Because it is now or never there is a wealth of fabulous music documentaries out there, “The Girls In The Band,” “Six Feet From Stardom” and “The Agony & Ecstasy of Phil Spector,” all of which we saw on the big screen at the Little Theater. Last night’s screening of “The Wrecking Crew” may be the best of them all. 99 minutes long with 100 hit songs, all played by the amazing Wrecking Crew.
Denny Tedesco is making the movie and talked about his film after the screening. Denny is Tommy Tedesco’s son and he started the movie while his father, the guitar player on thousands of songs from the sixties, was dying of lung cancer. He told us he had recently interviewed Leon Russell and would have him in the next cut. He reunited his father, a Buffalo native, with the great Carol Kaye and Hal Blaine and they talked about creating parts for the soundtrack of our lives. Great interviews with Cher and Glen Campbell. Brian Wilson deservedly gets more movie space than anyone else and local resident, Gary Lewis joined the discussion in person.
