In this exclusive clip from the feature documentary "The Wrecking Crew: The Untold Story of Rock & Roll Heroes," American singer, songwriter and record producer Jerry Fuller tells the story of how he wrote "Travelin' Man" for Sam Cooke, recorded it with Glen Campbell, and how the demo went in the garbage before finding its way to Ricky Nelson.

In 1960s Los Angeles, California, an elite group of studio session musicians came together and played on hits for the Beach Boys, Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley, Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound," Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Sonny and Cher, Jan & Dean, the Monkees, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, 5th Dimension, Tijuana Brass and Johnny Rivers among others. From "Be My Baby" to "California Girls;" "Strangers in the Night" and "Mrs. Robinson;" "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" and "Up, Up and Away;""Viva Las Vegas" to "Mr. Tambourine Man," the group dubbed "The Wrecking Crew" played on some of rock and roll's most-beloved songs. "The musicians really are the unsung heroes of all these hit records," noted Nancy Sinatra.
