The world of music laments the legendary pop music visionary Brian Wilson, who co-founded the Beach Boys and helped create the iconic “California Sound.”
Mick Fleetwood filmed the X and said, “Anyone with a musical bone in his body must be grateful for the magical touch of Brian Wilson’s genius!!”
He continued his post saying, “I am deeply saddened by this major secular loss”!!”
“My thoughts come to his family and friends,” he said before closing his message, “Mick Fleetwood and the Fleetwood Mac Family.”
Questlove paid tribute to Wilson in a Hartfelt post on Instagram. He said he discovered he had taken shelter to the Beach Boys “Pet Sound” album while trying to make it as an artist while in Europe. He often avoided the band, but his father said he was “shaking this afro” and liked the Beach Boys and the Beatles, who pumped the black fist of people from West Philadelphia.
“I know Orbison is the king of emo, but if there was anyone who made art out of sorrow that humans could not express, it would have been Brian Wilson,” he wrote. “I hate what he did through what he did to make this album (even my North Star, “Smile Outtakes”), but there are many people in him who felt safe to express the sense of sadness that most people are ridiculous/punished. ”
Musician Ronnie Wood touched on the rapid and successive loss of two musical pioneers.
“Yeah, Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in a week – my world is in mourning,” Wood said in X.
Personality Peter Rosenberg also mentioned this.
“Slystone and Brian Wilson who are dying the same week are really wild,” he wrote to X.
Sean, son of John Lennon and Yoko of Ono, said: “Everyone who really knows me knows how heartbroken I am about Brian Wilson’s passing. I felt so lucky to be able to meet and spend time with him. He was always very kind and generous. He was our American mosato.
“What a sad day and a sad week of music,” wrote Diane Warren. “Thank you for the song that lives forever. Write Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson, and sing forever, as you sing with the angels.”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honored Wilson in a three-part social media post.
“Thanks to the imagination, vision and production gifts of 1988 enrolled Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys reinvented the possibilities of pop music. Wilson combined his love for vocal group harmony with Chuckberry-style rock and roll to acquire California beach culture and expand Mymass with Mymass arrangements depicting sophisticated arrangements, defining “surf music” for the world. The museum said. “The success of the Beach Boys was before the Beatles (they won seven of their record-breaking top 40 hits before the Beatles hit the American charts), and classic compositions, including the groundbreaking 1965 “Pet Sound” album and “Good Bibrations” and “God Only Known,” are widely considered to be one of the best recordings of all time. ”
Wilson died of 82 last year after being diagnosed with dementia.
The Beach Boys are one of the most popular groups of the rock era, with over 30 singles in the top 40, with global sales of over 100 million. They were known for hits like “Good Vibration,” “California Girls,” and other summer anthems.
The 1966 album “Pet Sounds” was named No. 2 on the 2003 Rolling Stone List on the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” as Wilson previously did.
