As the creative brain behind The Beach Boys, he wrote rich, sweeping pop masterpieces that defined the 1960s. But behind all those legendary harmonies and studio magic was a soft-spoken, sensitive artist whose brilliance was deeply respected and fiercely looked out for by the people who knew him best.
In her autobiography Cher: The Memoir, Part I, the multi-hyphenate recalled the first time she met Wilson. She was first introduced to the musician at Gold Star Studios during a Phil Spector recording session in the 1960s.

She continued, "Painfully shy, he offered to play piano, but Phillip [Spector] passed, although he let Brian play the tambourine and sing backup on a few numbers. A tightwad, he'd enlist anyone if he didn't have to pay them."
The Oscar-winner concluded, "One day I was playing with the machine that punched letters into plastic tape for labeling equipment and decided to make Brian a bracelet. Because of my undiagnosed dyslexia, it came out as 'I Love You, Brain. It became our little thing and, by the way, he was the brain, with an amazing mind for music."
The song’s was inspired by Wilson’s favorite Spector tune, “Be My Baby” by The Ronettes. After he wrote “Don’t Worry Baby,” Wilson reportedly offered the song to Phil Spector for the girl group to record. However, Spector wasn’t interested.
During that meetup at Gold Star Studios, Cher and Brian Wilson formed a deep mutual respect and a lifelong connection. Being in the legendary studio allowed Cher to see his creative process up close long before the rest of the world fully understood his brilliance.
