Long promised road : Carl Wilson, soul of the Beach Boys : the biography

Crowley, Kent2015
Books, Manuscripts
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. This biography reveals the true story of modern rock'n'roll, lived from the centre of the most important decades of popular music.
