On Netflix right now is a documentary titled, The Wrecking Crew - it's about all these L.A. musicians who played on many hit records in the 1960s.
They discuss Phil Spector and his Wall Of Sound.
They have a lot of good interview footage with bass player Carol Kaye.
Cher is interviewed in this film, as well.
...And others - all kinds of musicians.
Dick Clark.
They discuss the music business center of action kind of changing location - evolving, from New York to Los Angeles.
That part made me think of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, who left a band called Fritz in the San Francisco area and went to L.A. to try to make it as a duo: Buckingham Nicks.
Their producer was from Minnesota. Stevie cleaned his house right at first, to make money because they weren't making money with their music yet.
The producer said she would show up at his door with her equipment and products, dressed for grubby work, and she would say, "All right, I'm gonna clean it."
