Reggie's playing on the electric sitar is unbelievable. And what's even more incredible is the fact that he couldn't read a note of music. He played it all by ear.

Can't believe these musicians were payed hourly. They were the reason the songs existed and became hits! Hell they should've been paid royalties. Hell just a penny wouldve made them rich. I mean its insane to think about everyone gets royalties except the guys that actually make the song listenable. Just absolutely crazy! I hope this gets straightened out and their paid substantially better now. I mean what would happen if they all went on strike and no musician would play unless they got royalties and hourly wage? There would be no music. Obviously the bands that play their own music would make money because they all get royalties. But these session guys are huge and some of them become actual artists. But man I'm so mad that they don't get their due.

I can't believe that musicians don't receive royalties in the United States or England. Smaller, poorer, capitalist countries pay royalties to their musicians. It's called performance royalties and you just go to the organization with a record that has your name in the credits.

Ray Edenton was the "superb rhythm guitarist," who was with the A-Team from the get go, he told me he played on over 15,000 sessions with the team. Sadly missed, RIP, September 2002.

Now in Nashville we’ve got 20 people that can knock it out, so if you can’t make it on guitar, I’ll call Brent Mason lol or ask Gary Prim to line them up or Kelly Back.?

Reggie was do Good and Humble 😅😅😅

It's too bad there isn't more footage of Jamerson playing. There aren't even that many still pictures.

Criminal they never got royalties.

this is how money destroys art... everything sounds the same. Nashville is a factory, playing the same way behind different singers. AI will continue this bc the producers can finally get rid of session players. the future looks bleak. money always wins

Hi, Nice video on your channel, I really enjoy it. Your channel has 14.7k total members, 4936290 total views and 46 total uploaded videos.

Most Iconic Jet Sound and Those drums on Preacher Man are Heavenly

RESPECT.

Gil baker is a liar he’s a plant by the cia

Thank you guys for your hard work!! I always thought ‘damn!! That sounds awesome!!!’ You gotta get self satisfaction but deserve so much more!!!!

Was Carol Kaye in this group?

Such a great little studio, with great musicians and some great artists.

I've watched this so many times, his right hand can't be more perfect, his harmonies/chords with his voice - it's unbelievable.

If this is all about the Nashville "A-Team", why towards the end are there interspersed clips of the Westcoast's "Wrecking Crew" Glenn Campbell and Carol Kaye are the dead giveaway playing together...

This should be one of the most liked videos on KZbin

This team and the west coast “Wrecking Crew” are the reason so much popular music sounds so bland and dull in my opinion. Musicians acting like machines to pump out a product. Give me a great live band any day.

Yes, they were cheated

This is great! It's definitely a tough song to know the chords. Glen had it down!

Ahh...that sounded like a Talking Heads song - Life During Wartime.

You know I've been a working musician my whole life I think God for every dollar I make playing and one thing that needs to be righted if not a million things in this industry is the way that these studio musicians are treated these men have written the parts that we've grown up to and listen to our whole lives and now another generation is doing the same thing and their humble honest good people and they don't get the recognition or the financial benefits that they should

Sneaking in some closing video of Chips Moman’s Memphis Boys under a Nashville banner! Shame. 🤣 Although Reggie did find a home in Nashville.

Szuper !!!!

Glenn Campbell could play anything. He was such a huge talent. He also had one-of-the sweetest voices. His timbre was indescribable. Such a fine, good man

Hey guys! I know this is kinda late but my great grandmother was Johnny MacRae’s wife Marge Barton and she wrote a many songs with Both. She was great friends with George Jones and I met him as a child. I was born in ‘91 and learned about all these greats growing up until she passed in 2002. PLEASE do a small cover on her. Thanks

I think I subconsciously learned more about music from listening to Dylan'' " Nashville Skyline Rag " album before I even began to play all the instruments I mastered. How simply and tastefully they backed the songs up. Unfortunately it's not how good you play it's how well you fit in and be an " ass-kisser ". Otherwise I'd of been rich and famous 40 years ago. Arts got nothing to do with the music world. It's run by the Mafia and the Drug Cartels. It always has been and always will be.

no mention of Jimmy Capps hmmm

love it

I love this song!

So beautiful this. Brings tears to my eyes every single time. What an exceptional talent Glenn had. Jimmy could write, but Glenn Campbell made his songs superb.

RIP guitarist Reggie Young, organist Bobby Emmons and bassist Mike Leech (also Tommy Cogbill), which leaves drummer Gene Chrisman and pianist Bobby Wood as the last surviving members of this group. Also, gone are The Memphis Horns (trumpeter Wayne Jackson and saxophonist Andrew Love), also, it should be noted that the rhythm section on "Dock Of The Bay" is Booker T. & The M.G.'s, and the only American Sound Studio band members who played on "Drift Away" were Reggie Young (lead guitar) and Mike Leech (bass, arranger, conductor), with Nashville stalwarts Troy Seals (rhythm guitar), David Briggs (keyboards) and Kenny Malone (drums, percussion) being used for the rest of the instrumentation. This is why today's music doesn't have the lasting legacy of these timeless classics - instead of using real musicians for today's music, they rely largely or entirely on synthesizer and drum machine "instrumentation".

Glen’s amazing!

The original “A team”. Fantastic. Sooo much talent there. 👍 Grady Martin was The man.

Reggie Young is my all time favorite session guitarist. I have followed his work for years. He definitely left a mark on every project he did.

Epic

Alas, royalties aren't paid to dead musicians.

I guess studio time is too expensive to have the actual band wasting time trying to get it right. Get in get it done get out. Thank you boys here's $300.

Loved the jam at the end.

is that the rightest band in the universe? Which only could be matched by Motown's Funk Brothers?

Nowadays music is done on computers it's a synthetic form it saddens me music has a soul I only hope it isn't dying

I can totally appreciate what these men have contributed I only hope the future generations will keep it going music is a lot like I don't know I just know how I feel

How ironic that the sound is so F'd up

Great video of THE legends of recording. One thing I’ve never understood is why unionization got intermingled with creating art. The industry worked those guys like plow mules…whilst they just wanted to play.

SERVE THE SONG!

These are the Men! WooF!!

I saw Brenda Lee in one of those really cheesy Rock & Roll movies around 57' or 58'. Which put her at 13, and me around.6 or 7 years old. I fell in love with the "older woman". Lol! I.mean, we were the same height....... 😅😅😀 ..... Peace. ..

The boys(and girl) that we knew very little of back in the day, God bless 'em all for the great music they made........magical.
