“['God Only Knows’] is one of the best songs that was ever written. It’s one of the best records that was ever made. Brian Wilson is a genius. That particular song just touched my heart. Carl is singing beautifully on it.” - Graham Nash, Far Out Magazine (April 2026)

And because it's always a good time to celebrate Carl's vocal and production, here's a quote from Classic Rock Forever:
“‘I Can Hear Music’ was, unbelievably, the youngest Wilson’s very first attempt at record production, and somehow, someway, he deftly made this original Ronettes number practically his own. Ahh, my… Rest in peace, sweet young Carl.” - article by Gary, Classic Rock Forever
