The Beach Boys, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Nate King Cole and many more. Behind their success was a group of studio musicians called The Wrecking Crew.
What the Funk Brothers did for Motown… The Wrecking Crew did, only bigger, for the West Coast Sound. Six years in a row in the 1960s and early 1970s, the Grammy for “Record of the Year” went to Wrecking Crew recordings. And now, THE WRECKING CREW tells the story in pictures and that oh, so glorious sound. THE WRECKING CREW is a documentary film produced and directed by Denny Tedesco, son of legendary late Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco. The film tells the story of the unsung musicians that provided the backbeat, the bottom and the swinging melody that drove many of the number one hits of the 1960’s.
Fantastic interviews with talented musicians and great info on the important contributions they made, as well as little known facts about well-known musicians such as Glen Campbell; SO entertaining! So well directed and edited with the way the music blends in and out between comments.
bought it for about $9 and watched it with wife. Both thought it was incredible. Also has a 2nd included DVD with goofs and outtakes I haven't watched yet.
next movie is The Porcaro Brothers…insane the impact of these guys and add Marty & David Paich with Steve Lukather and you have about 10k albums from the 70-80s
Looking forward to seeing this! So many secrets in the music industry… the Wrecking Crew back then is like today's Autotune… who is real? Who has actual talent?
Without the Wrecking Crew…there would be NO singers as we know them today! Carol Kaye was HOT back then!
Easily one of the best music documentaries ever made, and one of the greatest music stories ever told.
Love this era
