Charlie Watts once said of Hal Blaine, "I was surprised to learn that my 3 favorite American drummers were all the same guy"
"Charlie my Darling"!
😆😆😆
Lol!
Never heard that … 😅! Thank you for sharing …😊
Rest in peace, Charlie.
Thank you so very much for making this documentary. Music lovers appreciate it
I use to work building guitars and I sometimes opened up and one morning Carol Kaye came in unannounced and I fixed some basic thing on her bass and chatted with her for about 15 minutes. At the time I knew who she was but didn't realize how legendary she was.
Lucky you!
Music is just notes on paper, until the Wrecking Crew brought the notes to life
The Wrecking Crew documentary impacted my thinking AS MUCH as any movie I’ve ever seen. Probably none of us were aware that it was a handful of musicians that made so much of the music we know. Good to see these folks finally getting credit for their work.
They were well paid for their time, they seemed to care little about fame. They were just working musicians.
The mid 1950s-1970s produce the best collection of great music, crisscrossing all genres of music in the history of the world. That time period in music will never be reproduced, it was magical.
Praise from Your peers is the greatest compliment. This is an absolute truth.
I just found this! I was at GIT in 1978, very first class, Denny, your dad would stop by and tell stories, as well as his classes, he was a breath of fresh air and encouragement to all of us! Just wanted you to know, all these years later, he is still a fresh memory!
I love Denny… I was privileged to have worked with his father Wayback in the day… The wrecking crew is a wonderful movie!
Every time I start watching the Wrecking Crew Movie, I end up watching the entire movie, PLUS the extra six hours of bonus material. A fascinating piece of history.
RB me too!
....Is it available anywhere for free???
Amazing! Three hour sessions, 3-5 songs. It takes months and longer for today's crop of " artists" to record an album . I spent the greater part of my life as a touring drummer and meeting Hal Blaine was a thrill I can't describe. So much respect for him and all the other master musicians. Go out and support the ones that are still around ...
"Artists" today?....there are better musicians making TH-cam videos. Listening to the radio today, it's tragic.
Tommy was one of my Teachers at MI.
He was such an amazing mentor and teacher.
I have a lot of respect for Denny Tedesco and his Dad! I met a few of these cats when I was in LA playing drums on the Sunset Strip! So much real talent, no tracks, no BS back then!
*....No drum machines, no quantizing...*
Good interview with Tedesco. Remarkable thing was that despite the same musicians being used, the diversity of feels and grooves was appropriate to each artist. They were like chameleons of music, able to change the colour of the music to the suitable shade for each singer.
RIP Hal Blaine, just passed away, this past week. I saw the film,
The Wrecking Crew, twice, and it is worth watching another time, in a few months. It is that good.
wish I could have met him just to say Thank You. one of my favorite drummers
Steven Garcia
I know the wrecking crew these guys 👦 are awesome 👌 ✌✌😎✌🤘😎✌😜
I think Hal Blaine is THE Drummer !👏❤️🙂
All of my favorite artists, growing up, were the same bunch of musicians! Wrecking crew, Stax, Muscle Shoals.... best ever! Your dad was fantastic and I'm glad to have grown up listening to his talent
And Gordys crew that's pretty much US music...70% of bands were fake...not good enough to finish a record.
In the Brian Wilson movie its spelled out.
So many stars behind the stars. I'm just amazed listening to the stories. Can't get enough! Thank you.
Excellent interview. All music lovers need to be aware of The Wrecking Crew. They most likely played on your favorite record.
Several of your favorite records.
This is proof that back in the "good old days" when bands played their own stuff, they still didn't play their own stuff.
Maybe not in the studio, but "live" most did.
Nowadays it's mostly simulated.
This is great. Denny's such a good guy. Genuine official human being. Glad to know him.
Carol Kaye still is a badass.
Thank you Denny...i never got to meet you..but i did meet your Dad..he worked with my dad,drummer Richie Frost..you put his name on the Documentary..Thank you!!!!!!
Got to meet Denny at one of the premiers for the movie before it's release plus a Q&A session after. We fortunately ran into him outside the theater and he was nice enough to chat with us a little longer. Very cool of him and he was very nice to talk to. He was still working very hard on getting that project off the ground with the promos he was doing at the time..All very worth it. Thanks Denny! Well done!!
Just love learning what songs the crew did. It's just phenomenal.
Fender needs to make a Carol Kaye bass in honor of her.
Amen,wow,Amen,she was great!!
😄😄Good to see Ms Kaye!
IMO, there is a lot of life still left in these older hits!
I grew up playing to the Beach Boys. And any song from a SoCal feel was what my friends and I were doing.
When times changed, it was Neil Young, Steve Stills, the Monkees..always the Monkees. Gerry Lewis and his band the Playboys....so many.
And almost all, the sign of things to come.
It was a good vibe in the early to middle 60s.
Tommy Tedesco was a trip
They were the best. Every great intro, the one that made a hit song instantly recognizable, was a freestyle done by one of these musicians. Just on the spot. And they were never credited for it. But they didn't care. They did it all day,. every day.
just incredible music, brilliant musicians , Great show,
Hello! Thank you for your comment. Let me know what other content you'd like to see. Thanks! thenowmanshow2015@gmail.com
Just recently learned that The Wrecking Crew played for the rock group The Monkeys, Phil Spector, and The Byrds as well to mention just a few.
Great interview. And a great documentary. I grew up in the 60s with all that music...but I had not clue how it got made.
What a gem this is
Excellent interview that digs deep.
I was fortunate to meet Tommy at a guitar clinic. He was a nice guy and knew his shit.
Merci beaucoup for this. I don't know if it was Denny that did the hour long interview with Carol Kaye. That was my introduction to the Wrecking Crew, and I saw the people behind the soundtrack to my life. What was shocking was at the end of the video, Carol took the cameraman and the interviewer for a tour of the studios where she had played on literally thousands of songs. They wouldn't let her in. The Guard called upstairs, and they refused to let her in.
The music business.
BTW I wonder if anyone recognized the illness of Jim Gordon and tried to get him help.
the yuppie maggots running the studio are just like modern AnR people...
Denny, I wish that I had your memories ....This is SO good...Your dad was the greatest....50 year guitar player who knows what good and knows what's great....I appreciate your insight...Thank you
The Part About Al Green' What He Played' Im like Lifetime Impression of Who Played That Riff' - Mind Blown! 😶🎸🔊🎼
Just WOW!
This is history
awesome!!!!
Just the best thats all
13:13 Don Peake. Finally putting together the real musician/actor (and his Tele') uncredited in "Wild Guitar" '62!
Thank you!
Cheers!
Amazing!
There wasn't many drummers that could reach the skill level that Hal Blaine did
Glen Campbell went on to have a stellar career as a solo artist. Glen was the Taylor Swift of the 60’s. He was everywhere.
But Glen had talent
No, it was Leon Russell. Glen couldn't hold a candle to Leon's accomplishments and influences.
@@excidedous glen was recognized as one of the top 10 guitarists of all time. And he could sing. Leon?
@@Camille719 You haven't a clue about Leon. He was Billboard #1 touring act on the planet in 1974. He had the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd opening for him. Elton John opened for him in the early 1970s. He influenced more musicians than anyone in modern history appearing on over 3,000 recording in the 1960s. Several of the Rolling Stones and The Beatles appeared on his first solo album along with Eric Clapton and Stevie Winwood. Leon is on Badfinger recordings, Joe Cocker as producer, writer arranger and musician, Eric Clapton's Derek & The Dominoes. He launched Freddie King, played on BB King Recordings, wrote hundreds of songs across every genre. Wrote the Carpenter's hit "Superstar" Wrote George Benson's "This Masquerade" and recorded 40 albums of his own. Discovered Tom Petty and signed him to his label. Leon is on every Phil Spector record in the '60s and every Beach Boys album. It's all Leon Russell. Glen Campbell recorded at Leon's Skyhill studio in California and is on Glen's records as well. At 17 he toured with Jerry Lee Lewis who wrote that Leon was the better piano player. He was on the road with Paul Revere & The Raiders. At 10 he was self taught on saxophone and trumpet and was in the high school band. And that barely scratches the surface.
@@excidedous so cool. Thanks for education. You win. Feel better now?
These Cats are to this day are The Master masters Legends Through their vast array of Talent artistry influenced infected all musicians not withstanding their instrument because they influenced all musicians all instruments all genres Even Composerd to arrangers it's mind-boggling how much they changed the music industry and culture.
These guys forget

About music in a day than most will ever learn
I feel by growing up in the 60’s & 70’s, I grew up in the greatest time for music, whereby the greatest diversity, talent and musical composition took place. When I was a kid, it seemed like every day a new really cool song came on.
I have a super-wide taste in music, but feel this was the greatest-era that will never be eclipsed… 😊
Before Pro Tools there were pros.
Holy s..t! These folks were Gods of their craft!
It takes real practice to get a group of people a band to play tightly. After many bands some just don’t work.
Malcolm Adams All of these players were top notch musicians, so they had no problem “gettin’ in the pocket” to get it done in one take most of the time. Studio time is/was very expensive, so there was no time to screw around. They had to sight read the eyes off a snake. Anyone who couldn’t cut it right off the bat was replaced after the first “take 5” break. No hackers allowed!
If you liked music in the 60’s The Wrecking Crew played the instruments in the major of that music .
Hal Blaine was in a class by himself so it doesn't surprise me that he was one of two players that dominated the drums and percussion market !
great interview
I came here to view "The Wrecking Crew", but this has been taken over by a 5-minute ad from "CRI Genetics" -- no way to opt out of it, no way to cancel -- and when it finally finished, no "Wrecking Crew" video. What's wrong, TH-cam?
Wow.. another great documentary here. Just like Muscle Shoals. For the majority of us who like music, we only know what we hear. Able to perhaps judge whether a song is a hit whether it be at the top of the charts or not. Listening to this doc and the professionals behind the scene that make the song a hit is for me the “science” that goes into creating something great.
It happened with Greg Brady from the Brady Bunch. The only reason Greg Brady got the record contract was because a cool looking jacket was to be featured on the album cover and that jacket fit Greg Brady perfectly. No one else could fit into the jacket.
I remember watching the Gong Show when Tommy was on.
Me too...He had a long skirt on and I didn't know what he was singing about. He used to be number one... And he won. I was happy for him.
@@FB1BB1BB1 he came out wearing a ballerina’s tutu! The craziest sight you ever have seen! But, what a musician!
I consider myself one of the 'Wrecking crew..i was in and out of sessions with all those mentioned....like Danny Tedesco said..there were many..that were not included..
You replaced Nokie in the Ventures?
mike poland He was in a few other big name groups as well, good call
indeed Gerry i remember an interview with Lou Shelton talking a bout recording Last Train to Clarksville and he said he did it with "his good friend Gerry McGee".
@@mikepoland1882 I believe Jerry McGee has passed away.
Gerry died in late 2019 of a heart attack on tour in Japan
The piano player he didn't name is Larry Knechtel !
Wrecking Crew member Barney Kessel played a frankenstein Mandolin on the intro to wouldnt it be nice.. a 12 string guitar neck on a mandolin body for the unique sounding guitar..
He looks so much like his dad!!
Denny looks just like his Dad.
"Praise from your peers is better than anything." Well, OK.
But I thought I remember reading Tommy Tedesco (or somebody in the Wrecking Crew) had a job selling cars at a dealership in Arizona the 1980s to make ends meet, or something like that. Financially I think these guys got short changed, compared to some of the performers.
AMEN to learning how to read music, i sadly lost the ability per say of how to read music but if you get the chance to do DO IT. there are those who can do both, read and play by ear, but most of the Studio Musicians could read
Pleased to see comment on music reading,I am self taught and happy I can both read or busk, multi instrements.I played trumpet in a brass ensemble 70,s you were rather in on the downbeat or excluded.I played classical guitar to a good standard90,s.Iplayed Irish jigs reels learnt from music on Irish whistle.now mainly study 5str banjo.
Its been more than thirty years since I was in music school but to read well you must do it everyday to be proficient
@Google User tried to re learn how to read music when i started taking piano lessons again. i could do treble notes to a certain degree but bass notes was a bust. what amazes me is how many pro bands and writers don't read music
I read music and have for a long time because of the old joke: "how do you get a guitar player to shut up? Put sheet music in front of him". Now, the jazz guys expect you to memorize it (with good reason).
First time I ever heard the term "wrecking crew" it was a name of a team of motorcycle racers (Harley riders in the 50's)--they won so often with such dominance it was said the 'wrecked' their competition. In real life a wrecking crew are men who dismantle and remove old buildings. I'm guessing the musicians wrecking crew were session players, incredibly skilled yet little known, but they were heard everywhere, commercials, movies, and backup bands for vocalists. They dominated the music scene.
Leon russell started in tulsa w david gates and the accents1959 also featuring carl radle.
Carol Kaye did play guitar on La Gamba as well as Donna
14:20. OMG!
He should have mentioned Howard Roberts!
Joe Osborn was known for helping the Carpenters getting "found"
He sounds just like his dad!
Flying cape ...twilight zone music🎶🎸🎶🎸
“And a Woman!”
This is why I find what was done to Milli Vanilli so strange. 99.9% of those 60's groups did not play on their own records, BUT the industry came down hard on Milli Vanilli. Not right, nor fair.
tommy tedesco , one of my all time favs. Can you fix the name ? Thats crazy.
Dennys dad had column G T magazine. Like diary of days
Events. Busy guy . Played on most of what we heard then.
Apparently, the Ventures were so busy touring & the record company needed two or three albums a year so many of their albums are these studio cats.
Really, use gear the Ventures use, dial up their sound and 2 hrs later, if that, you've got an album in the can ready for mixing. The Ventures literally could learn their new album on the road.
Don Peake 12:48 Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye
Who the heck plays a song in E flat? Glad they did though
Who else is leaving this video and immediately searching for a video of Tommy on The Gong Show?
I've already seen it - it is hilarious - how we miss Tommy - it's got boring since he left
Louie Shelton
Carol Kaye... Some guitarist.
yosemite sam That is a fact!
Is there a reason why "Louie Shelton" name was never mentioned ? Kinda strange not to hear him name not come up.
Hit makers
who were the east coast session guys besides Vincent Bell?
Assisti este Documentário na Netflix , fiquei impressionado com tantos arranjos para Cantores e Grupos de vários estilos .
14:27 Holy _____!
Louis Shelton not mentioned in this interview.
Thank you for mentioning him here - I love Louie - he is a such a great guy and and fantastic guitarist - and what's more, he is a very wise man - because he has decided to live outside the USA !
Louie played a lot here that others are getting credit for.
Louie came up with the lead guitar part for "I Want You Back". He played fuzz on "ABC". Michael Jackson may never have been a star without Louie.
Carol was more genius than any of them.
buz butler So true! Most folks have no idea what an accomplished jazz guitarist she is in addition to being a legendary bassist. Amazing lady. She should be in the R&R Hall of Fame. Can’t understand why she isn’t.
I dont think so. Tedesco can read music front back and improvise plus dozens of instruments
Too bad you couldn’t get a prison interview with Jim Gordon. I’d like to see what he looks like now and what he has to say.
Just don't give him a hammer
@@lamper2 He was a percussionist?
he's sorry he didn't plat a melody on Bobby's face
You guys have
No class
close your eyes and hear steve buscemi
Same formula for the beatles...that early pop stuff they absolutely DID NOT write...you don't go from being a bar band with only cover songs to all of a sudden just landing a record deal over night and then just be able to smash out hit after hit after hit...not logical.
He sure looks like his dad.
Sad that Tommy Tedesco died at 67 years of age. Smoking is definitely a life limiter.
When did Steve Buscemi grow his hair out?
🤣😂👏👍❤
In England it was different...the Beatles, Stones, Shadows played there own sessions.
one of the few because England also had their legendary session players..check it out..
@@pgroove163 Jimmy Page , John Paul Jones, Herbie Flowers , Clem Cattini ,Big JimSullivan , Dave Mattacks , to name but several .Tony Rivers was lead vocal on 5 of the UK top ten one week in the 70s , the Pipkins, Eddison Lighthouse, White Plains, the Brotherhood of Man and the other one ...
@@weehudyy Tony Burrows
@@BillDerBerg Yep , what was I thinking . Mr Burrows ... Head Pipkin
@@weehudyy Exactly. People would be surprised how many 1960s and 1970s producers used session musicians (whether the groups agreed or not), and also who those session musicians were.
Why the EFF does YT insist on NEVER recommending Part 1 of any series? Frustrating.
Because Maybe They Can Currently Only Count To '2' Many Ad$! 😶
*....So you’ll know there is more than “1”, then you go searching for pt 1....then they’ll make more money...chi..Ching.........more $$$$$$$ for YT....... question answered ...”follow the money”...*
@@stephenfiore9960 Yep.
"and a woman!"
jamesha175 haha, like Smutfett?
Who'd have imagine'd that? At the same time Jackie De Shannon wasn't allowed to produce her own hit songs. She said she thought the big boys imagined she'd bake a cake in the booth.
14:27
Watch the movie. Read the book.
Listen to her interviews. Carol Kaye is a jazz snob.
