Starting in 1968, Love was a student of Transcendental Meditation (TM) under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and became a TM teacher in 1971. Love also had a significant role in the Beach Boys' vocal arrangements – particularly the doo-wop element in their sound.
During the mid-1960s, he was one of Brian's main collaborators, contributing lyrics to hit records such as " Fun, Fun, Fun" (1964), " I Get Around" (1964), " Help Me, Rhonda" (1965), " California Girls" (1965), and " Good Vibrations" (1966).ĭrawing inspiration from Chuck Berry and Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, Love's lyrics primarily reflected the youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance, which helped fashion pop culture's perception of the " California Dream". Characterized by his nasal tenor and occasional bass-baritone singing, Love has been one of the band's vocalists and lyricists for their entire career, contributing to each of their studio albums and serving as their frontman for live performances. Michael Edward Love (born March 15, 1941) is an American singer and songwriter who co-founded the Beach Boys with his cousins Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson and their friend Al Jardine.
