It rose to super stardom with hits like “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “California Girls,” “Good Vibrations” and its biggest hit, the 1988 release “Kokomo.”

The Beach Boys were honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy Awards and by VH-1, which named the 1966 album “Pet Sounds” the No. 3 album in rock ‘n’ roll history.

The Beach Boys performed in Beasley Coliseum in 1977 and 1980.
