His partnership with Brian has few equals in American pop music, though Mike has carved out a legacy of his own-he cowrote the lyrics to eleven of the twelve original Beach Boy songs that were Top 10 hits while providing he lead vocals on ten of them. Love describes the stories behind his lyrics for pop classics such as "Good Vibrations," "California Girls," "Surfin' USA," and "Kokomo," while providing vivid portraits of the turbulent lives of his three gifted cousins, Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson. His own story has never been fully told, of how a sheet-metal apprentice became the quintessential front man for America's most successful rock band, singing in more than 5,600 concerts in twenty-six countries.
The Beach Boys, from their California roots to their international fame, are a unique American story-one of overnight success and age-defying longevity of musical genius and reckless self-destruction of spirituality, betrayal, and forgiveness-and Love is the only band member to be part of it each and every step. Now in paperback, the New York Times bestselling Good Vibrations tells the story of Mike Love's legendary, raucous, and ultimately triumphant five-decade career as the front man of the Beach Boys, the most popular American band in history.Īs a founding member of the Beach Boys, Mike Love has spent an extraordinary fifty-five years-and counting-as the group's lead singer and one of its principal lyricists.
