Carol Kaye: The Soundtrack Of The 60s And Beyond

By Eric P. Lewis

Carol Kaye: The Soundtrack of the 60s and Beyond is the untold story of one of the most influential musicians in modern history. For decades, Carol Kaye's bass lines powered the songs, films, and television shows that defined a generation-yet her name remained in the shadows while others took the spotlight.
From her early days as a jazz guitarist in Los Angeles clubs to becoming the only woman in the legendary Wrecking Crew, Carol carved a path through an industry that often underestimated her. With unmatched skill and quiet determination, she played on over 10,000 recordings, shaping hits for The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Sonny & Cher, and countless others. Her work became the invisible architecture of pop culture, from The Beat Goes On to Pet Sounds, from the Mission: Impossible theme to The Brady Bunch.
But this book is more than a catalog of her achievements-it is a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the courage to defy expectations. Through vivid storytelling, Carol Kaye: The Soundtrack of the 60s and Beyond explores how a woman with a guitar and a dream broke barriers, redefined what was possible, and left an indelible mark on music history.
For fans of music history, women's empowerment, and anyone who has ever tapped their foot to a classic tune, this is the story of the legend you've heard a thousand times-even if you never knew her name.
