The Wrecking Crew! Page #2
- Yeah, exactly.
Well, that's how that whole
wrecking crew thing came in.
Even though the term
"The Wrecking Crew"
gained popularity
with rock historians,
many of these musicians
never heard the term
until years later.
the first one I heard it from.
- Yeah, it...
- He probably
came up with the name.
I think it kind of evolved
really.
- There was...
- The first time I heard
the name, I think
was at The Baked Potato,
where they had
that get-together.
They used the expression
"the wrecking crew."
Well, it was used before that.
It was used
while we were recording.
And the definition of who was
a member of The Wrecking Crew,
there really isn't

Anybody could do
five or six different things
on as many different
instruments also.

They could do soul music.
classics if they'd had to,
but they had the magic touch.
We injected
a lot of ourself into it,
because we were
experts at doing it.
We were doing it all the time.
A guy would give us
a lead sheet or something,
and we'd know what the song was.
We made up a lot
of arrangements and so forth
on that set,
ourselves on those things.
Here's the way
that The Beat Goes On sounded
I said, "Uh-oh,
we need to pull
a rabbit out of a hat
for this one," you know?
It was our job to come up
with riffs and stuff,
I came up with was:
and he gave it to Bob West,
the bass player, to play it.
And both of us are playing it
throughout the tune.
And without a good bass line,
the tune doesn't pop, you know,
it doesn't snap, you know,
