One note is all it takes for this preeminent surf-rock group to transform Wolf Trap into a California beach party with classic lyrics and peppy melodies—including “Surfin’ USA,” “Kokomo,” “Good Vibrations,” and “Fun, Fun, Fun.”

• The band’s earliest hits had a basic surf theme that helped shape the images of both the sport and the 1960s California youth culture.
• In 1988 the original five members—Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Wilson brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl—along with David Marks and Bruce Johnston were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
