About This Item
What the Funk Brothers did for Motown... The Wrecking Crew did, only bigger, for the West Coast sound. Six tears in a row in the 1960's and early 1970's, the Grammy for Record of the Year went to Wrecking Crew recordings. The Wrecking Crew 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. It didn't matter if it was Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, the Monkees, the Byrds or the Beach Boys, these dedicated musicians brought the flair and musicianship that made the American west coast sound a dominant cultural force around the world.
