Movie Info

The names Hal Blaine, Plas Johnson, Carol Kaye, Earl Palmer, Don Randi and Tommy Tedesco may not mean much to most music fans, but nearly everyone has heard and loved their work. They were members of the team of session musicians nicknamed "the Wrecking Crew," and they were the backbone of the West Coast pop music industry in the Sixties. Gifted, versatile and possessing the knack for turning a simple tune into something memorable, the Wrecking Crew were the players who turned the Wall of Sound

This sing-along, joyful doc unearths a group of musicians who actually played all the music on the LPS by the Byrds, Cher, Nancy and Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, the Monkees, and Captain and Tennille. A must to see and listen to.

I'm told by a musican friend of mine that I really respect, that this is a must-see. Independently financed, I believe that it is "on tour" instead of being distibuted conventionally. A great story about what you didn't know.

This movie is a gem. Went with no expectations and came out so happy and moved. Great subject, terrific music, humor: wish all movies could be like this!! Time flew by, just wish it was longer.
