Re: Jewish songwriters

[Alex J. Lubet <lubet001...>]

I stand corrected, but mystified.  I checked Jews Who Rock and it lists the
Wilson sisters (Brian's daughters, of Wilson Phillips fame) as Jewish and says 
in
the article on Wilson Phillips that Brian is Jewish, but it doesn't have an
article on Brian, the Wilson brothers (or their cousin Mike Love), or the Beach
Boys.  Can anyone enlighten me on this crucial element of Jewish music history
(kidding, of course, although I do enjoy the B-Boys).
