   That Brian Wilson's claim for his song "God Only Knows" is false.

   The Crystals (Barbara Alston, La La Brooks, Dee Dee Kennibrew, Patsy   
   Wright, and Mary Thomas) were a fully-formed group, and were preparing   
   to record "There's No Other (Like My Baby)," before they met Phil Spector.

   God only knows.
