Absolutely. The influence on Wilson's material is remarkable.

9 => 10 I know, I know. What was I thinking?

So good. If you like this type of Beach Boys sound and have not heard the recently released version of "Smile" do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Seriously, is there a song that is good as this in terms of writing and production? It's pretty much perfect.

But, then again, Sgt Pepper made Brian Wilson have a nervous breakdown, so it all evened out in the end.

Wikipedia: Carl Wilson was diagnosed with brain and lung cancer in early 1997. Despite his illness and chemotherapy treatments, Carl continued to perform after diagnosis. Carl played through the Beach Boys' entire summer tour which ended in the fall of 1997. He sat down most of the time and needed oxygen after every song, but he still had his unique voice. The only time he stood during concerts was when he sang " God Only Knows " to his fans.

Thanks for posting this, Johray63! This is very moving.

This song always starts by annoying me slightly, rapidly grows on me and winds up sublime!

It just doesn't get any finer. One of the best love songs I ever heard in my life, ever.
RIP Carl.
