On this Episode Tom and Bert discuss the "Famous" California Session Musicians known as "The Wrecking Crew"!

During the infancy years of Rock n Roll Music way back in the 1950's and 1960's many of the major Recording Labels like Columbia, Capital and Warner Brothers were trying to record great music tracks at their sound studios. 

Since many of the U.S.A. Acts were out west in Los Angeles the Label Managers wanted to enhance the recordings of many of the groups and bands so they decided to hire session musicians or as we would say "Real Pro's".... to lay down the "Music" and record with the artists.

That's where the "Wrecking Crew" created their magic and excelled! 

 It shows the impact that this group of pro's had on such artists as The Beach Boys, The Mama's and Papa's, Sonny and Cher, The Byrds, The 5th Dimension, John Denver, Elvis, The 4 Tops, The Supremes, Simon and Garfunkel and Stevie Wonder and many, many more.

Here is their Story!
