The Beach Boys Surfer Girl

With a career spanning 55 years, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Beach Boys have sold more than 100 million records, charted over 80 songs worldwide, had 36 U.S. Top 40 hits, and are widely recognized as one of the most critically acclaimed and influential bands of all time. The second of three albums the Beach Boys released in 1963 alone, Surfer Girl found Brian Wilson looming larger than ever in the songwriting department and handling 100% of the production duties for the first time. Home to the hit title track ballad and hot rod shuffle "Little Deuce Coupe," Surfer Girl made it crystal clear that the Beach Boys had officially become the preeminent American band of the 1960s.
