Phil Spectre, RIP 16:37 - Jan 17 with 3948 views

Phil Spectre has died at 81. He died in prison. Whatever the truth and facts behind the murder he was definitely a musical genius. He is “Wall of Sound” will always have a place in modern music history.

Strong and stable my arse.

An absolute master, without doubt. Brought music producing to new levels with The Beach Boys and The Beatles/Martin.

I see earlier that the BBC had to change their headline from:

"Talented but flawed producer Phil Spector dies aged 81"
to
"Phil Spector: Pop producer jailed for murder dies at 81".

when people rightly pointed out that killing people was maybe more than a flaw!

Incredible body of music and a f##cked up abusive oddball.

I'm going to assume the title misspelling is on purpose

Flynnbo got there before me. I’ve always wanted to what Brian Wilson thought of Phil ðŸ˜€

This was him on the right!

I loved the Wall of Sound but he was not a nice man (as I think Darlene Love once said)

I’ve found myself defending Spector but it’s really just his music. A lot of exceptionally talented people were weird to the point of being downright horrible going back as far as Caravaggio who was also a murderer.

Strong and stable my arse.

That's a bit like saying Fred West was a talented but flawed builder

Be careful, Paul Parker will get abusive if you prefer correct spelling.
