I took a lesson from Carol Kaye, in the late 1970’s. At the time, she told me that she was preparing to to sue Fender. Carol contended that the design of the Precision Bass caused her to have permanent back problems. Notice that she used smaller instruments, in her later years. If she proceeded with her litigation, I greatly doubt Fender would honor her with a signature model.

Not sure what you mean by "horrible narration". I would call it a success story. She became a celebrity not only for musicians, but for anybody interested in music rather than in the personality of the glam stars in the front. Carol has received awards and - more important - became a role model for talented, diligent, but also humble artists. I think her story will survive that of many starlets and show performers. So will the story of all those other people staying in the background that brought rock'n roll to live with her in the 1960s, 1970s and beyond.

I understand and agree...too much repetition all the way. Saying the same thing in different ways. Terrible. Surely there are examples, clips of her bass lines for example.

This sounds like artificial "intelligence" narrative. Many statements are repeated and should get an award from the Department of Redundancy Department. Most stories about the birth of Rock and Roll mention its roots in blues, country and gospel. The "Motown sound" which will remain timeless was the product of bringing session musicians from the local jazz clubs. Carol and others provided that in Los Angeles. Those of us who love Rock music owe a substantial debt to great jazz musicians like Carol who transformed simple tunes into 20th century classics. Thank you Carol.

Imagine also the talent of Glen Campbell, who was a remarkable guitar player, even though he couldn't read music like Carol Kaye. The only reason his guitar talents are known is because he became a pop country vocal superstar. The only other country guitar talents overlapping his era were Chet Atkins and Alvin Lee. If not for Campbell's singing ability, he would have remained an unsung session artist like kaye.

Carol Kaye was a great player and teacher. Unfortunately she made claims that she played on recordings previously attributed to James Jamerson. Some of those claims proved true, but some of them were pretty embarrassing and I guess the matter has diisappeared from sight. Carol took a pretty hard hit to the head in a 1976 car accident that may believed affected her memory.
