Episode description
"Carol Kaye" was the "first call" bassist for recording sessions between the late 50s, to the early 70s in the recording studios of L.A. She was a part of an elite group of musicians known as "The Wrecking Crew", who were called into the studios by producers such as Quincy Jones and Phil Spector. These musicians were responsible for creating the basslines, guitar riffs, and drum beats that have shaped the lives of countless musicians, and music enthusiasts. Carol agreed to come on the show to talk about her life, what it was like in the studios, and some amazing anecdotes about working with Phil Spector, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and Sonny and Cher.
