including "Surfin' USA", "Fun, Fun, Fun","God Only Knows ","I Get Around", "Help Me Rhonda", "California Girls", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", and "Good Vibrations". These songs and their accompanying albums were internationally popular, making the Beach Boys one of the biggest acts of their time. Wilson became known for his unique use of vocal harmonies, his trademark style of lyrics and incessant studio perfectionism. Early influences on Wilson's work included The Four Freshmen, Chuck Berry and Phil Spector. He also considered The Beatles to be his chief rivals, and they in turn would cite his work as a major influence. Wilson also produced records for other artists, but to much lesser success. He also co-wrote many of Jan and Dean's biggest hits during this period. In 1965, due to personal issues, Wilson stopped performing live with the Beach Boys and Glen Campbell was called in as a temporary replacement. Wilson then chose Bruce Johnston as a long-term replacement, who remains with the Beach Boys today. In 1966 he released Pet Sounds, which sold only modestly at the time, but has since become widely critically acclaimed and often cited among the all-time greatest albums. After Pet Sounds, "Good Vibrations" was released as a single, giving the Beach Boys their third U.S. number-one hit, after "I Get Around" and "Help Me, Rhonda", and selling over a million copies. Wilson then began work on a new album, originally called Dumb Angel but soon re-titled SMiLE, which he described as a "teenage symphony to God". A combination of resistance from within the group and Wilson's own growing personal problems led to the cancellation of the project in May of 1967. The hastily compiled Smiley Smile was released in its place, and the SMiLE sessions became the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend. For many years Wilson would refuse to even discuss the project, calling it "inappropriate music". He would ultimately complete SMiLE as a solo artist in 2004.The photo has been autographed on the front by Brian Wilson.............BOTH PHOTO AND AUTOGRAPH ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION................
