They were the studio musicians behind some of the biggest hits in the 1960s and 70s. From “Be My Baby” to “California Girls;” “Strangers in the Night” to “Mrs. Robinson;” “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’” to “Up, Up and Away;” and from “Viva Las Vegas” to “Mr. Tambourine Man,” the group dubbed The Wrecking Crew played on them all. Six years in a row in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the Grammy for “Record of the Year” went to Wrecking Crew member recordings.
But like the Funk Brothers at Motown, who finally got the credit they deserved with the film “Standing in the Shadows of Motown,” the story of the Wrecking Crew and its influence on the West Coast Sound and pop music has largely gone untold. Until now. “The Wrecking Crew,” a documentary film produced and directed by Denny Tedesco, son of
legendary late Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco, was a sensation when it debuted the closing night of the Nashville Film Festival and has gone on to win the hearts (and ears) of filmgoers across the country.
