CAROL KAYE

[@7775Kevin]

She came up with such phenomenal bass lines. Nothing but respect for her. Great musician.

[@seniorsurveyor]

I am a bass player myself. I first learned of Kaye about 5 years ago. I consider her one of my HERoes. An amazing woman and gifted musician. Thanks for posting.

[@stevennemeth6256]

She's a bonafide Bad ass. Broke ground as a woman in a mans world. And along the way created some of the most memorable guitar and bass lines of any musician...ever. If you play guitar, and especially bass...you NEED to learn about Carol Kaye.

[@sgtpep5]

[@Floridafisherman5000]

You mean she's not already??? WTF??

[@curlywurly70]

​​@dfasht1304 Carol King is the RRHOF. Carol Kaye is not.

[@EbonyPope]

I wonder though why people like the Beach Boys made her record the tracks. Also many other the other musicians mentioned were themselves really good musicians and could play the basslines just fine. The other examples are surely just songs where they needed a bigger sound maybe and would multitrack for the famous wall of sound. But apart ofrom that I wonder why people like the Beach Boys hired her.

[@ericallen9415]

@@EbonyPope A couple of observations: 1) "The Wrecking Crew," as those studio musicians were known as (unofficially, yet officially), could knock out songs in a hurry, having the right feel, groove, etc., whereas the youngsters oftentimes didn't have the chops to pull the music off on just one or two takes. I recall The Byrds' Roger Guinn saying that he was the only one who was allowed to record his instrument from the group, as the rest simply were not up to snuff, while their vocals were the stars of the show -- they just needed the more-seasoned professional touch on the instruments. 2) The Wrecking Crew were all fantastic at improvisation, so (as was mentioned in the video piece) they could take bare-bones charts (music), and add their own groove to them. Hal Blaine was the famous drummer, Tommy Tedesco was one of the famous guitarists, Carol was one of the great bass players, etc. And you might have heard of another of the Wrecking Crew, who later went on to great fame as a solo artist: Glen Campbell, who couldn't read a lick of music, but had such a tremendous ear that he could make it happen with his guitar work! One final observation: It oftentimes takes me over 100 takes to get just one line right (I am a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist), where The Wrecking Crew could slash that time considerably. With home recording studios, our financial commitment is in our recording gear, and time is not as much of a factor; but in the professional recording studios, you had to pay (usually) union scale to the recording engineers, maintenance engineers, studio musicians, and for the studio time. Even in the 1980s, it was not unusual to spend $150,000 just to get an album recorded! Add to that the graphic designs of the albums, pressing to vinyl (or tape or CD), marketing, and so on, putting out a record was a major event for a large corporation! So one cost that could be cut down on was in studio time -- which The Wrecking Crew could do, and quite admirably, may I say! I'm assuming you don't know a ton about the "business" (and that's not a knock on you at all!) -- and I confess that I have never been a big recording star, nor is my studio in any kind of shape to host a Frank Sinatra or a Taylor Swift or whomever!

[@AcmeRacing]

@@EbonyPope The studio musicians were more consistent and they contributed to the songwriting. Sonny Bono wrote songs on an upright piano, but the arrangements came from the studio. Ditto for the Beach Boys. The bands could _play_ the parts, but they couldn't come up with them quickly and then play them well enough to cut the record that same day.

[@dickjohnson4268]

Carol's contributions along with 'The Crew' are nothing less than legendary. Her soft spoken bass- line on Witchita Lineman leads to the anticipation of the building of the arrangement. Hall of Fame for her and the Crew- individually.

Don't quite. I wanted to but realized that I was trying to take on tpo much. My friend Jason Damico can rip up the fret board. Practice everyday even if it's for 15 minutes

[@Hartflame]

Thank you for the advice. I try to practice at least an hour a day. I can play Margaritaville and Mr. tambourine Man pretty well. It’s that damn C chord that is giving me trouble. At first I couldn’t make it sound right at all but with practice if I go slow and put my fingers correctly on the frets it sounds good. but my problem is I can’t switch from the other cords to the C quick enough. I guess that comes with practice. But I’m not giving up because it’s something I’ve always wanted to do my whole life. No excuses.

Carol Kaye came up with the bass intro to Witchita Lineman in the studio. Glen Campbell said, “that’s it” and we’ve all heard it countless times. She and the other “Wrecking Crew” musicians are music legends.

Carol, I listened to your playing with so many well known singers and bands never knowing the truth of the music. Thank you so much for the beautiful additions to so many of generational soundtracks...

[@Five0Music]

The reporter had it right the first time when she said "magicians." Carol Kaye as a part of the "Wrecking Crew" were to the West Coast what The Funk Brothers were to Motown (Kaye also played at Motown)... they were what made those incredible hits. Not that the vocal you heard didn't matter, but they put it in its best light. You might not know her name, but someone my age literally grew up listening to her playing. As a guitarist, I was familiar with her (more as a bassist), but it is hard to grasp the scope of what she actually did. All the more incredible as a woman during the 50s and 60s. She did it the right way, by just being better at what she did than others, male or female. Hats off to her, and the rest of the musicians who still serve the song instead of just their ego. True musician.

[@iLEE]

You beat me to it! I was gonna say the same thing. Magic!

[@Five0Music]

"The note doesn't say it's male or female. The note is either good or bad, see? You don't think that way (about what sex the musician is)." and "We didn't think me, me, me. We thought us, us us... if more musicians thought that way, we would have a damn good business." These are the sorts of statements a real, pure musician and artist lives by. It's why she is who she is, and the overwhelming majority of "stars" since then are long forgotten. I've had the honor of conversing with her over emails, and she is as real as she seems. A treasure, really.

[@berachtdorian6191]

Doug K Actually, she's wrong, it does, and not for better or for worse, but simply to make a different sound. For starters, women are not, on average, as strong as men, so they don't typically get the same volume that men do. Their hands are, on average, smaller, which has an effect (often positive) on their mechanics. The average woman also has better hearing than the average man, which means that they can produce more frequencies than men can, which means that they can produce a richer sound than men can. Women also have much better auditory processing than men, so that also gives them an advantage. There are many great female musicians, but arguing that they aren't any different from male musicians is errant. They are women and bring the unique musical skills that women have to being musicians, just like a female singer is a female singer and a male singer is a male singer. The whole being, not just the voice, is a different instrument.
