Through the 1960s, a collection of Los Angeles musicians worked together in order to support acts like The Beach Boys and Frank Sinatra. This group was called The Wrecking Crew, and they created some of the greatest and most influential songs, without receiving any of the credit for it. Beach Boys co-founder, Bryan Wilson, described how they were the most important part of that period in music. A documentary 12 years in the making, sheds some light on some of the unsung heroes of the musical industry in the 1960s.
'The Wrecking Crew', directed by Denny Tedesco, went into production back in June 1996, and was finally finished in February 2008. However, the film was not released at that time, as the filmmakers were unable to licence the music for the film. In 2013, the filmmakers started a Kickstarter campaign in order to raise money in order to purchase the film rights. Having raised the necessary 300 thousand USD, the creators were able to licence the music for the film. The film, 'The Wrecking Crew' is set to for a limited theatrical release across the US on 13th March 2015.
