Phil Spector Autographs
Harvey Phillip Spector (December 26, 1939 – January 16, 2021) was an American record producer and songwriter primarily known for his Wall of Sound production style in the 1960s, followed by his trials and imprisonment for murder after the 2000s. Considered the first music producer auteur, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in pop music history and the most successful producer of the 1960s.
Born in the Bronx, Spector relocated to Los Angeles as a teenager and co-founded the Teddy Bears in 1958, writing their chart-topping single "To Know Him Is to Love Him". Mentored by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, by 1961, he co-established Philles Records, becoming the youngest U.S. label owner at the time. He exerted unprecedented control over recording and marketing, and he typically worked in collaboration alongside arranger Jack Nitzsche, engineer Larry Levine, and numerous professional songwriting teams. His studio band, later known as the Wrecking Crew, rose to industry prominence through his success with acts like the Crystals, the Ronettes, and the Righteous Brothers. After producing Ike & Tina Turner's "River Deep – Mountain High", he temporarily withdrew from music. From 1970 to 1973, he produced the Beatles' Let It Be and solo recordings by John Lennon and George Harrison. He was also briefly head of A&R at the band's Apple Records. By 1980, following album productions for Dion DiMucci (Born to Be with You), Leonard Cohen (Death of a Ladies' Man), and the Ramones (End of the Century), he had entered a period of semi-retirement.
Spector ultimately produced nineteen U.S. top-ten singles, including four additional number-ones (the Crystals' "He's a Rebel", the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", the Beatles' "The Long and Winding Road", and Harrison's "My Sweet Lord"). He is credited with having a significant impact on rock music, the girl group sound, and other trends associated with post-1960s popular music and studio-centric recording practice, including the professional function of record producers themselves. He also contributed to the development of music genres and movements such as psychedelia, art rock/pop, noise pop, and shoegaze. In 1989, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
