Phil Spector: The Legacy (Fund-Raising version)
Mad man, genius, irrational, wildly creative, cruel, respected, loved, despised: The art of Phil Spector is beyond legend.
The first “teen tycoon” died of the COVID-19 virus on January 16, 2021. His mark and influence in rock, pop and soul is immeasurable. His years as a record producer at his own label, Philles Records, is almost mythical. But it’s not a myth. For much of the 1960’s he created dozens of the best singles of all time. Using young artists, mostly black, his sound was unmistakable.
The artists are legends because of him. The Crystals, Darlene Love, The Ronettes, and The Righteous Brothers head his list of accomplishments that include several more. His work with Tina and Ike Turner, The Beatles, and singularly with John Lennon and George Harrison is known to record-nerds but not to most of the record buying public.
On this edition of American Jukebox® we separate Phil Spector the person, from Phil Spector the artist. We span more than a decade to get a full taste of his artistic mastery and how his genius makes us smile and move to this day.
