Responsible for the Wall of Sound but apparently was a very nasty person, I've read Be My Baby , Ronnie Waldron from the Ronettes autobiography, he was very cruel to her and she wasn't allowed out of his mansion, one Christmas Day he place ahis present to her under the tree....twins he'd bought of someone, a very harrowing read

RIP.

He was by all accounts a deeply troubled individual - demons manifested themselves in an unnatural urge for control in both his personal and professional lives, and an unhealthy obsession with guns which led to the incarceration he was experiencing at the time of his death.

A legacy of ground-breaking music, and a sombre lesson about the downside of fame is left behind.

His musical legacy lives on & for that - RIP.

[Peter Pedant]

did I read that

Spector once bought twins as a christmas prez
and set them under a xmas tree?

[andy-hughes]

Spector adopted twin boys and brought them home on Christmas day without telling his wife Ronnie.

I think human nature is to remember the good things people have done rather than the bad things.

From a recent thread where I referred to someone by their surname only, Andy's response was:

//The lady is usually referred to as 'Meghan', 'Meghan Markle', or 'The Duchess', and any of those courtesy titles would do - not 'Markle' as though you are a public school sixth former shouting down the corridor to a fag.//

[gollob]

must remember that next time Hitler is mentioned

[AuntPollyGrey]

[iluvmargie]

Couldn't care less about this man's death to be honest.

[Bobbisox1]

[LadyCG]

Yes, good riddance.
