(Courtesy: Disney+ &quot;The Beach Boys&quot;)</div>&quot;It&#x27;s the fruition of a family tradition,&quot; said Love, &quot;which was getting together and singing and harmonizing. Mom and her brothers and sisters — Murry, the father of Brian, Dennis, and Carl — came from Kansas. He added: &quot;They actually camped on the beach for a while before they found a home. There was no money but what they had was a love of music.&quot;For filmmaker Frank Marshall, the inspiration to tell the story of the Beach Boys comes from a place of lifelong admiration.&quot;The reason [they] have hung in there all these years is because their music connects to people,&quot; Marshall said. &quot;It&#x27;s about joy and hope and the light. It&#x27;s about the good side of things. It makes people happy to hear their music.&quot;The Beach Boys has fans all over the world including from the Philippines, where they have performed and still remember the audience’s response to them.They also had a Filipino-American musician on their team, Billy Hinsche, who passed away in 2021.&quot;How fantastic the Philippine audience was and how nice the people were,&quot; Love recalled. &quot;They&#x27;re really, really nice.&quot;Referring to their legacy, Love said he is proudest that their music became part of people’s lives.He also shared the Beach Boys lyrics that mean the most to him now — the line which goes, &quot;I&#x27;m picking up good vibrations, she&#x27;s giving me excitations.&quot;&quot;That song evokes such positivity when we perform it,&quot; Love said. &quot;In fact, a psychologist in Sheffield, England researched a bunch of songs with 2500 people and they found that &#x27;Good Vibrations&#x27; came in at Number One for making people feel good.&quot;&quot;The Beach Boys&quot; can now be seen on Disney+.
