No life in popular music touched on as many major musical
milestones as that of The Beach Boys' Carl Wilson. While he is
often unjustly overlooked as a mere adjunct to his more famous
brothers Brian and Dennis, Carl was a major international rock star
from his early teens. The proud owner of one of the greatest voices
in popular music-one that graced some of the most important records
of the pop era, including 'God Only Knows' and 'Good
Vibrations'-Wilson was also one of the first musicians to bring the
electric guitar to the forefront of rock'n'roll. His musical skills
provided The Beach Boys' entree into the music business, from which
he then stewarded their onstage journey through the ups and downs
of the 60s to their comeback in the 70s and into the role of
'America's band' in the 80s. Along the way, Carl quietly endured
his own battles with obesity, divorce, substance abuse, and
ultimately terminal cancer, all the while working to protect his
family's business and legacy. This major new biography reveals the
true story of modern rock'n'roll, lived from the centre of the most
important decades of popular music.
