While I never watch CNN unless I'm forced to in an airport, they'll be getting 1:48 of my viewership tonight. They purchased the rights to the film back in February, and are presenting it w/ limited commercials tonight @ 9PM. Set your DVR's, because the film won't be available on DVD until this fall.

You know it was his guitar on a lot of old Monkees tunes. Studio musician before he hit the big time.

Glen played guitar on countless songs for Elvis, Sinatra, and many others. It’s HIS guitar you hear on Pet Sounds as well.

Next thing you'll say The Monkees didn't play any instruments on their albums.

Glen was a part of Hal Blaine’s “Wrecking Crew” that played on thousands of tracks including most, if not all, of the Beach Boys’ hits.

Fun fact...

Glen’s “Wichita Lineman” solo was played on the Wrecking Crew’s Carol Kaye’s 6-string bass that he borrowed.

Leon Russell also played piano on early Dean Martin and Sinatra records.

Or even do most of the singing. Eventually the Monkees did both, after some arguing with NBC execs and Don Kirshner. But even on Valleri (1968) the only Monkees singing is Davy Jones. The chorus is all studio.

Yup. And Phil Spector made good use of them, too.

Hal Blaine played drums and Leon Russel played piano on the Byrds’ Mr Tambourine Man

The Wrecking Crew was everywhere...and deserved their star on Hollywood Blvd - where, in late 60’s thru early 70s, my wife and I walked and watched the “show” as a couple of 19 y/o kids from Ohio.

The Playboys never played on any GLATP recordings. It was really “Gary Lewis and The Studio Musicians.” Even Gary Lewis’ voice was enhanced by another singer.
