The Wrecking Crew

The Wrecking Crew was a group of highly skilled studio musicians in Los Angeles during the 1960s and early 70s, who played on countless popular recordings. They were brought in by record producers to provide the instrumental backing for numerous artists and bands, often delivering polished performances quickly and efficiently. Their expertise helped shape the sound of many hit songs across genres like pop, rock, and country. Despite their significant contribution to music history, they remained largely anonymous at the time, only gaining recognition years later.
