The Castells were a short-lived group on the charts, yet they were Adult Contemporary music fan favourites. From Santa Rosa, California, they were Bob Ussery, Tom Hicks, Joe Kelly and Chuck Girard. They formed a group around 1959 while attending Santa Rosa High School. After auditioning for several labels, they signed with Era Records and went into the studio to record. And what amazing and talented musicians they had on their records. Billy Strange (guitar), Barney Kessel (guitar), Ray Pohlman (bass & arranger of one of the group's sessions), Frankie Capp, Plas Johnson (saxophone), Glen Campbell (guitar), and Hal Blaine (drums) all played on their records.And these guys were later called The Wrecking Crew!
