I liked his work. He turned into a murdering psycho though, which somewhat changes my feelings...

I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron-ron-ron, Da doo ron-ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron-ron-ron, Da doo ron-ron

Wow, dead from Covid. So what did he really die from? Cancer? I know he was a massive junkie after the 1960s and a lot of those addicts eventually die of liver problems when they get old.

Like they said:

He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel 'cause he never ever does what he should

Words to live by.

She wouldn’t kiss his gun, so he made her kiss his gun.

Spector was a monster.

Why I stopped drinking. I tended to turn into a -hole violent drunk. Have not had a drink since 1985

"His sound worked well for the Ronettes, though."

Plus the Crystals, Righteous Brothers, Ike & Tina Turner, Teddy Bears, Connie Francis, and more. A lot of folks don't know he wrote or co-wrote some of the biggest hits of the artists he produced.

Undoubtedly, his biggest longest playing hit was "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" by the Righteous Brothers. He co-wrote it and you can hear the Wall of Sound. BMI says it got the most US air play in the 20th century.

I won't read his life story, but I do wonder if he was such flake and evil person in his early days? How can someone with such enormous creative talent wind up in his situation? Yes, I know many artists are the edge.

Go to following url for a list of his albums and singles.

I’m not a Beatles fan.....I know, my husband is appalled ; )
but “The Long and Winding Road”is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

What is this

Defensive Jews on Free Republic weekend ?

I saw the same thing on the Rothschild died thread yesterday....

A Jewish freeper just leaps in blasting anti semitism before anyone said a peep

Check the thread if you’re curious.....yours truly defended the Rothschild family as over maligned

I do not think Spector practiced Judaism much...just a hunch

He was a nut....but he did bang Ronnie as did Keith Richards and Ronnie was pretty cute

So there is that

Like John Riggins said to Sandy OConner....loosen up baby

Have a good Sunday

This forum is pretty soft on the tribe

You should try being my tribe

White unapologetic southerner

There is a canal here....which includes some of your peeps btw..who are here only to demonize my DNA

it’s no secret who they are to anyone been here a while

Many were nevertrumper too

Just saying

Somebody calls for annihilating Jews here leftist or not

I’m on your side....I want that clarified

Phil Specter ....it doesn’t look good honestly ...his celestial futures play is low rated

I love the Phil Spector-produced "Long and Winding Road" too, but as it was originally envisioned, it had a simplicity that was also beautiful. Here is the song as Paul McCartney envisioned it as it appears on the "Let It Be...Naked" album:

The Long And Winding Road (Naked Version / Remastered 2013)

Phil produced The Ronettes, who I was in love with at the age of 13. They managed to be sexy without wearing skimpy outfits, twerking, or simulating sex on stage.

"Ronnie Spector outlived him at 77."

I had tickets for a Ronnie Spector show in 2019, but she cancelled. Don't know why.

He lost...that breathing fee-eeling...
Now it’s gone, gone, gone
And he can’t go on...whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh.
