Did you all see the movie? A pal of mine was always talking about it at work, I think he drove up to Hollywood for the screening. I’ll wait for the DVD
There was a similar film a few years ago about Motown’s studio musicians:

Glen Campbell gets a lot of ink in it.
My favorite Wrecking Crew member was Carol Kaye, the bassist. Among many many other records, she played on Love's "Forever Changes," and on the Mothers of Invention first couple of albums until she quit because she found the lyrics offensive. Frank Zappa still loved her playing, though.
I saw the Motown movie, it was pretty good, kind of an amateur production but a great story to tell. I never knew the history behind all those talented studio musicians and how they got screwed when Motown moved to LA.
They soundtrack of the movie is excellent, I play it all the time when I’m working in my shop.
