Brian Wilson and Elvis Presley

Beach Boys' Brian Wilson has died aged 82 - June 11, 2025 |
Brian Wilson, the musical visionary who captured the optimism of the early 1960s as leader of The Beach Boys and crafted some of the most adventurous pop music of all time has died, on June 11 2025 aged 82
Brian Wilson is widely considered one of the most gifted singers, songwriters, and producers in the history of American pop music. The Beach Boys topped the charts and achieved global acclaim with hits like 'Surfin’ U.S.A', 'I Get Around', 'Good Vibrations', 'Don't Worry Baby' and 'God Only Knows'.
In the middle of the '60s, inspired by the ambition of The Beatles, Wilson also produced the landmark concept album 'Pet Sounds.'
Wilson's innovations in the studio led to greater recognition of pop music as a worthy art form. He was one of the first singer-songwriters and producers to be referred to as an auteur / genius and heralded for his fierce creative control and personal vision.
Beach Boy's Mike Love paid tribute to Wilson...
"Today the world lost a genius, and I lost a cousin by blood and my partner in music.
Brian Wilson wasn’t just the heart of The Beach Boys — he was the soul of our sound. From the first time we sang together as kids in my living room, I knew there was something otherworldly in him. His musical gifts were unmatched.
The melodies he dreamed up, the emotions he poured into every note—Brian changed the course of music forever.
Brian, you once asked, 'Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older?' Now you are timeless.
May you rest in the peace you so deeply deserve, surrounded by the heavenly music you helped create.
May your spirit soar as high as your falsetto, may your wings spread in effortless flight."
There are also a few Elvis connections.
A large number of Beach Boys records were produced by Brian Wilson using LA’s “Wrecking Crew” musicians. These included several musicians – such as drummer Hal Blaine, pianist Don Randi, guitarists Mike Deasy, Tommy Tedesco etc – who had also worked with Elvis on his Hollywood sessions, as well as his ’68 Comeback Special.
Brian Wilson would often record the backing-tracks for The Beach Boys releases at ‘Western Recorders’ where Elvis also recorded his “Comeback Special” and ‘Live A Little, Love A Little’ sessions.
One of Elvis' best friends Jerry Schilling would later become the Beach Boys manager.
The 1986 special event 'The Beach Boys: 25 Years Together' recorded in Hawaii would be directed by Marty Pasetta (of 'Aloha From Hawaii' fame) with executive producer Tom Hulett who was Elvis' tour manager.
Brian Wilson was honored with two Grammy Awards, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

See a detailed obituary here - '20 June 1942 - 11 June 2025' R.I.P Brian Wilson - True legend
| There are also two Beach Boys songs that mention Elvis.
1964's 'Do You Remember?'
"Elvis Presley is the king, He's the giant of the day, Paved the way for a rock 'n' roll star"
and 1986's 'The Spirit Of Rock & Roll..
"You know Chuck, Buddy and Elvis, Were first to pave the road, The roots are deep inside us" |

1975 - Brian Wilson meets Elvis Presley.
Jerry Schilling would later become The Beach Boys manager and he was also at RCA Studios on Sunset Boulevard when Brian Wilson walked into one of Elvis' 1975 rehearsals!
Schilling explains, “I was with Elvis at RCA studios in LA as he rehearsed with the band for his March 1975 Hilton engagement. Things were moving along quite well but suddenly the studio doors flew open and in walked a huge, bearded, sloppily dressed guy. There was always plenty of security around the studio on Elvis nights, so it startled everybody that such a big, strange guy could have got into the place. Before anybody had a chance to react, the big guy walked right up to Elvis and said, “Hi, I’m Brian”.
Elvis said “hello”, not having any idea who Brian was. I could tell Elvis was angry with us as he did not like anybody interrupting his recording or rehearsal sessions. This guy was big and burly, but gentle and childlike too, and I know Elvis sensed something special about him.

This guy was big and burly, but gentle and childlike too, and I know Elvis sensed something special about him. Just about anybody else that walked into Elvis’ studio like that would have been be promptly thrown out. But Elvis let Brian stay. He did know what to make of him, but he gave him his full attention."
... For the rest of the night the most brilliant talents in rock'n'roll would be working together side-by-side in the same building but in separate studios."
EIN Note: As you can see, in 1975 Brian Wilson looked nothing like his image of being a 'Beach Boy' and anyone could understand why Elvis would have no idea who this bearded person was!
In Brian Wilson’s biography ‘Wouldn't It Be Nice: my own story’ he tells his own version of meeting Elvis.
... I wanted to meet Elvis. Why not?
Bruce invited me and several of the other guys to RCA Studios where Terry Melcher was producing a group doing a cover of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?"
|
 |
Down the hall Elvis was recording the soundtrack to one of his movies (EIN Note: It was actually Elvis' sessions for his 'Today' RCA album) and word had been sent that he wanted to meet me. I was as big an Elvis fan as anyone.
After a couple of hours in the studio, word arrived: Elvis was ready. Several bodyguards preceded him, checked the place out, and drawled a few Memphis-intoned "How yew'll doin'?"
Then Elvis sauntered in, laid back, quiet, flashing a sheepish grin. He was introduced around the room, then to me. I seemed to impress him.
"I've heard a lot about you," he said, extending his hand for me to shake. "How yew doin', Duke?"
I wondered why he called me Duke, then figured Elvis was a joker. I knew he was a black belt. Hmmm. I decided to try some humor of my own out on him. Instead of shaking hands, I whipped around and feigned a karate chop and a kick, aiming both at Elvis's gut. Reacting with sharp reflexes he raised a forearm to block and stepped backward.
I broke up but he didn't crack a smile.
"Hey, Man" he said. "Don't do that".
"Just kidding" I smiled. "Nice to meet you. How're You doing?"
"Okay, I guess," he said. "But I'm a little concerned about you Duke."
There was some nervous laughter, but it subsided as as Elvis and I began talking about music. I told him about having recorded parts of "Good Vibrations" in this particular studio and he told me about recording in the South. After a few minutes, we ran out of things to talk about and decided to fill the awkwardness with another joke. Jumping up from my chair, I threw another karate chop his way. |
Elvis wasn't amused. He drew back in his chair, got up, and shook his head. I was the only one in the room laughing.
"I told you not to do that" Elvis snapped, motioning for his entourage to follow.
He was already out the door when he said "Let's go boys".
EIN Note: If Elvis did call Brian "Duke" it would no doubt be a reference to 'Duke' Kahanamoku the celebrated Hawaiian surfer.

The TCB Band's James Burton also worked with the LA's 'Wrecking Crew' and would play on the Beach Boys recording sessions. These included their 1969 album '20/20' - which produced the hit singles 'Do It Again' and 'I Can Hear Music' - as well as their 1970 album 'Sunflower'.
It is possible, perhaps likely, that James Burton's presence at Elvis' 1975 RCA sessions was the reason why Brian Wilson so easily ended up getting into the studio to meet Elvis.
There is a theory that Brian Wilson met James Burton in the studio corridor and asked Burton to introduce him to Elvis. |
 |
By late 1976 Jerry Schilling was working as a tour manager with the Beach Boys, he was also the manager for The Sweet Inspirations.
The Beach Boys’ Carl Wilson was also Best Man at Schilling’s wedding and would become one of Jerry Schilling's best friends. When Elvis died it would be Carl Wilson and his wife who comforted Schilling when he heard the terrible news. In a strange twist it would then be Jerry Schilling who would comfort Brian Wilson when he heard about Elvis’ tragic death.
PS: In another odd coincidence both Jerry Schilling and Tom Hulett were key players in getting Brian Wilson help with psychologist Dr Eugene Landy. In his biography Wilson wrote..
... After some discussion, Dr. Landy agreed to meet with their manager Tom Hulett, Jerry Schilling and several others. Hulett and Schilling gave Landy a frank assessment of my condition and wanted to know if he could treat me again.
Hulett said, "I'm scared. I've been through it with Elvis, and I fear picking up the paper one weekend and seeing Brian Wilson as the next headline."

Beach Boy's Mike Love wrote the lyrics to some of the all-time classics in pop history including, 'Good Vibrations,' 'Fun, Fun, Fun,' 'I Get Around,' 'Surfin’ Safari,' 'Help Me Rhonda,' 'Do It Again,' and 'California Girls.'
Mike Love has always acknowledged that the Beach Boys were influenced by rock'n'roll and Elvis - and has visited Graceland. The Beach Boys also performed on the Graceland Soundstage in 2021.
Mike Love was asked about the Beach Boys and Elvis Presley...
“The acts that got me interested in music was firstly Chuck Berry and then also a number of doo-wop groups, but I also liked The Kingston Trio, as a matter of fact our song “Sloop John B” was originally recorded by The Kingston Trio.
But I really loved R&B, the blues, rock and roll … Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard and all those really raw energetic rock and roll tunes. Of course Elvis has some great stuff too. The Everly Brothers were a big influence on us because their blend was so great. Brian and I used to sing the Everly Brothers style all the time.
In fact we met Elvis a couple of times. Once we did a recording session out in Hollywood and he was in the next studio over.
|
 |
We were talking with him about touring because he was getting ready to go back out of retirement and go on tour.
Then another time we caught up with him at the Hilton Hotel in Vegas. Elvis was a really nice man, he couldn’t be nicer, a guy’s guy you know? He was Elvis all the way." |
And not to forget that Jerry Schilling also organised the 'This Is Elvis - The Lost Theme Song' that was written and recorded by Beach Boys Carl Wilson and Sweet Inspirations Myrna Smith.
One of the well-known names involved with This Is Elvis was Jerry Schilling, who was hired as a Consultant on the film - and who was involved in getting the long-lost theme song written and recorded by Beach Boy Carl Wilson and Sweet Inspirations Myrna Smith.
Another delight of the story is to discover that Beach Boy Carl Wilson also had a great love of Elvis.

Elvis And The Vocal Group Tradition: Elvis Presley and doo-wop are not two phrases that normally go together. But, the vocal-group tradition was a profound part of the King's musical heritage, and the group sound's influence on Presley demonstrates the way the art form has infiltrated and informed pop music even if the sound is not visible on the surface.
But like blues, gospel and country, the vocal-group sound was where Elvis returned whenever he needed a shot of the real thing. It was a part of who he was.
Harley Payette sent this article on "Elvis and doo-wop" to EIN several years ago, asking for us to wait a while before we published it on-line. Today seems the right day to remember his insightful writing and thoughts about the music world that he so loved....
Go here as EIN contributor Harley Payette takes a fascinating look at this often over-looked Elvis musical influence...

'Elvis Meets The Beatles': An EIN spotlight on this famous night in 1965 when the Fab Four finally met the King. In 1965 The Beatles manager Brian Epstein initiated contact with Colonel Parker, and the decision was made that on the night of August 27, the Beatles would come to Elvis’ home for an informal get-together. Intensive security arrangements were worked out, and it was agreed that no press would be involved and no pictures would be taken or recordings made of whatever happened.
"So many things could have gone wrong," says Jerry Schilling, "If Colonel and Brian hadn’t gotten along, it wouldn’t have gotten past the phone-call stage. But there were no ego battles, and from the start it was approached as a pair of music greats coming together out of admiration for each other."
Piers Beagley and LA writer Chuck Crisafulli tell the story of this amazing night.

| How Elvis changed Tom Petty's life: Tom Petty is a well-known US singer and guitarist who has produced numerous hit singles such as 'American Girl', the #7 hit 'Free Fallin', the #12 hit 'I Won't Back Down', and a 1981 #3 with Stevie Nicks on 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around.' In 2002 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Elvis changed Petty's life when one summer morning in 1961, an 11-year-old Tom Petty sat on pine straw in his front yard, wondering how he was going to spend his day. By the end of the afternoon, he knew how he would spend his life. The difference made by that afternoon added another notch to rock 'n' roll history, and a tantalizing addition to Florida lore. For, by the end of the day, the young Petty would encounter none other than Elvis Presley, the swivel-hipped sensation who had already been crowned "The King of Rock 'n' Roll." And by that evening, the Gainesville youngster would be forever fascinated - and hooked - on rock 'n' roll. "I caught the fever that day and I never got rid of it," says Petty. "I learned all of those early Elvis songs, and having that kind of background in rock 'n' roll, of where it had come from, has served me to this day. It became an invaluable thing to have. So for that, I thank him." Click here to read the full story in our EIN spotlight. (Spotlight, Source; Gainesville.com) |

| James Brown and Elvis, soul-brothers and spiritual kin: Elvis was "The King of Rock and Roll", James Brown was "The Godfather of Soul" and both changed our musical world forever. But while many Elvis fans know only a little about James Brown, in many ways Brown was a spiritual kin to Elvis and understanding their careers is essential to comprehending the era they lived in, the music that they made and the lives they changed. In this fascinating article EIN’s Harley Payette & Piers Beagley check out their connections and the power of their music. (Source EIN, Jan 2007) |

| Influences on a Legend - Mario Lanza: "Elvis loved opera, and he especially liked Mario Lanza. He would watch The Student Prince which was set in Heidelberg, over and over again. He loved the power of the big voices. And he loved big orchestras. He liked real dramatic things." Marty Lacker's observation nicely captures the essence of this article where we look closely at how Mario Lanza influenced Elvis' music style. (Source: EIN) |
