In April 1965, Campbell’s own career success pulled him from touring with the group. Columbia Records staff producer Bruce Johnston was asked to locate a replacement for Campbell; having failed to find one, Johnston himself became a full-time member of the band. The June 4 vocal sessions for ” California Girls ” marked Johnston’s first recording session with the Beach Boys. “California Girls” was included on the band’s next album Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) . The first single from Summer Days had been a reworked arrangement of ” Help Me, Rhonda “, which became the band’s second number 1 US single in the spring of 1965.
