Trivia
Denny Tedesco originally planned for this to be a 30-minute filmed round table chat between some of the leading session musicians of the day. Instead he found he was confronted with such a wealth of material that the natural solution was to turn it into a feature film. He says he has 6-1/2 hours of additional material not in the film and is still filming interviews with survivors of the Wrecking Crew era.
Quotes
Hal Blaine:
What do you call a trombone player with a beeper?
Hal Blaine:
An optimist.
Goofs
A sequence showing an unseen hand flipping through a record bin containing albums on which the Wrecking Crew played. But one of the LP's is the Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go?," whose backing was played by Motown's Detroit-based house band, the Funk Brothers, not the Wrecking Crew.
