| You heard
them playing on the Beach Boys hits, on the
Mamas and the Papas' recordings, on Frank
Sinatra records, on Monkees' singles and
they were Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. Simply
put, you heard them everywhere. They have
performed on more number one singles than
the Beatles. They were one of rock and roll's
most legendary bands, a hit-making machine.Most
likely, you never heard their name. If you
knew who they were, you called them the Wrecking
Crew.
Hal Blaine, Carole Kaye, Tommy Tedesco, Glen Campbell, Earl Palmer. These are
a few members of the Wrecking Crew. Their story is remarkable. Tedesco's son,Denny
Tedesco, knew it well enough to see that it had to be told to more than a small
circle of friends. Just prior to his father's death, DennyTedesco set out to
film his father and other members of the Wrecking Crew to capture their story
firsthand.
The film features conversations with Brian Wilson, Cher, Nancy Sinatra, Mickey
Dolenz, Herb Alpert, Lou Adler, Dick Clark, Jimmy Webb, Brian Wilson and Roger
McGuinn of the Byrds.
