But the evidence of his greatest hits insists that he was heavily dependent on a variety of assistance. Which makes sense: Record making is fundamentally collaborative. Spector associates like engineer Larry Levine, arranger Jack Nitzsche, and husband-wife songwriters Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich were simply indispensable to his teen-art concoctions. Besides them, every Spector track featured a dozen or more musicians. The constant standouts were' drummer Hal Blaine, one of the most inventive and prolific in rock history, and saxophonist Steve Douglas. Finally, there were vast differences among Spector's complement of singers. An important part of Spector's genius stemmed from his ability to recruit, organize, and provide leadership within such a musical community. Darlene Love (who also recorded for Spector with the Crystals and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans) ranks just beneath Aretha Franklin among female rock singers, and "Christmas" is her greatest record, though it was never a hit. (The track probably achieved its greatest notice in the mid-eighties, when it was used over the opening credits of Joe Dante's film, Gremlins.) Spector's Wall of Sound, with its continuously thundering horns and strings, never seemed more massive than it does here.

A similar eclecticism and scope also surfaced in his solo work, which couched his charmingly gravelly voice in a rustic yet rich swamp pop fusion of country, blues, and gospel. Born Claude Russell Bridges on April 2, 1942, in Lawton, Oklahoma, he began studying classical piano at age three, a decade later adopting the trumpet and forming his first band. At 14, Russell lied about his age to land a gig at a Tulsa nightclub, playing behind Ronnie Hawkins & the Hawks before touring in support of Jerry Lee Lewis. Two years later, he settled in Los Angeles, studying guitar under the legendary James Burton and appearing on sessions with Dorsey Burnette and Glen Campbell. As a member of Spector’s renowned studio group, Russell played on many of the finest pop singles of the ’60s, also arranging classics like Ike & Tina Turner’s monumental “River Deep, Mountain High”; other hits bearing his input include the Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man,” Gary Lewis & the Playboys’ “This Diamond Ring,” and Herb Alpert’s “A Taste of Honey.” In 1967, Russell built his own recording studio, teaming with guitarist Marc Benno to record the acclaimed Look Inside the Asylum Choir LP.

True Crime: Phil Spector's Real Defense Attorney Weighs in On
PHOTO COURTESY: PHILIP V. CARUSO/HBO LINDA KENNEY BADEN AND ACTRESS HELEN MIRREN WHO PORTRAYED HER (PHOTO COURTESY: PHILIP V. CARUSO/HBO) 8 3 2 1 True Crime: Phil Spector’s Real Defense Attorney Weighs in on HBO Movie A Q&A with Linda Kenney Baden. How close does David Mamet’s film get? March 20, 2013 Catherine Green Crime 5 Comments The tagline for David Mamet’s film Phil Spector, which premieres this Sunday (March 24) on HBO, starts off by warning viewers who expect journalistic accuracy: “The truth is somewhere in the mix.” A fictionalized blending of events, the movie imagines what might have happened on the night when actress Lana Clarkson was shot dead inside Spector’s Alhambra mansion then follows Spector’s subsequent murder trials and the media circus surrounding them. How true to life is this account? Criminal defense attorney Linda Kenney Baden, whose work on Spector’s behalf in the 2007 trial forced the jury into deadlock, is cagey about the details. “I can’t confirm anything, because to confirm would be breaching the attorney-client privilege,” she says when asked about her impressions of the film, which stars Helen Mirren in a role based on Baden. “I think what David [Mamet] is doing, and what juries do, is they try to see what could have happened behind the scenes.” Could the defense team have gathered a focus group to gauge the sympathy factor in Spector’s case? Could they set up elaborate reenactments of what happens when you startle a woman with a gun in her mouth? Could they conduct blood splatter analysis to determine whether Spector’s white jacket could have been left nearly immaculate standing arm’s length from an explosive, fatal gunshot? “Sure,” Baden says.

The Rise of the “Girl Groups”
THE RISE OF THE “GIRL GROUPS” OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION Were the Girl Groups of the early 1960s voices of female empowerment or reflections of traditional female roles? OVERVIEW Tucked between the popularity of the early Rock and Rollers and the mid-1960s British Invasion was the phenomenon known as the “Girl Groups.” With names like the Bobbettes, the Shangri-Las, the Ronettes and the Chantelles, they offered a style rich in vocal harmonies that was eagerly embraced by a wide audience. A number of Girl Group hit songs were co-written by female songwriters, including Carole King, Ellie Greenwich, Cynthia Weil, and Florence Greenberg (who also launched her own record label and whose life served as the basis for the 2011 Broadway musical Baby It’s You). If, up to that point, male voices and male songwriters dominated the popular music scene, things were changing. Rock and Roll had a new female sound that produced a string of hits. The Girl Groups rarely if ever performed material they had written themselves and rarely if ever played the instruments featured on their recordings, a job left to male studio musicians. Lyrically, most of their songs -- from the Dixie Cups’ “Chapel of Love” to the Angels’ “My Boyfriend’s Back” -- focused on the males in their lives and the promise of a satisfying relationship with that perfect guy. But there was nonetheless something new at work: a female voice was emerging despite it all. In this lesson, students will evaluate what the emergence of the Girl Groups says about the roles of girls and women in the early 1960s, as the nation sat on the threshold of a new Women’s Rights movement that would challenge traditional female roles.

Be My Baby”—The Ronettes (1963) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Cary O’Dell
“Be My Baby”—The Ronettes (1963) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Cary O’Dell The Ronettes Original label Phil Spector Instantly infectious and memorable, “Be My Baby” has been described as the “Record of the Century” and the “greatest pop record ever made.” It was recorded by the Ronettes in 1963. It was written by Phil Spector, Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich and was produced by Phil Spector. It was named to the National Recording Registry in 2006. The Ronettes were a group of girls from Spanish Harlem, sisters Veronica (“Ronnie”) and Estelle Bennett and their cousin Nedra Talley. Before becoming a trio, the young women were a group of five joined by two other cousins, Elaine and Diane. (Sometimes they were also joined by their male cousin, Ira.) They sang together and perfected their harmonies at their grandmother’s house before branching out to play local dances and talent contests. Along with refining their line-up and sound, the girls also defined their look. In his biography of Phil Spector, author Mick Brown says of the group: The standard demeanor of girl groups of the day was one of demure innocence…But the Ronettes looked as if it was a Saturday night and they were cruising for trouble—figure- hugging dresses, hair piled into improbable beehives and lashings of mascara, which transformed the youthful high school girls into vamps. Today, the Ronettes are nearly as remembered for their look (which would later be largely carbon-copied by Amy Winehouse) as for their sound. After first being signed by and recording for the Colpix label (under the name Ronnie and the Relatives), the Ronettes came to the attention of Phil Spector who immediately took a liking to the group and especially to its de facto leader Ronnie.

George Harrison asked Clive Arrowsmith to photograph Phil for the album cover that was being designed by (John) Kosh. Photos © 1972 Clive Arrowsmith Among the mish-mash of “toys” on the back cover was a top hat (with its wrap- around band removed) that George brought to the session and which was (supposedly) worn by Mick Jagger. Another item among the goodies was a (British) copy of Fantastic Four #127 – cover-dated October 1972. Most famously, Phil was wearing three pinback buttons reading “Back to MONO.” He continued his pro-mono campaign for at least two years, and for some time John Lennon helped him promote mono records.
