description: "Dennis Carl Wilson was an American musician, singer, and songwriter who co-founded the Beach Boys. He was their drummer and the middle brother of bandmates Brian and Carl Wilson. The only dedicated surfer in the group, his lifestyle embodied the \"California myth\" that inspired and was celebrated in many of the band's early songs. He later contributed original material to their catalog, including \"Forever\" (1970), his best-known song."
