Original Wrecking Crew Member Carol Kaye Talks to Dutch TV About Her Most Iconic Guitar/Bass Licks

In March 2018, the legendary Carol Kaye, who was an original member of the Wrecking Crew, helped to develop Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" and an incredibly prolific session musician, sat down with the Dutch NTR station Top 2000 a gogo to talk about her career.
