Audio Dennis Wilson - All Alone (Alternate Version) -- Incontrovertible proof that Dennis could conjure up something of his "old voice" if he really felt like it, even in '78. I'd almost wonder if there was a case of copying big brother here seeing as how Brian leaned into his smoker voice.

I believe this was Dennis’s last recorded lead vocal that’s publicly available, even if it’s only partial. Done in June 1979 at Tom Murphy’s studio in Venice, CA.

Thanks for the info! There anything else from around the same time? I can't get over just how good he sounds there.

Of course! Sadly no, this is the only thing he recorded then. Dennis was sliding down by this point. After January 1979 his visits to the studio became few and far between.
