Carl, Brian and Dennis Wilson, Hawthorne, California, 1953
BRIAN WILSON: As far back as I can remember, there’s been music in my life. All three brothers would sleep in the same room, and we used to harmonise in bed. We used to sing “Ivory Tower” written by Jack Fulton and Lois Steele, that was our special one. We developed a little blend, which aided us when we started to get into The Beach Boys stuff… When I taught my brothers harmony parts, Carl got it right away and he got it beautifully. He was our main man for vocals. Dennis took longer. I had to be patient with him.
