Not a fan of his production work on the “Let It Be” album and some of the Beatles solo albums. His sound worked well for the Ronettes, though. As a human being, he was terrible of course.

Did a great job on the Ramones album.

Paul McCartney was incensed at the overdubs Spector had done to “The Long and Winding Road.” Paul later cited this as one of the reasons he left the Beatles.

"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.

"Let It Be" album was later de-Spectored into "Let It Be Naked"...and MUCH MUCH better. "The Long & Winding Road" is truly exceptional without the Spector over produced garbage.
