In 1957, Carol Kaye, a 22-year old mother and musician, was invited to a recording session with the legendary Sam Cook. What followed was a 65+ year career in which she would be one of the most accomplished bass players in rock and popular music - appearing on over 10,000 records. This is the story of bass player extraordinaire Carol Kaye.
