Brian Wilson was the first pop artist to ever be credited for writing, arranging, producing and performing for their own material. In 1962 this was HUGE. There will never be another Brian Wilson . RIP pic.twitter.com/tWcbEDFiCE

An American icon. He changed the landscape of an entire genre while creating his own. He made every living artist up their game. He made you feel a season.

Dude was a musical genius, way ahead of his time with so many hits with the Beach Boys, and solo work.
God Only Knows, he made his mark here. pic.twitter.com/EragwjjfUI
