Murry Wilson

The Beach Boys consisted of three brothers, Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, along with a cousin and a friend. Their music featured harmonized vocals, carefree lyrics, and a radiant attitude that portrayed a sunny California vibe. However, behind the scenes, the group's father, Murry Wilson, was deeply troubled.

Murry Wilson's methods of getting his sons to perform were so disturbing that they could not be discussed here. Brian, one of the brothers, remembered his father as violent and cruel, sharing that Murry would respond with yelling or physical abuse whenever he felt afraid.
