The best songs with ‘the wall of sound’ by Phil Spector | Culture

The music producer Phil Spector, changed the sound of pop music in the 60s thanks to his style, Wall of Sound, that is, a wall of sound that signified arrangements with a great band and unusual instruments or a sound with many layers, as this sinister character used to explain. The result, songs turned into great successes. I work with Ike and Tina Turner, with the Beatles, and then with John Lennon or George Harrison already alone, also with the Ramones The Leonard Cohen. Its influence is enormous in the world of music, something that can be appreciated in the work of groups such as the Beach Boys or artists like Bruce Springsteen, especially in the song Born in the USA.

Spector tested positive for COVID-19 a month ago and transferred to a hospital from his jail cell to, where he was serving a sentence for killing the actress Lana Clackson in 2003. Their music career and tortuous life were brought to television in the David Mamet biopic for HBO, which they starred in Al Pacino and Helen Mirren.

The last song produced before entering prison was in the Abbey Road studio, in London, in 2002, with the group Starsailor. Magazine list Rolling Stone of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time of 2004 featured many of Phil Spector’s songs, including:

Imagine, by John Lennon

Be My Baby, de The Ronnettes

Mountain High, de Ike and Tina Turner

You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’, de The Righteous Brothers,

He’s A Rebel, de The Crystals,

Unchained Melody, de The Righteous Brothers, Unchained Melody

My Sweet Lord, de George Harrison, My Sweet Lord
