Re 49: If it helps, Brian Wilson was pretty much the sole creative mind for
Beach Boys. He drew on influences like Phil Spector ("wall of sound") and
George Martin (Beatles) to produce Pet Sounds. Afterward, he went on to write,
produce, perform the best-selling single in history. IMHO, most talented
artist of his time.
