"Heaven" is a song written by Carl Wilson, Myrna Smith and Michael Sun for Carl Wilson's debut 1981 solo album Carl Wilson. More commonly known as a member of The Beach Boys, Carl Wilson decided to record a solo album in 1981. The song features Carl Wilson on lead vocals as well as himself and Myrna Smith on backing vocals. Carl is also credited as playing the guitars on the track with John Daly credited with playing the pedal steel guitar. James Stroud plays drums and producer James William Guercio plays bass guitar and percussion on the track.
"Heaven" was released as the A-side of singles in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The United States version featured "Hurry Love" as the B-side whereas the United Kingdom version featured "The Right Lane" as the B-side of the single. However, both singles failed to chart.
In December 2007, Brian Wilson made his own version of the song available for free on his official website, [www.brianwilson.com] in tribute to his brother on what would have been his 61st birthday.
