Blondie Chaplin Biography

Blondie Chaplin is one of the most popular and richest Member who was born on July 7, 1951 in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Both Chaplin and Ricky Fataar were members of Durban-based rock band The Flames, which they joined at ages 13 and 9, respectively. Their 1968 album Soulfire produced a hit in South Africa: the band’s cover of “For Your Precious Love” was #1 on white radio for thirteen weeks.

Chaplin, along with drummer Ricky Fataar, joined the Beach Boys when original drummer Dennis Wilson suffered a hand injury that left him unable to play the drums for almost two years. For the Beach Boys, it was a period in which long- time member Bruce Johnston had departed the band, and one-time leader Brian Wilson’s participation in the group was very limited. As a result, Chaplin and Fataar joined the Beach Boys as full-fledged members and not merely as backing musicians. Chaplin left the group in 1973 after a dispute with the Beach Boys’ management; Fataar remained with the band until the following year.

On September 29, 2017, Big Noise’s Al Gomes and Connie Watrous presented a plaque from Roger Williams University to Chaplin at The Zeiterion Theatre in New Bedford, MA. Chaplin’s response to the sold-out audience at the ‘Brian Wilson Presents Pet Sounds’ show : “I played a lot in these parts in 1971, and it’s nice to be remembered this way.” The plaque commemorates The Beach Boys’ September 22, 1971 concert at The Ramada Inn in Portsmouth, RI, now RWU’s Baypoint Inn & Conference Center. The concert was a very significant historic event in The Beach Boys’ career – it was the very first time Chaplin’s fellow member of The Flame’s Ricky Fataar played on-stage as a new member of The Beach Boys, which led to Chaplin joining the band, and essentially changed The Beach Boys’ live and recording act’s line-up into a multi-cultural group. This shifted the band into an essential and important creative period from 1971–1974 that included the recording of their stellar Holland LP, which Rolling Stone magazine named ‘Album of the Year.’
