T2 WHATS UP! April 9 - 15, 2023 TV FEATURE BY SARAH PASSINGHAM TV Media O ne of the most leg- endary acts in American music his- tory celebrates 60 years of hits with a two-hour tribute, "A Grammy Salute to The Beach Boys," airing Sun- day, April 9, on CBS and Para- mount+. A star-studded list of performers plays Beach Boys No. 1s and beloved tracks to their honored guests, band members Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, David Marks and Bruce Johnston at the Dol- by Theater in Los Angeles. Drew Carey ("The Price Is Right"), Tom Hanks ("A Man Called Otto," 2022), Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Jimmy Jam and Elton John, producer and Recording Acad- emy CEO Harvey Mason Jr., iconic rock 'n' roller Bruce Springsteen and honorary Beach Boy John Stamos ("Big Shot") all make appearances in the concert special. Recipients of the Recording Academy Lifetime Achieve- ment Award, The Beach Boys defined the "California sound" of the 1960s with early songs and albums focused lyrically on themes of surfing, cars and oth- er teenaged pursuits, sonically appealing to the newly market- able youth class who were driv- ing culture and rebelling against their parents' tastes. "Surfin' U.S.A.," "409," "In My Room" and "Don't Worry Baby" highlight what the band be- came known for — songs about the joy and melancholic loneli- ness of being young with beau- tifully layered harmonies ar- ranged deftly by Wilson. In a news release for the special, CBS sums up the im- pact of The Beach Boys, say- ing, "Their music came to rep- resent California culture and provide fans around the world with a passport to experience love, youthful exuberance and surf culture." They differed from other surf rock bands at the time that had a more gui- tar-centric sound, and they also weren't trying to outpace the British Invasion.
