The knowledge and stories that Wrecking Crew legend Hal Blaine accumulated during his storied session career could fill volumes.
He played on six consecutive Grammy award-winning Record of the Year performances from 1966 through to 1971, as a key member of The Wrecking Crew (the name coined by Blaine for a group of successful session musicians in LA in the 1960s). If a song was in the Top 10 during the ’60s all the way through to the early-’80s, the drummer was more than likely Blaine.
