7:35 Carol Kaye: Queen of the bass
Rock legend Suzi Quatro introduces us to a hero of hers, Carol Kaye. Carol began her studio career in Los Angeles in 1957, playing guitar on some of Sam Cooke's soul records. At 23, she was already a top guitar player, having toured with big bands and played jazz clubs since she was a teenager. She soon became one of the most in-demand studio musicians in LA, switching to her trademark Fender bass in 1963.

Now 87, Carol is full of stories from her extraordinary career.....it's estimated she has played on over 10,000 recording dates. But Carol was not interested in fame or credits. She was a single mom of three who had to provide for a household of six.
