When you’ve played on songs by Elvis, Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, Sonny and Cher, Barbra Streisand, Jan and Dean, The Monkeys, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, The Righteous Brothers, The Carpenters, Simon & Garfunkel, The Tijuana Brass, The Mamas & The Papas, The Ventures and The 5th Dimension you’d think people might know your name. But for the majority of certain 1960’s studio musicians, known as The Wrecking Crew, we don’t recognize their names. Glen Campbell is the likely exception.
The Wrecking Crew guitarist Bill Pitman recently passed away at age 102. Watch this trailer to see a bit of a rockumentary about the amazing musicians known as The Wrecking Crew. Bill, Rest In Peace.
