Rushton "Rocky" Pamplin (August 3, 1949 – December 10, 2022) was an American model who, together with Stan Love, was employed as a bodyguard and caretaker for the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson from 1977 to 1979.
Despite reports to the contrary,[3] there is no evidence that Pamplin played for the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, as his name appears nowhere on their rosters for the relevant period.
Pamplin sang lead vocals on the unreleased track "California Feelin'", a song written by Brian Wilson and Steve Kalinich.
He also co-wrote the song "It's Like Heaven" with Wilson and Diane Rovell for American Spring, which was later recorded by singer Shaun Cassidy for his album Under Wraps.
"[10] Dennis pressed charges, and in March, both Love and Pamplin agreed to a mutual restraining order.
