The Ventures första stora hit kom 1960 med "Walk Don't Run". Gruppen gjorde sedan instrumentala versioner av kända låtar och covers på många av dåtidens TV-seriers vinjetter, exempelvis Batman och Hawaii Five-O.
Gruppen valdes 2008 in i Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sedan 2022 finns ingen av The Ventures originalmedlemmar kvar i bandet. Taylor avled år 1996 (och ersattes som trummis i bandet av sin son, Leon Taylor). Bogle avled 2009, Edwards 2018, och Wilson 2022.
