- Murry Gage Wilson was an American musician and record producer, best remembered as the father of Beach Boys members Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, and Carl Wilson and the husband of Audree Wilson. Wilson was also the manager of their band the Beach Boys, and served as their music publisher. Wilson had a blue-collar background; as a young man, he worked at a Goodyear factory (where he lost an eye in an industrial accident), while unsuccessfully writing songs. His biggest success was with a dance song, "Two-Step Side-Step", which was featured by Lawrence Welk on his radio program and covered on record by RCA Victor Western Swing artist Johnnie Lee Wills. He also wrote songs recorded in the early 1950s by doo-wop group The Hollywood Flames. He later founded his own machining business, but maintained an active interest in music which he passed along to his sons, encouraging them to learn to sing and play instruments, and becoming their business manager, co-producer, and publisher in the early part of their career as the Beach Boys. On the heels of the band's early success, Wilson devoted himself to music full-time, producing and managing groups including The Sunrays in addition to the Beach Boys. Murry also released one album of his own, The Many Moods of Murry Wilson, in 1967. The Wilson brothers had a legendarily complicated relationship with their father. Many stories of alleged abuse have surfaced, including an incident where the elder Wilson hit Brian Wilson in the head with a 2x4, resulting in the permanent loss of hearing in his right ear. Known as a domineering and manipulative man, Wilson was a tough negotiator on behalf of the boys, earning them a contract with Capitol Records. However, his constant obsession over every detail of the group's appearance and sound, as well as diverging musical opinions (Murry was a traditionalist, while Brian wanted to move in more groundbreaking directions), as well as lingering resentment over his often abusive behavior towards his sons, soon led to estrangement. Brian relieved Murry of his management responsibilities in 1964, during a rare stand against him in a recording session. Audree also divorced him after learning of an infidelity, though they stayed in frequent contact. Murry later sold their publishing company, Sea of Tunes, in 1969, against the groups' wishes, and for a fraction of what it proved to be worth in later years. Brian Wilson has also suggested that his signature was forged by Murry on several related business documents, making the sale illegal. Mike Love also claimed later that Murry purposely left his name off the credits for many songs, including hits such as "California Girls" and "409" while running Sea of Tunes. Even after the Beach Boys ended their formal business relationship with Wilson, however, he continued to take an active interest in their careers, and continued to give them advice (both solicited and unsolicited), until his death. Murry co-wrote the single "Break Away", the last Beach Boys single of the 1960s, credited on the record label as "Reggie Dunbar". Murry died on June 4, 1973, after suffering a heart attack at the age of 55. He is buried in an unmarked grave in Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California. In a 2004 interview with the UK newspaper, The Independent, Brian Wilson recalled his father: Murry Wilson was portrayed in two television movies: in 1990's Summer Dreams: The Story of the Beach Boys, by Arlen Dean Snyder, and in 2000's The Beach Boys: An American Family, by Kevin Dunn.

Il était aussi l'impressario du groupe. Connu comme étant tyrannique et très violent à l'encontre de ses enfants, on lui impute la surdité d'une oreille de son fils Brian.
- Murry Gage Wilson, född 2 juli 1917, död 4 juni 1973, var musikproducent och far till de tre Beach Boys-bröderna Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson och Dennis Wilson. När Wilson arbetade på en fabrik ägd av den amerikanska däcksfabikanten Goodyear råkade han ut för en arbetsolycka och förlorade ena ögat. Samtidigt försökte han, utan framgång, skriva egna låtar. Hans största succé var dansmelodin Two-Step Side-Step. Efter att Murry blivit manager för The Beach Boys producerade han andra grupper som The Sunrays and The Honeys, vilka han också var manager åt. Murry Wilson är angiven som medkompositör (under pseudonymen Reggie Dunbar) tillsammans med Brian Wilson på The Beach Boys låt "Break Away" från 1969. Wilson avled till följd av en hjärtattack.
