The Music Producers Series: Phil Spector

[Gabe]

The philosophy for recording had always been to capture a performance. While a few people, like Les Paul, were using the recording process to actually create the performance, it was a novelty until Spector.

Spector’s Philly’s Records was certainly the template, if not the inspiration, for Gordy’s Motown.

Cynthia wrote with and was married to Barry. She wrote lyrics to “He’s So Shy,” a song I did with the Pointers.

By the way, speaking of song writers, Mike Stoller, of Lieber and Stoller, plays 20-40 Stud every Saturday at HP.
