Before Andrew Gold had some hits of his own, he played a big role behind the scenes in the 70s music scene.

Frank Zappa's surprise hit, "Valley Girl" overshadowed the other inventive tracks on his 80s album, "Ship Too Late to Save A Drowning Witch."

There are a handful of songs that can be credited for moving the needle on rock music. The 1951 single, "Rocket 88," is one of 'em as Kit O'Toole explains.

As a member of The Turtles, Chip Douglas helped shape their biggest hit. Then he did the same for The Monkees.

At 12, he was a session player. At 21, he got an offer to join the Stones -- which he turned down. Shuggie Otis is one unusual guitarist.
