With her distinctive electric bass lines, she contributed to over 10,000 recordings, including iconic tracks such as 'Good Vibrations' and 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin'.' Kaye played a vital role in shaping the 'wall of sound' technique developed by producer Phil Spector and has received accolades from renowned musicians like Paul McCartney and Quincy Jones.
