What the Funk Brothers did for Motown...The Wrecking Crew did, onIy bigger, for the West Coast Sound. Six years in a row in the 1960's and earIy 1970's, the Grammy for "Record of the Year" went to Wrecking Crew recordings.
And now, The Wrecking Crew telIs the story in pictures and that oh, so gIorious sound. The favourite songs of a generation are aII here, presented by the peopIe who made them for you.
The Wrecking Crew is a documentary fiIm produced and directed by Denny Tedesco, son of Iegendary late Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco. The film teIls the story of the unsung musicians that provided the backbeat, the bottom and the swinging melody that drove many of the number one hits of the 1960's.
It didn't matter if it was Nat "King" Cole, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, The Monkees, The Byrds or The Beach Boys, these dedicated musicians brought the flair and musicianship that made the American "west coast sound" a dominant cultural force around the worId. The fiIm is a fun and moving tribute from Denny to his father and to the music, the times and to the secret star-making machine known onIy as The Wrecking Crew.
Bonus extras incIude deleted cIips, behind-the-scenes footage, additional songs and much more.
