Phil Spector was nuts... but man if he isn’t the link between the 50s and 70s music.. he just revolutionized the sound of music but boy if he didn’t burn out quick..mental illness will limit you
Whenever I read music books lately he comes up.. the Leonard Cohen bio has a great description of him...the Ahmet Ertegun bio I am finishing up had an entire chapter devoted to Ahmet’s relationship with Spector
The Philles record label’s Christmas album is the sound of Christmas to me (if you think you don’t know it...well..you do)..always will be... too bad it has Phil’s spoken word message at end.. I can’t bear to listen to it knowing that he killed a woman and what an asshole he was
