Legacy
In a 2004 interview with the UK newspaper, The Independent, Brian Wilson recalled his father:
He was the one who got us going. He didn't make us better artists or musicians, but he gave us ambition. I'm pleased he pushed us, because it was such a relief to know there was someone as strong as my dad to keep things going. He used to spank us, and it hurt too, but I loved him because he was a great musician.
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.
Upon his death, Murry Wilson's signature eyeglasses were given by Dennis Wilson to friend Kathie Nagle, who later sold them to a private collector.
