Bruce Johnston Clocks Up 50 Years In The Beach Boys

Bruce Johnston has clocked up 50 years performing with the Beach Boys.

Johnston joined The Beach Boys in 1965 replacing Glen Campbell. His very first recording with The Beach Boys was ‘California Girls’ in July 1965 but for contractual reasons he was not credited on a Beach Boys recording until the ‘Wild Honey’ album in 1967.

Bruce Johnston left The Beach Boys in 1972 to start a solo career. It was at this time he wrote ‘I Write The Songs’, the song covered and made a hit by Barry Manilow.

Johnston has remained a member of the Beach Boys since his return and is the only member along with Mike Love to have stayed with the band since the death of Carl Wilson in 1998.
