I became aware of her from the Carol Keen character in Mrs. Maisel
Absolutely watch the documentary “The Wrecking Crew”, in which she features fairly prominently.
Third the wrecking crew as a must watch.
She is an inspiration for sure!
The Wrecking Crew documentary is a fantastic watch - well worth your time.
" Unless you’re a hardcore music nerd" Woo hoo ! I want my badge right now !
The only problem i have with documentaries like this they destroy my childhood illusions. The Beach Boys didn’t play their own music? I did not need to know that.
I don’t know. I’ve watched it several times, and I can’t find the bass player.
Keep your childhood illusions. Don’t look behind the curtain: Simon and Garfunkle, The Byrds, The Association, Buffalo Springfield, and, brace yourself, Milli Vanilli.
From the article: Fans continue to lobby for her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
?? You’d think she would have been inducted years ago.
Ohio Players @bluecat?
There’s a great clip of her showing Gene Simmons how it’s done:
I studied w/her in LA in the 70’s when she was teaching. Great musician, lady, & advanced soul.
Talked to her several times at NAMM shows therafter-always gracious & generous. A place in the R n’ R Hall of Fame is well deserved.
Another good wrecking crew piece - Love this bass line.
Hell, she shoulda been inducted had she done nothing more than the bass line to Wichita Lineman.
Carol Kaye is an absolute legend. She has played bass on so many iconic songs.
I highly recommend the Wrecking Crew documentary. It’s on Hulu.
