Great post! I agree that music producers do not get the respect they deserve. I guess I never realized that Phil Spector did all that. Pretty impressive even though he seem to have finished up his life as a lunitic. Then again a LOT of really talented people are lunitics.
One of my music heroes is
Todd Rundgren not just for his diverse musical talent but also for his huge skills as a
producer. I am not on the list to start threads in this forum but I think Todd would make a great topic in this series if one of the folks who can start threads would want to go in that direction.
