Phil Spector

Dead of Covid.
Certified genuine nutter, but a very talented man

And it turns out a bit of a murderous **** :)

Yeah.

 

[abu13]

Yeah.

But other than that he seemed a sound bloke.

An absolute crackpot but musically he was top class. I'm sure he was a thoroughly unpleasant individual but his musical influence was huge, no question about it.

I love the "wall of sound" sound and it had a huge impact on the music of the 60s. Just compare the sound of "You've lost that loving feelin" or "Be my baby" to other songs of the era. The Spector ones sound so rich and deep.

The wall of sound massively influenced Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and inspired him to create Pet Sounds, one of the greatest albums of the 60s and beyond. Of course, Pet Sounds was an inspiration for Sgt Pepper. That's some legacy in itself.

Also, can you imagine the soundtrack to Christmas without his Christmas album? So many classic songs from that album which are played every year and, for me anyway, I never tire of hearing.

Sad passing of a man who changed music.

I am sure the relatives of the girl he murdered and the 2nd wife and son he beat up agree with you

In my top 20 players. Terry Phelan not the Righteous Brothers or Phil Spector

I wouldn't have thought so, or were you being sarcastic?

To be fair, Fred West was a decent builder so I’m not sure why the Beeb are getting so much stick.

I've just seen "RIP Phil Spector" , on another site.

Takes all sorts, I suppose

Musical genius.

Rawk?

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Rawk?

They do have a habit of killing people, though

Was he?
I heard they found a belly in one of his walls.....and some arms, legs and a head

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Shouldn't he be at the bingo?

 

[mat]

Rawk?

Wouldn't surprise if he was one of their own with his issues.

Love the Wall of Sound. Hate Phil Spector.

A nice bit of trivia for you all. The last record Phil Spector produced was by...

Chorley's Starsailor.

Interesting.
Saw them supporting the Police at the Arena about 13 years ago.
I'll remember him best for producing the Ramones 5th album
