Happy Birthday to Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys!!.. Carl Dean Wilson (December 21, 1946 – February 6, 1998) was an American rock and roll singer, guitarist and composer, best known as a founding member, lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist of The Beach Boys. Wilson performed lead vocals on a number of notable songs by the Beach Boys, including Good Vibrations and God Only Knows. An avid cigarette smoker since age 13, Wilson was diagnosed with lung cancer after becoming ill at his vacation home in Hawaii in early 1997. Despite his illness, Wilson continued to perform during chemotherapy treatment. He played and sang throughout the Beach Boys entire summer tour which ended in the fall of 1997. During the performances, he sat on a stool. His unique, compelling voice, however, never deserted him and he always respectfully stood while singing God Only Knows. Wilson died of his cancer in Los Angeles surrounded by his family, on February 6, 1998, just two months after the death of his mother, Audree Wilson.
