Synopsis

6 years in a row in the 1960’s and early 1970’s, the Grammy for ‘Record of the Year’ went to Wrecking Crew recordings. The film tells the story of the unsung musicians that provided the backbeat 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 or The Beach Boys, these dedicated musicians made the American ‘West Coast sound’ a dominant cultural force around the world.
