ARTICLES RELATED TO Phil Spector - Comeback | | | |  Phil Spector - Comeback: Encyclopedia II - Phil Spector - ComebackIn 1970, Allen Klein, manager to three of the Beatles, had brought Spector to England to possibly record with the group, or produce for their label Apple Records. (Spector had actually met the Beatles on their historic first visit to the US in 1964, and each had long admired the other.)
His own labels issued covers of Hold Me Tight by The Imaginations and the Treasures (who included future Ringo Starr collaborator Vinnie Poncia), a soul version of Buck Owens' Act Naturally by Betty Willis (covered by The Beatles on Help!), and an inst ...

| | | | Phil Spector - Comeback: Encyclopedia II - Phil Spector - The Wall of Sound Spector's trademark during that era was the so-called Wall of Sound, a production technique yielding a dense, layered effect that was very effective and dramatic, and carried especially well on AM radio and jukeboxes. To attain this signature sound, Spector gathered large groups of musicians (playing some instruments not generally used for ensemble playing, such as electric and acoustic guitars) playing orchestrated parts — often using many instruments playing in unison — for a fuller sound. Dozens of musicians and instruments would be jammed into Spector's tiny Gold Star studio, with the sound ...

| | | | Phil Spector - Comeback: Encyclopedia II - Phil Spector - Alleged homicide On February 3, 2003, Spector was arrested for murder after the body of 40-year-old actress Lana Clarkson of Los Angeles was found at his mansion in Alhambra, California. Police responded to a 9-1-1 phone call from one of Spector's neighbors and discovered Clarkson, who had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. On November 20, 2003, Spector was indicted for Clarkson's murder.
Just four weeks prior to the death of Clarkson, Spector had admitted in an interview with the British Daily Telegraph that he suffers from bipolar disorder and that he considered himself "relatively insane". [1]

| | | | Phil Spector - Comeback: Encyclopedia II - Phil Spector - Eccentricity Spector has shunned publicity and is widely regarded as eccentric, having descended into many conflicts with the artists, songwriters, and promoters that he worked with. Stories include his discharging a firearm while in the studio with John Lennon during the recording of his cover album Rock 'n' Roll and placing a loaded pistol at Leonard Cohen's head during the sessions for Death of a Ladies' Man (1977). Dee Dee Ramone also reported that Spector threatened the Ramo ...

| | | | Phil Spector - Comeback: Encyclopedia II - Phil Spector - Early life and career Phil Spector was born into a lower-middle class Jewish family in the Bronx, New York. In 2003, he would reveal in an interview with the Daily Telegraph journalist Mick Brown that his parents were first cousins. "I don't know, genetically, whether or not that had something to do with what I am or who I became," he said. His father committed suicide because of family indebtedness in 1949, and Spector an ...

| | | | Phil Spector - Comeback: Encyclopedia II - Phil Spector - Record producer Spector's career quickly moved from performing to songwriting to production. Having perfect pitch, he quickly learned how to use a studio, first as an apprentice to Lester Sill and Lee Hazelwood in Arizona and, from 1960, after returning to New York, with Leiber and Stoller.
His first independent production success came in 1961 with the uptempo Pretty Little Angel Eyes, a record by Curtis Lee, backed up by a local doo-wop group called the Halos. Next came "Every Breath I Take" by Gene Pitney, also backed by the Halos. Later tha ...

| | | | Phil Spector - Comeback: Encyclopedia II - Phil Spector - Influence The influence of Phil Spector's sound and recording techniques is felt far beyond the recordings he actually produced. Many lesser producers simply attempted (with limited success) to emulate the Wall of Sound, while Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys—a fellow adherent of mono recording—considered Spector his main competition and spent hours studying and attempting to replicate and improve upon Spector's sound. Bruce Springsteen, another outspoken fan of Spector's work, emulated the Wall of Sound technique in his recording of "Born to Run".
For his many contributions to the music industry, Spector was inducted in ...
