Great news. Carol finally being recognized for her amazing studio career playing bass for what seemed like every big hit and every superstar artist of the 1960's. Well done Carol! At 90 I'm so happy you get to celebrate!

Nice to hear.  I know she's on a ton of Beach Boys records, and WAY too many others to name.  Her discography would probably be too long to even post here.

This list will completely blow your mind.  After the songs and albums, then you get to the soundtracks.  Then after that, the TV shows.  Buffalo Springfield, Expecting To Fly??  Really?  This list is mind-boggling.  If anyone ever deserved to be in the HOF...........

Oh, I almost forgot:  This is a PARTIAL list.........

Wonderful news. Carol is a wonderful bass player and studio musician with so many credits it's staggering. 

She is the Hal Blaine of bass players. Blaine passed away a few years ago. A drummer who plays on so many hits we've all heard hundreds of times!!

She was a part of the "Wrecking Crew" but hated the name. Several of its members have been inducted individually. Hal Blaine, Earl Palmer, and Carol Kaye have all been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Carol Kaye was inducted in the Musical Excellence category. She deserves this honor.
