You might want to ask Carol what she thinks of the so called 'Wrecking Crew' before you go associating her name with it...9 years ago

AS a bass player, I can say that she was a major influence on my career. If I could play as well as her I'd be rich.Paul McCartney, Carol Kaye,Jack Bruce, Chris Squire, and Tony Levin are my all time favorate bass players.10 years ago

I'm cool with her except for her claim that she played on Motown records instead of James Jamerson. You played on remakes for a TV show and by other artists not the original. Quit lying.11 years ago

Jann Wenner's hatred of Chicago is well-known. Chicago should be in the RRHOF solely based on their first 2 albums.11 years ago

The R & R hall of fame is total politics. If your not in their "click" you don't get in. Chicago is not in the Hall of fame How many huge hits have they had?11 years ago

I worked with Los Angeles studio guitarist Jerry Cole, who was part of the 1st call studio roster. I remember him mentioning the term 'Wrecking Crew' a number of times. He was there in the studios sitting next to Hal Blain, Carol Kaye, Tommy Tedesco and many others back in the day..11 years ago

love hearing her stories. i wonder what she thinks of esperanza spalding. For another great female bassist check out our sister debbie who played on stage with the greatest rnb groups of the 70's. check out debbie on our brown sugar video watch?v=gqDSKcXP5A011 years ago

IMO it is the result of claims to music that she says that she played on that has proven incorrect (by the people who actually recorded said music) on so many levels that she is in the situation she is in with the RRHOF. Anybody familiar with the claims made knows exactly what is meant...11 years ago

How can those who create the songs you want to hear keep making music if they don’t get anything in return? Watch our headphone wearing savoir make his case and convince dedicated music fans to buy some music and keep it ALIVE! Spread the word! IF THE ARTISTS DON’T GET PAID THE MUSICIANS WON’T EITHER!

I was heading back to New York, My hometown, and she was On her way to L.A. we started a conversation cause we Both had "Gig Bags" On our shoulders. She was a.One of the Nicest, Most encouraging people to me Id ever met and b. Just a badd ass Musician! matter of fact,when I told her My very 1st Bass Book was written By her she smiled and said, "well when you make it, tell em I taught you everything you know". I Do!11 years ago

I can't speak for Carol, and won't. You can go to her website where there's a wealth of information about her career. :)11 years ago

Just a question. Why does she find the name as offensive? Maybe she called them The Clique, and maybe that is why she finds the other name offensive. But is there another implication to the name? I don´t think it is offensive at all, suggests power and professionalism...at least no one called them The Assholes...lol...not flaming, just a question to try to learn more about this issue. Thank you!11 years ago

I'm not saying that she's not an awesome bassist! Like I said, she made some really awesome basslines! But I've heard a lot about her behavior being rude. I should have just said that, not that she's a "huge jerk". I'm not dismissing her, I still respect her and learn choose to learn from her.11 years ago

Although, you have to admit Rush is an amazing band but they still have yet to induct them. I don't like Kiss either.Related Videos
