@@kommi1974 What are smoking?
I did man chill 😎 my little baby's I gotcha 😌 👌
Jazz musician and guitar teacher!
Did Carol play bass on the Barney Miller theam song? If not then who?
Absolutely astounding that a music legend like Carol Kaye would be snubbed by the very studio she helped build. My heart broke at the end of this video. We love you Carol.
I agree....totally disrespectful.
Such a shame.
NO FUCKING CLASS AT ALL !!!!
True, but maybe they could have called ahead instead of just walking in.
@@tele68 please....
If Brian Wilson had walked in, and management was told, guaranteed he wouldn't have been disrespected like that.
@@rcpsammy7186 I get that. But this is a totally different generation. They would know Brian Wilson, but probably not the session musicians he used. It would have made sense for her to call and see when the studio would be open for a brief tour.
I went from feeling chills, watching Carol Kaye and Brian Wilson playing together, to feeling rage over how that studio treated such a legend.
I was about to comment on here that as well! they seriously didn't know who they had in their presence!
@@jongon281 Yeah, it's an all too common shame.
Yup damn shame! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions Carol!!!
Man, that lady is a legend. She’s probably forgotten more than they’ll ever know.
All of those Players at the time.
And clear to Johnny Gimble, fiddle player, who would play on most all Swing Band Albums put out in Texas to LA.
I doubt that Carol has forgotten anything.
Maybe that business with Cosby?
Amen Joe!
Doesn't matter about those flakes at the studio, we all know how outstanding Carol was and still is. I'm a bassist of 35 yrs and she was a major influence on me growing up. Even did an essay on her in music school. Wrote her a letter asking ?'s and she wrote back sent me photo's a method book copies of her calender dates sept - nov 69 she had maybe 8 days off in 3 months and was doing 2 sessions a day on most dates. She is the 1st lady of bass.
Thank you, I feel the same, but man it was hard to watch those fools in the studio.....
Wow! that is just excellent
You have to be beyond amazing if Quincy Jones left your part blank and told you...…….you come up with something for that. That is so awesome.
For that, you don't only have to be beyond amazing but have Quincy Jones' seal of approval of how beyond amazing you are
She's written more bass lines than Paul McCartney.
I agree, man made Rashida, he knows what hes doing.
Wow Ms. Kaye is an amazing woman and musician
They treated her like an old homeless woman. What a freaking shame. Love you CK.
Good, go protest in the street with a sign, you loser.
@@ronschaffer5959 Do you have anything better to do with your life then be a complete prick
@@jules1553 some one hurt him now he must hurt others such a shame :(
True, those underlings have no sense of history. But her ego was showing when she said, "they're probably cutting something that will never sell anyway." That's a pretty low thing to say when you consider that it probably wasn't the artists who were keeping her out.
Ron Schaffer naw I’ll leave the sign carrying and protesting to you bunch of American hating, baby killing, Hillary supporting liberals. She’s right, cutting some bull shit computerized, vocal processed crap.
She needs to be in the music hall of fame. 👏👏👏
Absolutely !
This woman is a treasure and deserves much respect for her playing and creativity.
My god, this is so wrong. Carol Kaye should be receiving a share of the royalties for all the music she created. She as others were totally exploited. What a humble talented soul.
Sounds like these use the terminology "invent" the part, to avoid calling it "writing" and thus having to credit them as writers. No royalties for "inventing"- just royalties for "writing".
I agree she's amazing
Yep. It sucks that the song writers get all the money but the musicians who made it worth listening to don't gets hit.
@mike sixx If they came up with the hook that made the music a hit, maybe it should be considered. On another note, artists that create hits with loops of these great talents receive all the royalties. It's basically editing. It's the way the system works, but in what universe is that fair?
Firstly - if she's a studio musician - that is what she's paid for - that is the job. Secondly - Carol Kaye has stated on interview that they were making more money than the president .. now that may be an analogy - but it certainly does not sound like she feels like they were being hard done by ..
And I cannot see - without any other info to the contrary - they were being "exploited" .. by her own admission - they were making more money in a day than they'd make in a week on the road ..
If I design a game and contract someone to do the art - and the game is successful - the artists who delivered on their contracts should not now feel that they are entitled to a part of the profits of the game ..
I'm not saying that each and every one of "the wrecking crew" did not significantly enhance or in some cases define the sounds or songs of the people they "supported" - but that was the job and they did it gladly and to say that they were "exploited" seems somewhat ridiculous to me.
Certain members of "The wrecking Crew" - most notably Glen Campbell and Elvis Costello went on to have very successful solo careers. Carol - by her own admission - was tired of the music they were making and went off to do other things ..
This woman is a BEAUTIFUL SOUL too !! I was born in 1963 and never heard of her till just 5 years ago and I looked her up and sent an e-mail saying how wonderful I thought she was and knew MANY of the classic's she played on and she got back to me the very next day with a GENUINE response , She belongs in The Hall of Fame NO DOUBT ABOUT IT !! ( Nicky D)
This was a perfect example of why she made the right moves when she did, to get away from these amateurs! CAROL KAYE...LEGEND!!!
Did you see her giving Gene Simmons a lesson on the bass?
Yeah, she got away from the “amateurs” who gave her the most money she ever made, so she could go on to.... uh... being someone who isn’t famous, and whose talent is overshadowed by their arrogance. What was the part of that you consider ‘the right move’?
@@jamescarter3196 so she should have continued to play on shit after shit and become less and less happy every week because she was not being true to herself , go listen to someone famous considering you think that means more than the music
one of the best female bass players ever.. she nailed it really during all those old days..kudos to Carole Kaye.. thanks i found this channel. good job
"They're probably cutting something that'll never sell anyway." TRUTH - CAROL KAYE!!!!!!
No, that isn’t ‘truth’ because she was whining out of hurt pride after she did something stupid. What was being recorded? Who was in that studio? You don’t have a clue, and the stupid whining about ‘why don’t you think I’m famous’ is something that makes people look really pathetic, just like ‘I’m a big fan of hers so everybody who doesn’t know about her is stupid’. Want a studio-musician quiz? You’ll lose.
She's a washed up bitch.
Vinyl Talk With Tavis She is a known liar.
@@danieljohnson1765 why?
Hello There She tried taking credit for many James Jamerson basslines . She played a lot of stuff but she is kinda nutty for recognition it seems to me.
Hollywood should make a movie about this unsung legend
She is portrayed in the 2014 movie "Love and Mercy", which was about Brian Wilson. At least she got a little bit of recognition.
There's a good documentary called "The Wrecking Crew," from 2015 and it's available on TH-cam. Ms. Kaye is featured throughout.
They can make sure to include the parts where she claimed credit for other studio musicians work after they were dead.
@@flacidhouse350 please be very specific in listing what dead studio musicians work she claimed to play ? Carol is still alive we could ask her about your claims. Again, please be very specific.
@@ironmandave3000 Jamie Jamerson. She claimed to have really played the Bass line from Bernadette which is his big signature piece. The controversy got so big that Eventually affidavits were actually signed by the producers saying that it was Jamerson and not her that recorded it. She wasn't even in the city when it happened.
The worst part was that she waited until Jamerson was dead to tell this lie.
I wouldn't suggest asking Carol about it. She is well aware of the controversy and would likely bite your head off over it.
"They are probably cutting something that will never sell anyway..". Gotta Love Carol
Nice one.
WhyCatholic
Such a comment was far beneath the level of respect many musicians, composers, singers, and producers have for her and her body of work over the decades. You can love Carol, but her juvenile attempt at thumbing the company and its employees in the eye because they were not pursuaded by her grandiose pronouncements, was neither cute nor clever.
Being a session musician means you have to keep your ego at the door. Of course she played on a bunch of #1 hits 50-40 years ago but she must understand she wasn't the face of the band. She's not a ''McCartney'' or what ever icon of the past.
WhyCatholic , best comment ever.
well, she has the resumeé to back up that claim, hasn't she?
Carol Kaye is a National Treasure! When I worked at West LA Music, she was in the shop to do a workshop.. At the time I had no idea who she was, but she and I talked for a long time about bass playing that day. Such an incredible Lady 🙌🏼
World treasure, you mean.
@@qtrust Absolutely! 🤗
Enshrine this woman in the Rock N Roll hall of fame already! What a crying shame!
Agreed!
The whole Wrecking Crew should be in there.
That's not how the rock and roll hall of fame works, dude. You sort of have to be in a band to become a legend. She did a lot of gig work.
practical intuition then why have Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer been inducted in the “sidemen” category? Dude.
I agree but instead they regularly induct people who are less worthy and not truly in the R&R genre. What an insult.
I hope Capitol Records got a lot of letters of protest about what their staff did to Carol Kaye!
I'm technically a "millennial", but I definitely love the music and culture of the 60's and early 70's... However this thread is showing me for the gazillionth time something must have gone terribly wrong because most babyboomers ended up being frustrated self-entitled "can I speak to your manager"-type old sour tarts.
Yes, she probably made a lot of money for that studio decades ago, but she also always had an easily replaceable role and a LOT of people that were/are a LOT more important made/make that studio a lot of money as well. There is no excuse for waddling in unannounced with a passive-aggressive entitled attitude expecting everybody to instantly drop everything for her. Respect is earned and she surely didn't earn any respect with that attitude
@@Candisa - and that is EXACTLY where you make the mistake - saying something like it is, is not "attitude" - it's called TRUTH!
@@nervotica7991 It may be the truth, but expecting everybody around her to drop everything when storming in unannounced definitely is an attitude.
@@Candisa - written like a true "Millennial". I think you heard and saw WAY more, than what was actually shown. Can i suggest you slow down on the meds...?
@@Candisa You're relating to the rude ignorant milleninals there, pop music was founded by baby boomers and any music fan would be interested in that instead of being so me and now.
"They're are probably cutting something that will never sell anyway." LOL. I agree with Carol
Yeah, she didn’t have a clue and neither do you. Those grapes were probably sour anyway huh?
@@jamescarter3196 You're the one whose clueless. Some crappy rap or worse, modern day pop was probably recorded in that studio.
@@reg4321 didn't the first person to see the Beatles in the 60s say "guitar music is ob the way out?" Come on boomer, don't be like that dipshit.
They didn’t realise who had walked though the door, idiots! That woman is a big part of musical history, god bless her!💕😉🇬🇧
They probably don't even know who the Beach Boys are. They're probably recording some piece of crap that is compressed like a brick and sounds like one too.
@@rodneylee4026A compressor is to the music like a can is to a sardines.
They were just to busy to press all their sardines into proper cans, so they left the music gem walk out without noticing a thing.
This woman is the real deal. One of the best guitar player's around.
They turned down Carol Kaye at the studio. Unbelievable. No respect.
they stated there was a session going on how would you feel if you were paying tens of thousands of dollars to record to have some random person who worked on some records 50 years ago come in and interrupt your time recording possibly the track you were recording because even talking outside the room can interfere with microphones I'm hearing a lot of people back her up without realizing why is going into recording respect for all the recordings you've been on but it's really sad to see someone not understands Studio courtesy
@@scottbean8591 If it was Carol Kaye I would stop what I was doing.
@@scottbean8591 Dude it's Carol
@@jimmybob5541 well, honestly.. before this video i didnt even knew who she was and i know music since the early 60's
Just type or say her name and see her image like that it's easy.
The shivers I got, when she played the licks for La Bamba especially. LOVE HER
“We’re the ones who made this studio” AMEN AND GOD BLESS THIS WOMAN TILL THE END. TRUE LEGEND. I shall do the same
If they had actually talked to one of the producers.. people would have run out the door to ask her if she wanted to lay something down..
Not Ready To Gig exactly. That would have been cool
No...wrong..half of these so called producers are clueless
So good comment! Can you imagine? This is one of the beauty of life: Surf the occasion, take a chance, here's a bass Madam!
I love you Carol 😍. You are the reason I'm playing bass in my band right now ‼️Those people in the studio will never know what they lost by turning you away. 🎸
Thank you Carol. You just gave me my first bass lesson.
This is very sad.....but true testament to the music business and just how quickly you're cast aside.
Most creative industries are the same I find.
How quickly? You mean over the course of decades?
seems to be true. unless you have a few platinum records on the wall.
@@gregb7595 The sad thing is she helped to put those platinum records on someone else's wall but barely got any recognition at all.
She wasn't making them Millions of dollars anymore so she didn't matter.
Great example of 2 kids that didn't know who they were speaking to.
She should have told them "I'm just the bass player for the Wrecking Crew "!
@@scottycrooks Lol ... yeh that would have done it.
frank castle - to be fair, 9 out of 10 times when someone walks in and points at the records on the wall saying she played on them, its probably a person who hasn’t taken their meds. As a minimum wage security dude you’re thinking, do I really want to be fired over letting a nutcase in. I’d do the same.
U should watch the video of David Lee Roth when he hears a stag playing Van Halen, knocks on the door to say hi (while in vegas) and they have this blank 20yr old stare...(are we busted look)
"Hi I'm David Lee Roth,...cricket's...."
@@PresidentGas1 If someone had explained them about the Wrecking Crew...
1:35 😭😭 why she like 70 and blazed that groove like that though? She's ain't no hack. She was the truth.
She was not a hack, still aint. She'll play you under the table.
"ya, know...that kinda stuff". Yeah, like the most iconic sounds ever recorded
Then when they all left the studio they googled Carol Kaye and felt like idiots......
doubtful
They be like... "Carol who?"
We be like... "Do you even music bro?"
I doubt they could even spell her name correctly.
Probably not. All too often the newbies have no knowledge, interest, or respect for anything older than ten minutes ago.
@A.C. B. ART you know, young people might be more likely to enjoy older music if they didn't associate it with elitist pricks like you LOL
C'est la vie Carol. You practically helped built the place and it's a no go even for a peek inside. Well, there are plenty of folks who appreciate great music and great musicians. We know who you are. Being in your presence would be considered an honor. 💜🎸
Wow, unbelievable! Way to go OCEAN WAY RECORDING! Carol Kaye stops by the studio and they don't even even let her in?
Probably didn't know who she is. Should have been arranged beforehand.
Russ Coleman she told them who she was. How do you work/manage at ocean way recording and not know who carol kaye is? That’s a lack of respect to be working in that industry let alone the actual studio that she was a huge part of and not show just a little respect.
@@zach9809 I think you overestimate millennials.
@@zach9809 Absolutely right...
I got to see a couple of sessions of the wrecking crew,and got to meet both Kay,and Leon Russel afterwards. What a great lady !!! Thank You for your years of hard work,Carol !!! Who knew the fame they would achieve ??
The owners of that studio are typical of people in music today. As a professional musician of 51 I have lost count of how many self appointed experts have never heard of The Wrecking Crew yet they call themselves musicians.
Villaboy No one cares grandpa.

@Lloyd Stout No reason for the attitude, that counts for her and you.
So much respect for Carol Kaye. The wrecking crew are rock 'n roll royalty
Sad she didn’t get the respect she deserved at Studio, but what a music maker! Thank you Carol For your contribution to all the incredible music that we grew up with.!
What a total musical legend Carol Kaye is. When she was lured away from her original career path, it was a hard-to-calculate loss for jazz guitar, but what an *epochal* gain it was for the electric bass and for the history of rock and pop.
The studio part broke my Heart.
Carol is a gift to the world.
Was that disrespectful or what. She is a legend and the people working in the studio are a bunch of nobodies.
Yeah, it’s disrespectful for her to show up at random as though everybody is supposed to just stop their session and shower her with affection. Who was in the studio? Do you know? No, you don’t and you made up some stupid whiny-ass speculation just to try making yourself feel smart for knowing who she is, but you’re just whiny, that’s all. Might have been somebody every bit as talented as her behind that door, but you don’t have a clue, just like all the people who didn’t have a clue about her when she was recording. See how that works?
@@jamescarter3196 i agree . Maybe they just showed up without any appointment and expected the people to recognize her instantly.
When she said, "I'm Carol Kaye," any legit musician should fawn. That's literally all it should take.
vpking77 . They were just anxious because the boss was firing their workmate for being ill mannered, ignorant and no sense of priority.
Very rude and sad smh
Love that last statement by Carol! So true. She is music royalty. How do you not let Carol Kaye inside of Ocean Way studio? Smh. She recorded SO MANY hits there.
@Jonathan Rose thanks. We got to tour the studio once when I was in an audio class at AI. We got to see (what they claimed was) the first digital mixer. This was back in 00'.
Carol, we adore and honor you. Forever Carol!! Screw that studio
Well? All I can say about the end of that video is; this is what happens when you throw pearls to swine. She is literally an integral 'pulse' behind countless hits during the undoubtedly greatest era of popular music history. Forgive them, Carol! They know not what they do! Thank you for taking us all to better places in our hearts through your often overlooked, but immaculate talent and unmistakable genius!
I love how she can recall every song and not miss a note. A true treasure.
Carole Kaye and the Wrecking Crew belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
I agree!
Absolutely!
Roll the red carpet for this wonderful lady... was reading into Rare Earth and I stumbled upon the Wrecking Crew and that lead me into this LEGENDARY MUSICIAN... my goodness what a resume...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes, she is/was/will always be, someone special in music history.
She is absolutely right what she said. Carol is a legend involved in making some of the best music ever show her some respect.
"They're cutting something that will never sell." Love it.
Okay, Boomer!
She is such a great role model for female musicians in the music business... Soo cool!
Don't feel bad Carol, these young fools probably didn't even know who Sam Cook was!
I remember hearing about the Three Stooges being denied entrance into Columbia Studios after 30 years with the studio!
Cooke with an e
God, it’s pathetic how some people are trying so hard to feel smart about knowing who Carol is, that you’re just making up silly shit that means nothing. If the Three Stooges didn’t work there then they should be denied RANDOM entry just like this studio did with Carol. She planned badly. That’s nobody else’s fault but hers and the film crew. They probably went along with her arrogance about it, like the doors would open and the wine would start flowing and all the old buddies would be there. You want to speculate, mine’s better than yours.
@@jamescarter3196 Read it again. What he said, Mr Dumbia, is they WORKED for Columbia! Just as Carol worked with Ocean Way Recording studios. She worked with some of their biggest stars that helped the studio get where it is today. But neither Columbia or Ocean Way worked with Jethro Tull, who wrote the song "Thick as a Brick", which seems to describe you.
@@wordreet
Actually he's got a point. If you're not currently employed in a workplace, an owner, or a client of it, you cannot simply walk in off the street and demand entry. Doesn't matter how much history you've got there. Now, most places can be quite accommodating if you arrange something with them ahead of time. But to simply walk in and demand entry is unreasonable at best, criminal at worst.

Great Lady. I (in my ignorance) didn´t know who you were before I watched this video. I do now, and thank you so much.
I have always loved these bass lines. Never knew one person was single handedly responsible for them all. Amazing stuff.
Are you kidding me? She’s a GD LEGEND! Treat her like that
disgusting how she was treated at the end
couldn't they at least give her a chance and show her some respect?
they probably didn't even know who she was!
Amazing human being and her contributions to music speak for themselves.
Carol Kaye- Champion and Legend
Damn... I would love to sit down and listen to her. So much history.
That was disgusting. It would be like Jeanie Knight, King Floyd or James Stroud walkng back into Malaco and getting turned away. But the guys at Malaco would never do that.
BluzGuitar Guy Fishing Antics "We're the ones who made this studio..."
Carol Kay is absolutely music royalty...! 🤘🏾
Dang straight, she is royalty ! Like Steve Cropper at Stax.
BluzGuitar Guy Fishing Antics No doubt...Colonel "Play it" Steve Cropper is one of my all time favorites. Real nice guy too.
As is James Burton, our hometown player. Shot a video from my boat, on the lake out behind his house recently. Going to get more footage this weekend. Maybe we can get James to come outside if he's home. He's a VERY nice guy! Always willing to stop and chat.
BluzGuitar Guy Fishing Antics No doubt. JB is a picking beast. Guess what he and Steve Cropper have in common?
They are both Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, amazing session guys, and they both laid down iconic music while playing Teles... 🤘🏾
Nice to see some of these fabulous session musicians getting some recognition. Many people have never heard of them except by reading the liner notes.
My son picked up the bass at 14, in 2013, I played all Carol Kaye bass line music for him asked him what he thought of the bass lines, he said they were iconic. Carol Kaye is his favorite bass player and McCartney! Lo, is now the bass player for Favor ( Sounds From The Sand, an Austin TX band) and still considers Ms Kaye the best EVER! Ms Kye you sent out ripples in the music world that are still being felt throughout the world! Bless you!
Sad that she didn't get the credit she deserved. What an amazing artist ❤
Are you kidding me!!! They didn't let her in!!!
Jeez,the same kind of ignorant stupidity when the bouncer at Tygar's(?) post Grammy party wouldn't let Paul McCartney and Beck in.
They were working at that time.
Easy solution: Call ahead, make an appointment, show the interviewer around (the interviewer should have called ahead). Shes also mostly a session musician so it isnt really surprising that they wont recognize her. Its not like Freddie Mercury walked in.
J listen, ignorant young dweeb, have you ANY idea whatsoever as to the work this woman participated and is credited for?
Your sheer stupidity is baffling.
J, yes they were working, but they could have said, look come back at blah blah blah. But they didn't, they had no clue who she was and that's what's sad because if I go to work for a company, I want to know it's history. Now true, the "producers" should have made arrangements, but imagine if Elvis were alive and he went to Sun Studios with a film crew and some idiot said no were busy with a tour you can't come in.
Nic Lira and then there are people who work somewhere because they need work, there are people who dont know every musician ever. And then there are people who are stressed,... We know nothing about these people and their current circumstances. And your comparison to Elvis is just the same as it is with my comparison to Freddie Mercury. Carol Kaye is not Elvis.
Carol Kaye walks in and they throw her out?!
Bastards!
She was musically brilliant enough and likable and smart enough to have done very well at the right time in an industry that sucks and burns artists out and throws them away. Bravo to her! Her contributions will last generations.
She wasn't nearly forceful enough at that studio. The last known survivor of a byegone era being treated as if she is some tourist?
with a name like hawk no surprise youre a douchebag
Like she said, they’re probably recording garbage anyway. (I’m paraphrasing)
@monokhem Roll over and buy another Justin Bieber album, fool.
@monokhem sorry but can't compare the beach boys ( and i dont like them much) or sam cooke to the biebers of today, also, she wrote parts for the music which became staples in popular music, that is hardly just playing back up
@monokhem lol oh wow you never heard him plagiarizing chuck berry? it is a well known fact but if you want to stay in denial so be it lol
Carol you’re the best! Literally!
I’m enjoying your book and recommend everyone get a copy of it as well as her instructional books.
The end reminds me of Nixon: "When you're out, you are REALLY out."
I've felt it myself.
“I made a lot of money for this studio, by the way” Legend 😂
Wow! If there was one famous person I would want to spend the day with it would be Carol Kaye. This woman defines cool! Her personality and stories she has to tell are just amazing, not to mention her great musical talent.
In some country they would've bowed down and kissed the ground she walked on. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Ms. Kaye.
Give this women some respect!!!
@@ronschaffer5959 What the fuck is your problem with Carol Kaye, you asshole? Just on here to be a dickhead? This woman is a legend, and you're a nothing, so fuck off.
Carol was in the right place at the right time, for sure. She and her fellow musicians created more hits in seven years than you can shake a stick at. A prime example of her playing defining a hit was her bass line for Sonny and Cher's " And the Beat Goes On. " The musical input of her and Hal Blaine, Tommy Tedesco, Larry Knechtel and others were responsible for huge record sales for many artists. God bless them all!
I only found out about her a few years ago, like most of us I suppose.
What is amazing is that she came up with so many good bass riffs and licks
Any good session player could follow music sheets
But to invent those riffs
Kind of like Louis Shelton on the guitar so may good lead breaks etc
Carol Kaye... She was the best sessionist. She deserve a lifetime achievement award
She's a legend!
Yes she was a great studio musician, I wouldn't expect they would let someone with a camera crew to walk in unannounced. She should have called ahead...yes they should have gone to the back to someone who may have known her from the old days but they didn't. Ms. Kaye line about making the studio a lot of money back in the day is priceless.
CK has class : and that’s how she walked out. She is such a pleasure to listen to with all her diverse musical journey. Hard to believe HOW MANY riffs she did!!!💪🏽✅✅✅✅✅
What an amazing woman. We need to hear more stories like this the behind the scene the making.
Doe's anyone else hope that studio goes bankrupt?
fuck yeah... that studio needs to be burned to the ground.
Yes
You can help by boycotting any music that comes out of there
@@matthewlewis9996 like you aren't going to forget about this video in a week.
@@calebangell77 what does that mean?
Keep on teaching all of us these valuable musical lessons. We need to hear it.
Thank you so much. So inspired to keep on playing my guitar
She’s a true Gem!
The studio probably had a boy band singing thru Auto-tune !
UNBELIEVABLE. Utterly REPUGNANT. It is incredible to me how we get a taste of what she is capable of as an artist, everything she has accomplished, and who she recorded with, and they pretty much just kicked her out. Makes me ill.
What's it like, being that weak?
thetevinator: I agree with u 100%! I'm effing pissed after seeing that!
True legend and in a time when the ladies were a tad suppressed. Never heard her complaining just making music for the world.
I watched this video many times, and I still can't get over the DISRESPECT that they showed Carol Kaye at that studio.
if sam cooke walked in they wouldn't know him either..and kick his ass to the curb...
Virgin Studio Walk:
- Doesn't know what a 'Carol Kaye' even is.
- if you're older than Justin Beiber, you're not important.
- musical legend comes through? Wait till I'm done with my mocha latte.
Chad Carol Kaye:
- invented the grooves that defined the popular music currently being butchered at the studio.
- appeared on more hot records than these artist ever will.
- So good that Quincy Jones said, "Just do whatever".
you totally nailed it !
Okay, Boomer!
Straight fax fuck those studio people
@@silvermachine6062 Okay, boomer!
Love you Carol! True musician and a classy lady!
You're a legend Carol. And you were a huge part in making Rock and Roll and R&B magic.
Amen!
I betcha those young punks at the record studio said after she'd gone: "Who was that crazy old lady??"
They didn't care who she was because they no longer make music. They stick to the "formula".
now days MOST songs on earth are written by two people
@Rob Holloway they only sent her away for one of two reasons ...1) they were clueless to the fact that SHE single-handedly doubled that studio's earnings , at least ...2) they didn't care that #1 was the case . anybody in that studio may have lost a chance to lay down a LEGENDARY track and WE are the lesser for the fact that she was asked to leave . anybody IN THE STUDIO will now die knowing they might have had a chance to interact with this brilliant woman , but now it will never happen thanks to the rudeness of the front of the studio .
they could've told her to come back later ..but obviously they didnt want her there at all..had nothing to do with whatever bullshit they were doing at the time.
You're right the formula is cookie dough...
Wow...can't believe the arrogance of that recording studio...DO THEY NOT REALIZE WHO THEY TURNED AWAY??? She is one of the most famous session musos to ever walk this earth!! Stunned.
Wow not sure why this was in my feed but glad it was. Great muscian and interesting history I never knew
Unbelievable. Disrespect at a whole new level. They are working in the Industry. They should know the name Carol Kaye
@monokhem if she isn't important you should not even be allowed to breathe the air on this earth
@monokhem scathing reply
a woman playing like she can at the time she did with the wrecking crew...yeah, she us a legend. retired engineer , here.
@monokhem "Novelty"??? Kanye West is a "Novelty" half of the musicians today are novelties and who will they say they worked with for all those years?? Oh right, they wont because its all computer, digital etc whatever you want to call it, no musicians have to show up, they do it all on a machine.This ol lady can still play an instrument.
@@Roxy-ch4gv I agree - if Quincy Jones does an arrangement but leaves the Bass part blank because he trusts her judgement and ability, then that is all you need to know.
Big stuff up that lady is a living legend bet they are kicking themselves now
What a disgrace! I can’t believe she was so graceful. Respect for Carol!
So graceful that she didn’t contact the studio to find a good time to go there, and then pulled the “I’m famous” bullshit when they didn’t let her wander around during business. She planned poorly and whined about it, and insulted them with some imaginary sour-grapes shit when she didn’t have a clue what was going on in the studio and there could have damn well been somebody every bit as talented as her back there.
@@jamescarter3196 Why don't you shove your stupid comments up your ass, dumb fuck!
They should have taken a break, and listened carefully to anything this lady had to say. Their loss.
*jim* It wasn't a 'loss' to them. Who are you to tell others what they should/should not do?
Mr. Charlie . They can do whatever they want, it's their session. I have worked in a recording studio for 30 years. I would have taken a break.
I doubt the people in the lobby were the ones doing the session.
They're probably the interns or the runners
Damn hand her a frackin guitar and tell her to sit in...solid gold my friends...nothing like ignorance to feed lost opportunity
She is a treasure and a gift to the progression of rock music.
Geez, I am almost ashamed to say that I’ve never heard of Carol, but though I am late to the party, I’m staying for the music. This woman is incredible!!💖💖💖💚💚💚🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Carol is beyond amazing! Last scene at the studio made want to punch that punk in the face and I am a very calm non-violent individual!!! Carol is a musical genius!!!!!
No, you’re not a calm non-violent person if you want to punch somebody from a video just because they don’t recognize random studio musicians walking in off the street and disrupting business. You’re a pugnacious jerk who gets pissed about very unimportant things that don’t affect your life.
