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.

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.

If Brian was the "brains" of the 60s Beach Boys... Carl was the heart, even into the 80s.

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 !

We love and miss you Carl and Dennis God bless you

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 attended the Walk Against Cancer events in Malibu. Good times. RIP Carl 🎸

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"!

A truly great voice.

What a talent... gone way too soon !!!

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.

RIP Carl...Legend!

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.

Died 23 years ago of lung cancer. ☠️R.I.P.

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!

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.

He was such a great singer and a contributing artists to the music industry

This was painful to listen to. 🤦‍♀️

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💜

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

Like George Harrison and many others ,Carl was an avid smoker.

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.

"OUR LOSS".."HEAVEN'S GAIN"😇

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

Carl was the angel, and the most gorgeous man ever!

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!❤

Fantastic video! Thanks for posting. 👍

Did you record this in your bathroom?

“Drownded”? Really?

Carl eventually became the strongest performing presence in the band, a top musician and vocalist! Tragic end at age 51.

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

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.

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.

Interesting video but too scripted, sounds just like what it is, some guy reading the material right off a script.

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!

Awesome beautiful Bro.

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.

R.I.P

Absolute abysmal narration 😫

Loved Carl best

any change the first cd of Carl Wilson could be released again (remastered) ??

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.

Needs more reverb

What’s worse, this or the computer voice

SIR----------PLEASE-----------GET THE FACTS RIGHT-----------CARL OWNED & PLAYED A RICKENBACKER 360 12-STRING, A VERY DIFFERENT INSTRUMENT FROM THE 370 12 STRING THAT MCGUINN PLAYED .---------------------MJL, 74 Y/O

Did you voice this in your bathroom?

Dude… you could at least go back and edit your flubs hahaha… try just a little hahah :)

Brian talked about how they went to church growing up. Does anyone know what religion they were brought up in?

I got to see him on that last tour in Indianapolis

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.

Carl was an amazing talent

He was the glue of the band

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.

What language is this narrator speaking?

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.

The voiceover is appalling.Give us someone with diction.Terrible,spoils the story.

Love Everything About Carl Wilson

RIP

if you can't speak without hiccups, get someone else to do it

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎

They were the Boo Skagg.

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..

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 . These 2 were out of the 3 were original Wilson Clan .. you & BRIAN WHERE THE BEACH BOYS ! Sorry not a fan of Love ( though Live was 1 out 5 original Beach Boys when they started

Damn cigarettes

52 ? geeeeze

Can you read man? You about to have stroke or something? lol

I had to stop listening to this due to the speech narration.

OMG, I just realized Carl Wilson is related to Carnie and Wendy Wilson 🤯

Warren's last name is pronounced "Zee-Von".

What happened to Carl Wilson? He died.

Yeah, this voice narration is simply dreadful. What the hell?

They hired two planes on tour one was loudparty plane other was quiet contemplative one

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.

Unfortunately he died, that's what happened to him.

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.

Just PAINFUL to listen to

it was kind of painful listening to this. you can do better.

he died

He. Married sister of Dino desi and billy another Filipina

How terribly narrated 😤

Did they hire someone off the street to narrate this? Bloody awful!

What do you mean happen to him he fucking die

Spade colley wasn’t cook

I know it's KZfaq, but that's pretty terrible narration. Total mush-mouth. If that's all the better he can speak, he should add subtitles.

Cancer too young too good

Like the REST of them...he just ATE too many Drugs!!

He married Filipina sister of billy his he over dinodesiand billy

KOKOMO.. worst song ever.
