Still not very happy with this, but when the article as it stood didn't even get the man's name right (where the hell the 'Kelly' in the name came from I have no idea - googling "Carl Dean Kelly Wilson" gives only this page as opposed to the 266 with his correct full name, so it's not like it's even a widespread error one could understand being passed on). Other inaccuracies in the article as it stood - he didn't 'compose' the guitar parts - when not stolen from Chuck Berry they were written by Brian WIlson. Most of Brian's vocal parts were actually sung live by Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston. Hope this at least provides a workable framework which others can edit for style and clarity.

- Just to correct you there, Carl did compose some of the guitar parts. Take "Dance, Dance, Dance" for example. Carl came up with the main riff. And you cant just think of The Beach Boys as JUST Brian Wilson. In the 70's etc.. Carl wrote a fair few songs (eg: "Long Promised Road", "Feel Flows", "Angel Come Home", "Good Timin'" etc.. etc..) So that statement isnt entirely untrue. And another thing, The Beach Boys obviously have performed thousands of concerts over the years and at times Carl did sing Brian's parts. For example on the few occassions that the band performed Surfs Up live it was Carl who sung the second verse (which was Brian on the record). And then of course on the In Concert album Carl sings Caroline No, which of course was originally sung by Brian. In fact there is many instance of band members swapping leads (eg: Dennis or Carl singing Help Me Rhonda, Dennis singing Good Timin etc..)
