One pop music's most prolific drummers has died at age 90. He was part of LA session musicians elite known as "The Wrecking Crew" He played on tracks by Sinatra, Elvis, Beach Boys, The Carpenters and so many more. My favorite track that he played on was "Be My Baby" by the Ronnettes. He was reported to have performed at his 90th birthday party at the LA jazz club The Baked Potato.

RIP,Hal ...

Shame, enjoyed him on the Wrecking Crew Documentary and his recordings.

Here's just of a few of his many hits that Hal Blaiane drummed on. Not a song on this montage that anyone over 50 wouldn't recognize. He was credited with playing on over 35,000 tracks!
