Not technically true. Brian very much wanted to sing this song, but he realized that his voice just wasn't right for it or wasn't what he wanted. It was perfect for Carl's voice, though.
@@lawrence142002 I agree. Carl explained this. Brian recorded it but didn't quite like it. He thought Carl was a better choice and gave him the instruction "don't rush it". th-cam.com/video/_YIaXYrCGys/w-d-xo.html - Brian's version. Carl's is better. I agree.
@@Defrap22, so, I'm supposed to "love" the cousin, that sued the Wilsons, for using the name "The Beach Boys?" I love most everybody. But Hateful Mikey, that is still on order. When Mikey "loves" his remaining Wilson cousin, look me up again. (It figures, that Murry's sister is Mikey's mother.) steve
Mike’s definitely kind of a dick (especially nowadays), but his resistance to Pet Sounds and SMiLE is mostly a myth, and to be fair, he wrote “Big Sur” on the Holland album, a beautiful song. Plus, no Mike, no Good Vibrations.
RIP Carl Wilson. Voice of an angel.
Carl was the beautiful heart of that band
My favorite Beach Boys song, still brings tears to my eyes as I sing along. Thanks
I find it hard to sing to, for the reason
you just stated.

There’s something so pure about Carl’s voice on this track ❤️
Paul McCartney’s favourite Beach Boys song. Mine too. The horn intro is pure magic.
That French horn is one of the things that absolutely make the song for me.
He totally respected them.
@@memphisflashfan1 Whoever says God Only Knows is their favorite Beach Boys song is a true genius
Carl Wilson was probably one of the most underrated music artist of his time. The voice of an angle taken too soon ❤️
Angel* 👼
What can I say? I am blessed to be on this earth to hear Carl sing this beautiful song.
God only knows why we don’t have more Carl Wilsons to pass through life. 😞
We had the one. Luckily his presence was
recorded.
God must have a decent band, with Dennis
and Carl. We still have Brian and Alan.
(And Matt.)

My favourite Beach Boys song
For me, one of the best songs of all time.!!!
I have read that Brian wrote this beautiful song for Carl to sing.
In 20 minutes.
He and Tony Asher wrote it within an hour and Brian just immediately knew that Carl’s voice was perfect for it.

Brian also knew Carl’s voice was perfect for this song specifically
Beautiful song 😊
Makes me remember my brother, my pup Milo who passed last year at 17 years. I’m 30 and he was literally my pal for more than half my life /:
The Wilson's, Al and Mike an American Tresure! This song is a God Send!
Well, the Wilson Brothers and Alan.
Mike? Really? There is NOTHING wrong
with hateful Mikey, that a good sniper can't
fix!

Awesome song and a great memory....
Thank you for posting this.
i'm am doing a bible class and this goes perfectly with it.
Brian Wilson and Tony Asher wrote this song in 20 minutes.
I'm looking forward to hearing this🙏
Wow !
He was so young here …
Yes. 19 years old.
RIP
***Please explain - how did you get the Master? Why did you pitch correct?
Good question. Carl's voice has always been pitch perfect to my ears.
I think the uploader was talking about the pitch of the recording as a whole, maybe it was converted from tape at the wrong speed
Where can I find it just a vocal of this???
yea.
How old WAS he here? Anyone know?
20
He was 19 years old. Carl was born on December 21, 1946. God Only Knows was recorded in March and April of 1966.
WHY??? Some things are Better left alone!!
can someone autotune this
Why?
THAT was funny . . .
Terrible temazo!!!!
