Signed the year before the Beach Boys, who did not release any albums of new material between 1973-1976, would turn to former member and founder Brian Wilson, who wrote the songs for their 1976 album, 15 Big Ones. Despite their lack of new material, the Beach Boys embarked on a successful concert tour with Chicago in 1975. The groups sang each other's material, including their collaboration of Chicago's hit, "Wishing You Were Here", which they had released the previous year. HERB SPAR ran the Millard Agency in New York. The agency represented such acts as Billy Joel, Janis Joplin and the Holding Company and the Beach Boys. CHIP RACHLIN, a booking agent and manager, handled such acts as the Rolling Stones, Billy Joel and the Beach Boys. Rachlin later produced the 2001 special, An All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson. CARL DEAN WILSON (1946-1998) was the youngest of the three brothers who formed the original Beach Boys. Formed by brother Brian Wilson, the group also included brother DENNIS WILSON (1944-1983), cousin MIKE LOVE and college friend, Al Jardine (Jardine's name is listed on this contract but he did not sign). Their first song, "Surfin'", which captured the California scene, was released to popular reviews, and a string of hits, most written by Brian and Love, followed, including "California Girls", "Surfin' USA", "Surfer Girl", "Little Deuce Coupe", "Don't Worry Baby", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "God Only Knows", "I Get Around", "Help Me, Rhonda" and "Good Vibrations". The group's lead guitarist, Carl became a strong vocalist, singing lead on such songs as "God Only Knows" and "Good Vibrations". When Brian retired from the stage in 1965, Carl became the leader of the group. Carl, who released two solo albums in the 1980s before reuniting with the Beach Boys, also produced records for other artists. Diagnosed with cancer in 1996, he continued to perform through the Beach Boys' 1997 summer tour. Lightly creased with folds, not at signatures. Two file holes and staple holes at upper blank margins.
