Dennis Wilson: Pacific Ocean Blue

In 1977, Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue became the first solo LP to be released by a member of the legendary Beach Boys. It still stands as one of the great cult-classic albums of the 1970's and a crucial puzzle-piece in the Wilson family's long musical history. Voices of family, friends and colleagues help complete the picture of a complex artist.
