"Brian Douglas Wilson (born June 20, 1942) wrote, sang, arranged and produced more than 2 dozen top 40 hits for his band the Beach Boys. Because of his unorthodox approaches to song composition and arrangement and mastery of recording techniques, he is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative and influential creative forces in popular music by critics and musicians alike."

Called a musical genius, by George Martin - producer of the Beatles, Brian Wilson is truly an American treasure.
