艺人介绍

by Jason AnkenyCalifornia surf band the Sunrays was organized in 1964 by producer Murry Wilson following his dismissal as manager of his sons group, the Beach Boys; organized around singer/songwriter/drummer Rick Henn, a friend of Beach Boy Carl Wilson, the lineup also included guitarists Eddie Medora and Byron Case as well as pianist Marty DiGiovanni, all three of whom previously recorded as the Snowmen. Completing their sound with bassist Vince Hozier, the Sunrays signed to the Tower label and soon issued their debut single, Outta Gas; its 1965 follow-up, I Live for the Sun, was the bands breakthrough hit, reaching the US Top 50. Andrea was an even bigger hit, serving as the title track of the groups 1966 debut LP; although Still was also successful, subsequent singles including I Look Baby I Cant See and Hi, How Are You? met commercial resistance, and in the wake of 1967s Loaded With Love the Sunrays disbanded. Henn later went on to compose material with Brian Wilson.
