Brian wilson was the one that came up with the bass line

Yes! That masterpiece lifts the listener into the stratosphere and Carols bass lights the rockets!

@@Gab-espartac Why didn't HE play it then?

@@jimmybonar2566 because he wasn't a instrumentalist, writing music and being skilled at playing an instrument are 2 diferent things

The entire Wrecking Crew were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, Drummers Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer were inducted as "Sidemen" to the R&RHOF in 2000. But she needs to be inducted by herself for her contributions to the genre and her work.

She should be a billionaire on royalties

Or maybe we could say that she was so of her time that she owned it

I thought she already was ;)

Julia the Am-Bass-ador

Just listened for the first time and am already a fan. Plus she handles the instrument as if it's an extension of herself.

You would love her even if she couldn't play any instrument at all. Bass guitar has nothing to do with it...

That is astounding, it's an iconic gritty sound.

Ah, she played rhythm guitar.

Crikey! I never knew that!

She started her career out playing guitar in the 50's with some of the biggest names in Jazz at the time. Then she eventually started playing the bass.

Agreed.

Yeah, it's one of those lines that just makes your heart hurt as soon as you hear it. Unbelievable originality and classic sound, Carol Kaye!

Yeah she's rock solid 👍

I don't think anyone can beat KZfaqr Charles Berthoud. He's the EVH of the bass.

@@GeorgeSmiley77 Charles is a force of nature. On another level totally, but that doesn't detract from the fact that Julia is solid, understands time (and gets it right) and most of all is a total babe (MUCH hotter than Charles!)

Oh god calm down

Very solid

Me too. I was speechless

Well she should have made an appointment before she walks in there with a whole camera crew

I felt the same way..... No respect.

@@alexanderdamm1525 would you tell Michael Stipe to stop if he was fooling around a hotel bar piano.(actually happened)

@@kyungkim2446 if he brought in an unannounced camera crew while other people rented the space, yes I would.

In this case, she simply copied a bass line already written by Joe McSweyn of the Evergreen Blues.

She did listen to the drummers but she also listened to the singer for several songs, one of which being America the Beautiful by Ray Charles. The recording of Games People Play by Mel Torme that became a hit came from Carol just playing a bunch of notes to wake up the drummer

@@abiC1213 That's right Abigail, she thought it was boring to follow the kick drum and played her own unique bass lines to energize the drummer.

Always in the pocket. ALWAYS!

I think you're right, but it's a different Julia. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gaiHmpyH3ZbXhX0.html

@@flyingfishsurf Maybe we should also consider Tal Wilkenfeld as a great bass player. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKlgZdp4z5vLgKs.html

Julia is Great, no question about it. Effective, understated, a lot more Go than Show. But the 21'st century Carol Kaye? If Meshell Ndegeocello would do more session work I believe she'd be it.

Go watch - The Wrecking Crew

Watch Carol Kaye : Rock's most prolific session musician

@@honesty_-no9he Why would you say something so very dumb and wrong? Habit?

@@richsackett3423 bless your heart.

@@lindacarlton3154 She did not play on “These Boots Are Made For Walking”. She was simply not at the “Good Vibrations” sessions, so obviously didn't play on the track. Ray Pohlman played that session, not Carol as she claims. Every time I read another article claiming a dozen and a half songs she played on, always two or three are false. You've been scammed by a "kindly old lady". Bet she can't document being on more than 200 albums or more than 1,000 sessions total. 10,000 is a crazy exaggeration, only believable by beguiled fanboys who cannot do math. She didn't start this con to sell books (notice the name of her site - it ain't about the music, folks) until after Ray died in the 90s. Stolen valor of the most hideous sort. She is a liar and a thief.

Then you you'd really be impressed with the much most substantial discography of Tony Levin or Lee Sklar.

@@richsackett3423 Why the need to compare? She is a legendary musician in her own right.

@@angeliquebaartdelafaille833 That legend is a lie. She's a fraud. Name three songs you think she played on and at least one of them she actually didn't.

Pretty sure Joe Osborn was the bass player on those tracks.

I checked, Carol Kaye did play on both of those recordings.

@@bigwally8602 thanks Big Wally!

Joe was great with the 5th Dimension !

Yes, and Carole hated it

The Bass playing Carole in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was a lefty.

@@asingardenof Did she really? I guess you could see why.

Carol described the portrayal as slanderous.

@@SignatureStampsFan Did she? Wow, that's a shame they dissed Carol too.

Did she also play bass on Temptation Eyes ?

Not like she wrote it. She was a studio musician. It was a full arrangement with brass and everything. She just read the notes off the page.

I’m heartbroken! Rob Grill didn’t really play bass?

@@richsackett3423 I mean it's one thing to write something. Playing it still involves a lot of skill, nuance, and creativity.

@@ZiddersRooFurry Yes.

Same here..... never get tired of it! She is so f**king awesome 😎 I wonder if Rob Grill ever played it like that. RIP Rob.....

Originally done by Joe McSweyn of the Evergreen Blues.

Why would u not be honest

You are not wrong sir, the entire track is a work of art in my mind.

Played by Ray Pohlman. He was pretty awesome and actually played on more albums than Carol.

I think the official credit went to bassist Lyle Ritz on Good Vibrations. But it is also attributed to Carol who apparently did a lot of takes for the tune.

THANKS MAN!

IMHO if you wanted that style you could have got Chuck Rainey and eliminated the annoying pick attack.

Pet Sounds was not issued in stereo until 1997! It wouldn't have been possible to make a good stereo mix in the 60s because of the way it was recorded and Wilson liked the control of mono more anyway. The stereo version from the 60s is just the mono version on one channel and the same with a slight delay on the other channel to make it more "roomy"

What happened to his other ear?

@@tuxjunkie loss of hearing due to beating from his father

@@DieFischbude edited to just mixed.

Too bad she didn't play on that record.

Nope Sloop wasn't

Absolutely not true.

Not even close. Do you play?

She is far from underrated. Most bass players know and respect her work.

She didn’t play on two of those records. Guess which ones. And dude, she’s like 86 now. Gross.

The bass part was written by Brian and other session musician played on the final cut it wasn't Carol

@@jokkergar wow, I didn’t know that, you must be a superfan!

Played by Chuck Berghofer.

I thought Joe Osborne played on that song

Why would taping a piece of felt to a bass guitar give it a ‘darker tone’?😂

@@jasonwilson2763 The Crux of the Bisquit is the apostrophe™

@@CharWorld-bm6di She didn’t play bass on the single release of Good Vibrations.

The six-note orchestral fill in the middle of each verse was originally a Carol Kaye bass lick, too. (How many other hit songs contain bass improvisations of hers that are wrongly assumed to be the arranger's own idea, I wonder?)

Wichita Lineman was a bit special for Carol because Glen Campbell was a member of the Wrecking Crew. Campbell was one of the great session guitarists

And there she is AGAIN on a classic 😮
