Like a Brother is the only collaborative album by America's Gerry Beckley, Chicago's Robert Lamm, and the Beach Boys' Carl Wilson. It was also the final studio album by Wilson. It was released in 2000, two years after Wilson had died from lung cancer, and it was the last album he recorded before his death. The trio first appeared together on a rendition of "Without Her" from the 1995 Harry Nilsson tribute album For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson, followed by "Watching The Time Go By" from Lamm's 1999 solo album In My Head.
