A bass player for the Wrecking Crew, Carol Kaye, was responsible (If I recall) for the bass lick on Good Vibrations. A woman in a studio band was rare in those days (she was that good).
If you want even more American music back stories, I suggest a bunch of interviews found on YouTube done by Nashville's Musician's Hall of Fame.

Two other studio bands behind the hits were MoTown’s “Funk Brothers” and the Muscle Shoal’s “Swampers”.
I think The Wrecking Crew was the most “diverse” in the sense that would work with rock groups in the morning and Sinatra in the afternoon. Glen Campbell played guitar for them until some one said “Hey! That guy can sing too!”.
There are documentaries, or parts of, on YouTube about all three groups
I’ve photographed a few local games, at field level, where I can see the action up close. It can be a darn rough game! And I appreciate the passion for it some have.
