Nice article about one of my #BassGuitar heroes, Carol Kaye. Recommend the documentary #WreckingCrew about #studio #musicians of that era, also.

"Half-Breed" is a popular song recorded by Cher in 1973. Cher's version, recorded with instrumental backing by L.A. sessions musicians from the #WreckingCrew, was recorded on May 21, 1973 at #LarrabeeSound in Los Angeles. Lyrically, the song describes the life of a girl who faces societal rejection due to having a #white father and #Cherokee mother. It contains themes of #racism and #doubleStandards. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

This biography of the great Leon Russell is absolutely mind-blowing. While problematic (behavior we'd now describe as on the spectrum, accompanied by obvious mental health issues), he is connected to nearly every American musical figure of the '60s and '70s, and the way he insinuated himself into what became the epic Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour is fascinating. This thing is a tome, but it's very well-written and fast-paced.

If was in this moment that Thunderball knew he fucked up.

Seriously though, Thunderball is the real MVP for the #WreckingCrew in these episode. Much like the last panels on the last page, he’s constantly demolishing the police and takes Misty as a hostage.

Bulldozer really gets the worst of everything in these two issues. Both #IronFist and Misty make a fool of him. Then he gets clobbered by Thunderball in the same fight.

In the end he literally gets hit with the worst part of #Thor’s training sequence.

We forget how closed the world of work was to women of earlier generations than this. Here's The Wrecking Crew - a confederation of studio musicians, the most recorded group of people in history
