    I recall Hal being asked how he came up with the intro on "Be My Baby", and he said, "I missed the snare.". RIP, Hal.

    Hall was the dummer for Sinatra, Patti Page, Elvis, Beach Boys, the Carpenters--you name it! What a talent! RIP, Hall--you were the greatest.

    Hal Blaine died Monday March 11, 2019. A founding " member " of famed Los Angeles session musicians The Wrecking Crew, Hal was the genius behind so many different beats for artists as varied as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, and The Mamas And The Papas. Rest in Peace Hal...

      So many of us that learned to play listening to the drums on top forty pop tunes in the sixties had no idea most of those parts were played by one guy. Rest In Peace, Hal, and thank you.

    Hal Blaine was session musician for many decades. I am saddened to learn that he passed away in March of 2019, just 7 months ago (10-31-19). Rest In Peace Hal, you were one of the best who practiced the art of studio session playing.

    One of the songs that ear marked by the wrecking crew.. Hal thought he mistimed the intro he looked over at Spector & he gave him the thumbs up so he kept it up.. pure genius from Hal & Spector .. I mean could you imagine this song without the drumming .. or Good Vibrations without Carols bass.. no way.

    The soundtrack to my youth, originally heard through an AM radio car speaker as intended, broadcast from our little local am radio pop station on the west coast of California. Hearing the opening is still magic and the song will always stand the test of time. The only thing that could have possibly made it better here, would have been Hal playing his original blue sparkle kit. That guy can play a simple drum set and make it sound like the biggest, most important beat on the planet. Real talent. And Ronnie still has it. She's awesome not only as a singer but as a person. Thanks for posting.

    It seems the guy who made the movie did everything in his power to avoid showing Hal Blaine. He was not the drummer that the camera focused in on at the end - he was the guy who was nearly 90 - the other drummer! He was the one the camera guy kept zipping past trying to avoid.

  • @bettyparker3317
    @bettyparker3317 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This video does not show Hal Blaine. The drummer it shows toward the end, behind the guitars, is not Hal. It’s the “regular” drummer who gives every indication of being POed that Hal was there, even just this song.
    Hal Blaine was there in the studio for hundreds, maybe thousands, of hit records. He passed in 2019, but his interviews on YT are priceless. Not just for the retelling of rock/pop history, but evidence of an articulate, thoughtful, classy guy.
    His memoir is big fun, too.
