November 5, 1988 –
The Beach Boys’ (except for Brian, whose therapist Eugene Landy wouldn’t let him participate, but that’s another story,) single, Kokomo goes to No. #1 on the Billboard charts, on this date.
Brian Wilson was the creative force behind The Beach Boys, but he had nothing to do with this song. He released his first (self-titled) solo album that year and came out with the first single, Love And Mercy, three weeks before this was released. The album peaked at #54 in America.
