I am 73 and have listened to the Beach Boys for 50+ years. Brian's writing is second to none, Carl's lead vocals are nothing short of superb. His lead on "God Only Knows" is my favorite Carl's singing song. I was torn apart with his too early death and wish his family well.
To know Carl was to love him. I knew Dennis much better, however, was lucky enough to spend time with Carl and he had a presence that could inspire one to be a better person. The name Carl Wilson should always be said with reverence. I keep a candle from 98 benefit concert at The Roxy next to my bed to this day. Ricci Martin pronounced (Ricky) not Richie ... he was a dear friend of mine too and my husband toured with Ricci for over 10 years. "Heaven" one of my favorite songs. I was lucky enough to see Carl's solo band in 1980. Why don't you respectfully cover Dennis Wilson. The coolest man that ever lived. He had long hair before the Beatles and could sail his almost 60 foot boat by himself.
Can you share an actual memory or short story with me? A specific place or time. I am developing a memoir whe❤re his fans can focus on the man, the heart, and soul of CARL ...not just his incredible talent.
While Brian Wilson was the song writer and visionary for the Beach Boys but it was Carl Wilson that was the steady hand that kept that vision alive while Brian was off in La La Land so thank you Carl for being the force and the glue that kept the Beach Boys together. You were the best !
Carl was the soul. He kept them together through Brian's mental breakdown, Dennis's death, the feuds between Mike and the rest of the band, etc. When Carl died, so did the band.
Forgot to mention that Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnston also sang backup vocals on another Elton John song called “Since God Invented Girls” which was a tribute to The Beach Boys / Brian Wilson. I recommend checking out that one too
Carl had a really shy, sensitive singing voice until about the age of 20. I don't know what it was (puberty?) but he really started coming out of his shell in 1967 when he sang "Darlin'" and Carl was re-born as a "soul man"!
I'm 74 years-old and been a 'Beach Boys' fan since 1964 when I was 15. They really touched my life and other boys my age with their songs about surfing, cars, and girls.
If I'm not mistaken Dennis was the first to "break ranks". His album Pacific Ocean Blue came out in 1977, now he may not have toured solo to promote it...but he was the first Beach Boy to have a solo record....and a fantastic masterpiece it is...anyway I love the video brother, it's a great tribute to the great Carl Wilson.
This became increasingly painful to watch and listen to. With the random unrelated pics, and the narration fumbles. You can take more than one take to get it right, the beach boys did.
I have always loved Carl Wilson's Voice! Amazing! Carl also sang with the band America on 'Garden of Peace" which, was on their 1984 album Hourglass! Beautiful Song!❤
It's interesting to note that the guitar solo played by Pete Townshend of The Who on "I Can't Explain" sounds VERY similar to the solo played by Carl Wilson on "Dance, Dance, Dance" and that both were played on the 12-string Rickenbacker and came out at the same time in late 1964! So yes---that similarity is DEFINITELY there!
The song feel flows, touches my entire inner being, touches my soul, my entire psyche, it moves me, as does till I die, and the river song, I think the beach boys songs of the seventies are totally brilliant, good vibrations was a total masterpiece, in the sixties, pet sounds gave the Beatles a run for their money, and then all of their rock and roll songs before pet sounds were great, my favorites here were surfing u.s.a. and help me Rhonda, I saw them in concert once in the nighties. Had the cassette, endless summer, that I played the shit out of, my favorite entetertainers of the sixties for me we're at 3, the rolling stones, 2 the Beatles and 1 the beach boys, my favorite song for the sixties was the masterpiece, good vibrations, my interest In rock music goes back to 1954 and I lost it by the year 2000, the beach boys will always be one of my favorite entertainers, even younger generations loved them, I was born in May of 1968, around the time good vibrations came out
There's good information here, but the narration and vocal recording is bloody awful. Why not do more than one take and fix the parts where you stumble? This is genuinely tough to comprehend and listen to.
Excruciating voiceover. It wouldn't cost much to get someone who can read, or if this is your project, comp it. I made it to the end, just, but wouldn't watch another one
he'll get better as he goes. This voiceover isn't the worst i've heard. It's bad, but there's room for improvement, and the only way to improve is to practice at it.
I didn’t know Carl did heroin. There’s not much about this online. I’m curious if he cleaned up well in advance of his cancer diagnosis, or how long he did heroin. I know their Australian tour was affected by him and Dennis using but never knew how extensive this was. I loved him. He was my favorite Beach Boy. So talented, beautiful voice and sweet nature. I’ve always missed him, to this day.
If you're going to continue to narrate these clips you need to enunciate your words better because you're hard to understand. And you should do it in a room that doesn't sound so hollow. The content was very interesting though.
@@johnorabone6112 - it was the other brother who drowned, diving off his boat looking for stuff that may have dropped into the water below. Dennis, however is still kickin’.
I’m so glad you’re highlighting Carl and his career, but I recommend you learn how to annunciate or get a different narrator. I can barely understand what you’re saying.
He actually wrote the song I found I liked best from the Beach Boys, Feel flows. Growing up, I don't remember it, I found out about it through the movie Almost famous.
What's with the echo? Did you record this in your bathroom? The effect makes your video very hard to understand, which in turn makes all, but the very dedicated Beach Boy Fan, turn the channel. Want more likes? Get some egg cartons and staple them to your wall!
This narrative sounds like it was not intended for video use but like scholastic. Not bad just different. People might expect drama and a performance. You leave that to Carl. Good man.
May you two big others RIP ( DENNis & Carl )🙏two beautiful angels 😇., they both looked down always guiding his brother ( thru his tough life , Brian was a mastermind ) & Dennis always told him & pushed to get out of his shell , & then when Denn😢passed it was Carl who stepped up he was by his brother ( Brian) trying to get thru the pain of loosing such a happy , smart energetic, talented brother ( Dennis that always loved 🥰 his 2 brothers immensely.. so may you both RIP 🙏( Dennis& Carl) 💫gone too too soon .

Love Carl Wilson. However. When you do a documentary, please research how someone pronounces their name. Warren Zevon last name is pronounced Zee-von. Not Ve-vens.
Long time Beach Boys fan, but had a hard time listening to the narration. If you are going to continue, you must slow down and enunciate. Otherwise no one will want to listen to anything you might mumble.
Why do we judge others for having a substance problem, we all have friggin problems, why do we have the right to judge others when we all have problems
@@momichaux5054 Well, Carl was into spiritualism. He likely supported the organization, early in its life, before the harmful cult like traits of organization were well known.
Mike Love refers to the two rival "camps" as The Druggies or the Free Livers ( Carl and Dennis) and the TMers (Transcendental Meditation, Mike and Al). When Brian started touring again in 1976, he was accompanied by two bodyguards whose job it was to keep Brian away from drugs, so he rode on the TMers plane. Bruce Johnston, when he rejoined the group around 1979, flew on the TMers' plane as well. Occasionally this split also extended to staying in separate hotels and entering and exiting the stage on separate sides.
I wish I had been the individual picked to read the information about Carl Wilson. I have a great voice and I have a greater feel for the story than your announcer who I believe was less than adequate.

I was thinking that too. He never talks about Dennis.
@@jdd3786 kopp
Dennis was hard to pin down because he was always moving around. Couldn't keep still. Poster boy for ADHD. LOL.
Can you share an actual memory or short story with me? A specific place or time. I am developing a memoir whe❤re his fans can focus on the man, the heart, and soul of CARL ...not just his incredible talent.
One of the most beautifuls voices that I had the pleasure to hear in this world !
One of the finest vocalists in the history of recorded sound.
While Brian Wilson was the song writer and visionary for the Beach Boys but it was Carl Wilson that was the steady hand that kept that vision alive while Brian was off in La La Land so thank you Carl for being the force and the glue that kept the Beach Boys together. You were the best !
If Brian was the "brains" of the 60s Beach Boys... Carl was the heart, even into the 80s.
And, actually was ‘the ear.’ Brian had once said he trusted Carl’s ear, would defer to him on issues. That’s one hell of an endorsement!
A lot people say Carl was the heart and soul of The Beach Boys
Carl was the soul. He kept them together through Brian's mental breakdown, Dennis's death, the feuds between Mike and the rest of the band, etc. When Carl died, so did the band.
Carl also sang on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on me." You can hear him singing the Ahs at the end of the song!
I never even knew that. Bruce Johnston was on the song too. That’s so cool!
Forgot to mention that Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnston also sang backup vocals on another Elton John song called “Since God Invented Girls” which was a tribute to The Beach Boys / Brian Wilson. I recommend checking out that one too

Well put! 😎
fav beach boys song
Funny that the boys didn't look at all like Murray. I love the fact that Carl took over the falsetto from Brian and he did it well.
Al Jardine done most of Brian's falsetto's and sounded just like him
Carl looks the MOST like Murray, of the three brothers, actually. He was absolutely gorgeous, inside and out.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a talent... gone way too soon !!!
A truly great voice.
I attended the Walk Against Cancer events in Malibu. Good times. RIP Carl 🎸
RIP Carl...Legend!

I purchased POB the day it was released. Wore the record out! Awesome album. 👍
He was such a great singer and a contributing artists to the music industry

It was painful to listen to! He couldn't pronounce any names correctly, it was like never heard any of these stories before.
The Beach Boys heard all over the world, will always be a southern calif band, and if u r from so cal like me u will always think of them as yours💜
Died 23 years ago of lung cancer. ☠️R.I.P.

Like George Harrison and many others ,Carl was an avid smoker.
They are called "cancer sticks" for a reason. Smoking is slow suicide. Carl never wanted to be photographed smoking--was he embarrassed?
@@gymshoe8862 I don't know, but he might have known what they would inevitable do to him.🤐
@@gymshoe8862 There are several photos with Carl smoking.
@@1401minstrelyes. And lots of video
Love the beach boys actually got to see them many years ago at the Allentown fair in Pennsylvania but I have to say is voiceover was giving me anxiety
It's interesting to note that the guitar solo played by Pete Townshend of The Who on "I Can't Explain" sounds VERY similar to the solo played by Carl Wilson on "Dance, Dance, Dance" and that both were played on the 12-string Rickenbacker and came out at the same time in late 1964!

The voiceover is appalling.Give us someone with diction.Terrible,spoils the story.
Did you record this in your bathroom?
Holding the mic at arms' length.

I agree Jimbo!
Jimbo, I couldn't agree more. Like it was his first time every reading the material.
he'll get better as he goes. This voiceover isn't the worst i've heard. It's bad, but there's room for improvement, and the only way to improve is to practice at it.
I agree
Poor Jimbo....such imperfection in the world!

As I understand it, Carl did heroin for about a year, circa 1977-1978, twenty years before he died.
Did you voice this in your bathroom?
Fantastic video! Thanks for posting. 👍

I thought the same..
“Drownded”? Really?
He did not drown. He died of brain cancer.
@@johnorabone6112 - it was the other brother who drowned, diving off his boat looking for stuff that may have dropped into the water below. Dennis, however is still kickin’.
Carl eventually became the strongest performing presence in the band, a top musician and vocalist! Tragic end at age 51.
I’m so glad you’re highlighting Carl and his career, but I recommend you learn how to annunciate or get a different narrator. I can barely understand what you’re saying.

Absolute abysmal narration 😫
Loved Carl best
Awesome beautiful Bro.
Interesting video but too scripted, sounds just like what it is, some guy reading the material right off a script.

Needs more reverb
And echo.
What language is this narrator speaking?
Serbo-Bulgarian 🤮
polish
Brian talked about how they went to church growing up. Does anyone know what religion they were brought up in?
Long time Beach Boys fan, but had a hard time listening to the narration. If you are going to continue, you must slow down and enunciate. Otherwise no one will want to listen to anything you might mumble.
Dude… you could at least go back and edit your flubs hahaha… try just a little hahah :)
yeah its awful.
No doubt Elmo!
OMG, I just realized Carl Wilson is related to Carnie and Wendy Wilson 🤯
Carl Wilson was uncle to Wendy Wilson and Carnie Wilson they are his nieces
???? youre kidding
They were the Boo Skagg.
Why do we judge others for having a substance problem, we all have friggin problems, why do we have the right to judge others when we all have problems
Unfortunately he died, that's what happened to him.
Not a single mention of the crazy religious cult he was involved in- I sure hope he got out of that cult before he died..
What?
@@fshoaps carl's spiritual adviser john rodger , don't remember the name of the organisation .

if you can't speak without hiccups, get someone else to do it
I had to stop listening to this due to the speech narration.
Warren's last name is pronounced "Zee-Von".
The narrator never heard of Warren Zevon obviously.
What happened to Carl Wilson? He died.
Can you read man? You about to have stroke or something? lol
Yeah, this voice narration is simply dreadful. What the hell?
52 ? geeeeze
RIP
it was kind of painful listening to this. you can do better.

Just PAINFUL to listen to
He. Married sister of Dino desi and billy another Filipina
He married Dean Martin’s daughter, she has Italian heritage
First wife was Annie
Carl's first wife, Annie, was the sister of Billy Hinsche. Carl's second wife, Gina, was the sister of Dean Paul (Dino) Martin.
How terribly narrated 😤
he died
This guy is hard to understand - very poor. Do better.
What do you mean happen to him he fucking die
Did they hire someone off the street to narrate this? Bloody awful!
😆😄
Like the REST of them...he just ATE too many Drugs!!
I know it's RUclips, but that's pretty terrible narration. Total mush-mouth. If that's all the better he can speak, he should add subtitles.
Spade colley wasn’t cook
Cancer too young too good
KOKOMO.. worst song ever.
thats a great song!!!
Carl's superb vocal on the chorus is the only reason I'll listen to Kokomo.
