Wichita Lineman (Remastered 2001)

You've Made Me So Very Happy (Single Version)

You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'

River Deep - Mountain High

RITCHIE VALENS-LA BAMBA (Guitar)

Summertime (Guitar)

Brian Wilson & Carol Kaye : Good Vibrations

Good Vibrations - Beach Boys (Isolated Tracks)` The bass is the first isolated track. I think several bass players played on this, and Kaye may have played bass and guitar on a separate track.

Carol Kaye SLAYS Funky Bass for Quincy Jones (MUST WATCH)

Carol Kaye teaches Gene Simmons

Carol Kaye Trio -- Greens And Hamhocks

Joe Pass & Carol Kaye - Better Days (1995)


I think people misunderstand. Carol Kaye was a jazz guitarist. She was playing professionally in jazz clubs as a teenager. She later took jobs as session guitarist in rock/pop to make a living. As a jazz guitarist it was just too boring to play rock/pop guitar, so she switched to base for her sanity. She made more money than she could in jazz, but she never made a lot of money. Session musicians just get paid a little for the session. It doesn't matter how many hot you play, you don't make more money.

I learned about her from the documentary about “The Wrecking Crew” (which I later heard she did not like.). She was an amazing player.

It was a great little movie.

One of the most memorable bass lines ever on the intro to “Wichita Lineman,” a song that even Bob Dylan called one of the greatest ever written.
