I saw Glen Campbell on the Johnny Carson show one night in the 70s. It remains, to me, to be the best, rock, guitar, improvisational solo I have ever heard. Now I am thinking that it may be on You Tube! ;-)

Leon Russell had a pretty good career outside the Wrecking Crew.

Glen Campbell, as a member of the Wrecking Crew, played on most of the Beach Boy hits.
