Amazing - and yet sad that she (and others like her) never got the true credit they deserved.

It reminds me of how so few know of the Funk Brothers, yet they have had more number 1 hits than more number-one hits than The Beatles, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, and The Beach Boys combined.

For those that are unfamiliar with them:

Just checked: In the list of albums she's on, one of them is Freak Out!, Frank Zappa's debut album with the Mothers Of Invention. Carol Kaye is credited on that, under the Mothers Auxillary header. She played 12-string guitar on the album, not bass.
