Quotation

Opening intro: The Wrecking Crew was the focal point of the music. They were the ones with all the spirit, and all the know-how, especially for rock and roll music. In the hardcore producing area, everybody knew what went on there. I mean, everybody knew that the best musicians played on all the sessions, but we as the general public didn't know. I had no idea that certain people didn't play their own records until The Monkees came along. ... We played on everybody's. The Lazy-Crazy-Hazy Days of Summer album with Nat King Cole, it was the same guys doing that, that was doing The Beach Boys. The musicians were really the unsung heroes of all those hit records. === Even though the term "The Wrecking Crew" gained popularity with rock historians, many of these musicians never heard the term until years later. I think Hal Blaine was the first one I heard it from.
