 | | Love also wrote or co-wrote many of the Beach Boys hit lyrics, mostly for songs with the themes of surfing and love; the band's early car song lyrics were generally by Gary Usher or Roger Christian, although a lawsuit, the result of which is still controversial, established Love's composing credits on many of these hits. |
 | | Love was the lead vocalist for many of the early Beach Boys hits, including "Surfin'", "409", "Surfin' Safari", "Surfin' USA", "Little Deuce Coupe", "Fun Fun Fun", "Be True To Your School", "Little Saint Nick", "When I Grow Up To Be A Man", "I Get Around", and "California Girls". |
 | | Love's trenchant opposition to Wilson's new direction came to a head over the songs they were recording for their follow-up to Pet Sounds, the legendary SMiLE album, which was begun in mid-1966 but was eventually shelved in mid-1967. |
