In addition, he also produced some remarkable records by John Lennon, George Harrison, Cher (" A Woman's Story", find it, it's here on tube, beautiful), Ramones, Leonard Cohen (underrated), Dion (beautiful work).

Fantastic! I was one of millions who remember the "Be My Baby" days and what they meant, growing up. Spector had Scorsese over a barrel, and I really don't understand why he and his legal counsel didn't commit the latter to compensate him with some guarantee of monetary compensation.

Completely overrated and definitely a legend in his own mind. Throw sounds at the wall of sound and see what sticks.
