Phil Spector Profile (LA Times/Calendar)

[szqsk8]

He did a lot at a young age but he went totally South in his later years. He seems to be someone who is very hard to deal with because he's always angry or controlling or a little of both.

[anothercountyheard]

a VERY important musician/producer. Brian Wilson's inspiration.

[gerard6060]

en son temps , un génie de l'enregistrement musical.

[Berialavrenti]

he looks like michael nesmith from the monkees!

[myboylollipop09]

Murderer he may be, however being a kid growing up in the early-mid sixties I always liked his great Wall of Sound recordings. And it was true when you heard them on a transister radio the songs really seemed to jump out at you.

[deep71483]

Talented man, most people wish they could accomplish an iota of what he did at 23!

[RonaldVaughan]

Thanks for this tribute.

Another writer who did rare interviews

with PHIL SPECTOR was the L.A. Times'

own ROBERT HILBURN (around 1977

and about 1997).

[kentcrawf]

no more limo rides for phil ..just the jail bus that drives him to prison FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE!!!!!

[TL250Rider]

Gene Pitney was before the Crystals

He was great but had a temper.

Thre things you don't do

Give Guns to Phil Spector

Give Kids Gas and Matcxhes.

DON'T PLAY 70'S DISCO ON KRTH.

[beyondalohas]

PHILS work means NOTHING. HE SCREWED THOSE GIRLS OUT OF ROYALTIES, ITS A FACT. ask Ronnie how she feels about other things he did!! HE MADE A MESS OF HIS KIDS LIFE TOO, ASK THEM!! JEFF/ LA TIMES, YOUR A CLEAR IDIOT. your writing means nothing as well. theres NO history worth what your saying!! WAS THAT THE SAME GUN HE SHOT THAT POOR WOMEN?? F-U Jeff

Its encournging to see there are a few with open eyes. People are people. If you live long enough you'll run to a few stars at some level. These people are just as stupid, smart or idiots as others in power like Clinton getting caught in the white house. Monica was a lieing whore according to Bill , until they came up with a blue dress. Pot, oh yes I've done it but , I didn't inhale either ,if you believe that, I've got a bridge overlooking the ocean in the desert I want to sell ya.

[ladybriteyes]

@onstageagain whatever you're on, I want some! you make absolutely NO SENSE, Yes, people are people. What does running into (i think thats what you meant) stars have to do with Bill Clinton? I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing, I am just confused.

[onstageagain]

@onstageagain I just don't get it ! These people need a map...Your cute remark doesn't rate any gold stars with me.

Think about it long enough , something will flash.

I was sending a comment to some one else ... so with out telling you her side, I can't Explaine mine, & space doesn't allow it. I'll leave with the absolute ...There is no sweeter sound than the crumbling of one's fellow man.

[onstageagain]

Im sick of people making excuses for celebrities, sob stories about how a celebrity did the best they could faced with pressures of stardom. I don't care. In this country if you commit the crime you do the time.

Celebrities do not need private jail cells, Egyptian cotton sheets. The situation is meant to be uncomfortable , it's jail,its a punishment, not a vacation or a new chance to be featured in the upcoming issue of People magazine

[beyondalohas]

you hit the nail on the head. your a clear thinker and think for yourself. your telling the truth bout our laws!! I salute you!! MAYBE PHIL WILL BE KISSING OJ SIMPSON!!

[zoniggboum]

on the picture at 0:35 he looks exactly like the pusher in that cocaine-deal scene at the beginning of Easy Rider!!! coincidence?!? or did he have a guest appearence? .-D

[thedoctorofstyle79]

He WAS the pusher in Easy Rider.

[onstageagain]

08 spector trial is on, The approach his lawyer says is the only way to combat what defense considers most damning evidence against Spector,is the testimoney of 5 women he dated over last 25 yrs, none knowing the other,say he terrorized them with guns under similar circustances.Not brought into testimoney at the trial but at the pretrial, people he worked with in studio,say He would pull a gun on them while drunk if they wanted to leave the recording studio and he didn't. He killed her

[n136ha]

he might have, but I think at the very worst his pinishment should be to produce an album for Vanilla Ice or something

[gameraxxx]

Check out Phil Spector's newest production on youtube.Search  Phil Spector, Magic Hair. Amazing.

[veryboredchild]

At :18, you can see Spector with Tina Turner. He produced the best song ever, River Deep Mountain High...way back in 1966!!!

[NODISCOonkrth]

Sorry the first song was from the Ramons. Great Song Recorded at Gold Star. The Album "The End of the Century"

[NODISCOonkrth]

Be My Baby

Phil We Need you now

Pop Music is not good Now

[mackan127]

[hellobeatle]

[mackan127]

[28mark]

[orvgg]

Lame. I can't believe they used a version of "He's a Rebel" that was NOT produced by Spector.
