The family heritage is mixed, his mother, Josie, was first-generation Swedish, while his father was of Welsh and Irish descent.

In 1960, Wilson's mother, Josie, encouraged them to record a cover of Chet Atkins' instrumental version of Johnny Smith's composition "Walk, Don't Run".

The lineup at the time consisted of Wilson, Bogle, Edwards and Howie Johnson (drums), before Johnson was replaced with Mel Taylor, however on "Walk-Dont Run" and the B side "Home", Skip Moore,a local drummer played drums.

"Walk, Don't Run" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and has been described as what "started a whole new movement in rock & roll" by John Fogerty.
