PHIL SPECTOR
ecord producer, musician, songwriter, Mr ‘Wall Of Sound’, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee; eccentric, visionary, genius; oddball, convicted murderer. “A vicious little gun abuser with a Napoleon complex who has abused people for forty years,” according to his murdered victim’s best friend. But, his criminal side notwithstanding, if all Phil Spector had ever done was to co-write and produce The Ronettes’ and the, two hits that helped soundtrack the 60s and define an era, his chapter in the history of 20th-century popular music would have been assured and deserved. But he did rather more than that.
