You may not instantly know the name Carol Kaye. But you've almost certainly heard her work. She's a bass guitarist who was a member of the Wrecking Crew, the back-up musicians who have played on literally hundreds and hundreds of classic hits. 

Among them:

-Wichita Lineman
-You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
-These Boots Are Made For Walkin'
-The Beat Goes On
-Then He Kissed Me
-Sloop John B
-Rhythm Of The Rain
-River Deep, Mountain High
-Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head
-Midnight Confessions
-I Am A Rock
-Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves and
-California Girls

And that's just a very short list.

With that kind of resume, it's no surprise that Kaye has been voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, an honour that's long overdue. Except she won't be there and has no intention of accepting the nomination. Her explanation for why is as remarkable as her resume.
