To me Phil Spector was one of the greatest song producers of all time..
Sure, I thought of him as somewhat of a “loose cannon” especially when he was on trial this year for the shooting death of. his friend (forgot her name) Don’t even know if he was found guilty or not.
Never the less, to me he was one of the greatest music producers ever. A true genius.
Phil Spector utilized the studio like no producer before him. In exploring its possibilities, he constructed a musical monolith known as the “Wall of Sound.” and oh what a sound!
Several of the many timeless Spector-produced hits that stand as a testament to his genius include “Da Doo Ron Ron” and “He’s a Rebel” and “Then He Kissed Me” (by the Crystals); “Be My Baby,” “Baby, I Love You” and “Walking in the Rain” (by the Ronettes); “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” “Unchained Melody” and “Ebb Tide” (by the Righteous Brothers); and “River Deep - Mountain High” (by Ike and Tina Turner).
Do you remember? Remember that so-called “Wall of Sound?”
I’m betting you don’t. Probably too many years ago. Oh gosh!.. I must be old!
