In this weekend's Musical Chairs feature Billy highlights the career of The Wrecking Crew - a group of top studio musicians who were constantly in demand and contributed to hundreds of chart-topping singles for the likes of the Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher, Partridge Family, Paul Simon, Barry Maguire, Phil Spector, Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra.
