Hi everyone,
finally I found something interesting and specific about the backing vocals of Chris in "Love surrounds me" song: Andrew Doe wrote in his book about the Beach Boys, that the high vocal on the fade is Christine. Chris comes in on the harmonies around 2:04 and stays until the end:

I could hear her voice VERY well at 2:04, 2:45, 3:04 and 3:11!

"The Ultimate Bamboo
6. LOVE SURROUNDS ME - One of Dennis' prettiest, saddest numbers, "Love Surrounds Me" is the only released composition co-written by Dennis and Beach Boy collaborator Geoffrey Cushing-Murray. Initially tagged for BAMBOO (along with "Baby Blue [Eyes]"), the song was handed over to the Beach Boys for the 1979 LA (LIGHT ALBUM), effectively killing any notion of a proposed Dennis Wilson solo release. Various sources credit the background vocals on the tag to either vocalist Marisa Conover, or to Christine McVie (!!!), member of the legendary band Fleetwood Mac, and Dennis' love interest at the time.
11. LOVE SURROUNDS ME (REPRISE) - Underneath Dennis and Christine McVie/Marisa Conover's sensitive vocals, “Love Surrounds Me” is a beautiful, moody and evocative musical performance. This rare stereo backing track features some minor differences from the finished mix of the song and serves as the perfect closing theme to this magnificent collection. "
