Bruce Arthur Johnston (born Benjamin Baldwin; June 27, 1942) is an American singer, musician, and songwriter who is a member of the Beach Boys.He also collaborated on many records with Terry Melcher (his bandmate in Bruce & Terry, the Rip Chords, and California Music) and composed the 1975 Barry Manilow hit, "I Write the Songs".
But really, does the legal side of things actually matter? Fact is, David Marks left the band in late-1963. Bruce Johnston did sell his BMI shares when he left the group, and so did Dennis Wilson's estate after his death. And besides, he still has equal ownership of Wilojarston, the band's ASCAP publishing company.
