Wilson splits with father as Beach Boys record #1 hit

Today's music comes from 50 years ago today. The Beach Boys began recording "I Get Around" a song which would become their first number one hit in the U.S. It was also during this recording session that Brian Wilson fired his father Murry as the band's manager. The two would continue to have a contentious relationship. In 1969, without Brian's knowledge, Murry Wilson sold the publishing rights to the entire Beach Boys back catalog of songs.
