Larry Levine Posted on May 16th
Whatever the psychology behind Phil Spector’s “wall of sound” on such records
as Be My Baby and You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’, his obsessions depended

senior, he enabled a small, low, hot Los Angeles studio’s acoustics to turn
massed instruments and vocalists into something that leapt from humble radio
speakers worldwide. “Larry’s a nice fellow, really sweet,” said Spector, who
worked with him again, less equably, in the Seventies.
