Carl Wilson, born December 21, 1946 in Hawthorne, California, and died February 6, 1998, was an American musician, singer and songwriter, best known as a founding member and guitarist of the Beach Boys. The younger brother of Brian and Dennis Wilson, Carl was a key figure in the band, contributing his smooth voice and guitar skills to many of their hits.
As part of the Beach Boys, Carl sang on such iconic songs as “God Only Knows” and “Good Vibrations”. He also helped write and produce albums such as “Pet Sounds”, “Wild Honey” and “Surf’s Up”.

In 1988, Carl was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Beach Boys, cementing his place among music legends.
