maqroll Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Spector produced 24 top 40 hits between 1960-65, including 13 top 10's. Giant figure in pop music. Total psycho though. Few people will shed a tear over this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music industry is full of people who prove that how much you admire someone's work is in no way related to how much you admire the person. Talented guy but mad as a shit house rat.

Mark Albrighton Posted January 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2021 I don’t think I’ve ever watched a Larry King interview. The closest I’ve got is when he appeared in films and tv shows as himself, interviewing a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
