R.I.P. Hal Blaine for giving vibrations its awesome verve!
Drummer Hal Blaine, who propelled dozens of major hit records during the ‘60s and ‘70s as a member of the “Wrecking Crew,” Hollywood’s elite, ubiquitous cadre of first-call studio musicians, died Monday, according to a statement from family members on his official Facebook page. He was 90. - https://variety.com

Re: Hal Blaine: I have the 4 CDs "We Were Good At It" by The Wrecking Crew - Anthology 1962-1971 if there's interest.
Počivaj v miru mojster.
Pogrešali te bomo.
"Hal Blaine's Greatest Hits:" Every beat he played.
such a CLASS act... he was the man... RIP Hal, your legacy is forever...
Maybe the most "heard" musician of all-time. He is the opening drum beat of "Wouldn't It Be Nice", as well as the backbone of too many indisputable classics to list, but here are but a few, anyway--
California Dreaming
Mr. Tambourine Man (Byrds)
MacArthur Park
Midnight Confessions
The Way We Were
Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In
Da Doo Ron Ron
Everybody Loves Somebody
Strangers in the Night
Wichita Lineman
I Got You Babe
Love Will Keep Us Together
These Boots Are Made For Walkin'
and so many more including one featured in one of the best scenes of "The Big Lebowski"--
Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" by Kenny Rogers & the First Edition.
@seanav - Would love the Wrecking Crew anthology!

No idea he'd passed...one of the all-time greats...and while I've already got it, that Wrecking Crew compilation is superlative...no idea where they got them (though it was Tommy Tedesco's son project for the most part, to finish financing the documentary) but there are a few true stereo versions I don't think were ever heard before (especially on the first disc)...RIP Hal, and thank you
Fare thee well!
