Petra Cetera said that he was influenced by the Beach Boys so its mutual. He worked with Robert Lamm until his death.

Reminds me a little of the early, classic horn band Chicago -- with Terry Kath. Back in the 70's the Beach Boys teamed with Chicago for some concerts and they appeared together on the track "Wish You Were Here." Maybe Carl picked up some vocalizing tips from the then Chicago lead vocalist. This could easily be a Chicago song and that's a compliment to Carl.
