He was also a murderer.

Think everybody knew that one and, I think SBruin has posted it a few hundred times.

He clearly was a piece of shit.

That being said River Deep Mountain High is a top 5 song for me.

The bit about Martin wanting "The Long and Winding Road" to be billed as "produced by George Martin, overproduced by Phil Spector" always makes me chuckle.

Unabashed Wall of Sound fan

Holy shit.  This @ 100X.

He was a sack of shit who will hopefully rot in hell.  But these two songs belong on the speakers don’t go up any higher list for me.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

Shit, I forgot this one too

Earlier music career - greatness

later musical career - overrated

post music career - dumpsterfire

River Deep, Mountain High might be the most underrated masterpiece of all time. Tina's vocals were on fire, and the string arrangement just explodes into the universe.

Little Steven Van Zandt tweeted the truth soon after Spector's death. Said he was the perfect example of "trust the art, not the artist." And that he helped create some of the greatest songs about love while being personally incapable of giving or receiving love. 

[Wally Pryor 5388]

Yeah, aging can be a bitch.   And this was 2+ years ago.

 

[staboner 5067]

i dunno man. he looks happy for a guy that is only 3.5" tall

[phdhorn 6224]

Not atypical famous person - genius at his craft, utter piece of shit as a human being.

Won't miss him at all.  Haz Brian Wilson.

John Prine has a interesting story about what a genius he was to write with but what a complete lunatic he was in every other aspect. 

They wrote enough of this one together for Prine to give him co-write credits.

Full story in the link above:

And the whole evening kind of went like that. It was a big circus - sort of a show. You know, Phil had a couple of bodyguards with him all the time. Your drink never got past - lower than half full. And these guys - one looked like a squirrelly, sort of skinny guy. And the other guy looked like Chewbacca. And they were with him everywhere. And Phil had a three-piece suit on with a shoulder holster. All of them were carrying pistols, you know. And it was a pretty crazy evening.
