Last Wednesday, June 11, 2025, two days ago, Brian Wilson, the legendary founder and leader of The Beach Boys, who dominated the charts in his country and much of the world back in the 1960s and 1970s, passed away in Inglewood, California.

Brian Wilson was a musical genius who brought freshness and liveliness to the band's songs, with incredible vocal arrangements and, above all, excellent melodies that permeated his compositions. Through the group's carefree, surf-centric image, he also helped spread good press and increase interest in Californian beaches and the lifestyle in this part of the world.

This composer's genius was, during his lifetime, slightly overshadowed by his mental health problems. But these days, music history is joyfully welcoming the legacy of this singer and composer, a long collection of songs that resonate around the world as hymns to happiness and self-confidence.
