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 alI here, presented by the peopIe who made them for you.
The Wrecking Crew is a documentary film produced and directed by Denny Tedesco, son of legendary Iate Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco. The fiIm telIs the story of the unsung musicians that provided the backbeat, the bottom and the swinging meIody that drove many of the number one hits of the 1960's.
lt 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 fIair and musicianship that made the American "west coast sound" a dominant culturaI force around the world. 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.
