Some years back, for one of Denro’s birthdays I got him a book called Hal Blaine and the Wrecking Crew, about the session musicians who reigned in the Los Angeles recording studios of the 60’s, into the 70’s. Later, I heard about a documentary being made about the Wrecking Crew, but the production was delayed so many times I forgot about it.
Robbie Leff has pointed out that the documentary finally exists, but has not yet been released. Some of the interviews obviously were filmed quite some time ago — and good thing, too. What a shock it is, seeing Dick Clark as he was before his stroke, but I don’t believe he didn’t know about session musicians until the Monkees.
