About
Harvey Phillip Spector (December 26, 1939 – January 16, 2021) was an American record producer and songwriter known primarily for his orchestral pop productions and recording technique, dubbed "the Wall of Sound", and decades later for his trials and imprisonment for murder. Considered the first music producer auteur, he is the most successful American producer of the 1960s and widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in pop music history. Born in the Bronx, Spector relocated to Los Angeles as a teenager and co-founded the Teddy Bears in 1958, writing their chart-topping single "To Know Him Is to Love Him". With Lester Sill, he co-established Philles Records in 1961, becoming the youngest U.S. label owner at the time, and exerted unprecedented artistic control over his recordings, typically working in collaboration with a rotation of songwriting teams, arranger Jack Nitzsche, and engineer Larry Levine.
