Bobby Sheen's "Sweet Sweet Love" has quite a Spector feel to my ears ... :)

Here, Sonny & Cher take on a Ronettes tune:-

John Madara and Dave White produced a few Spector-influenced gems.

Here is Maureen Gray:-

Phil took the song and adapted it to be used as a public service song

Phil Spector influenced so many song-writers and producers. This one is a favourite of a chum of mine, who celebrates his birthday this week. Play it loud:-

You guys have any Spector-ish favourites?

Not sure if I'd ever heard "Boys Town" before SWI, though having just watched some of the TV programmes that were on this week "moving to boys town" doesn't seem such a great idea.

I think that when it comes to Spectoresque tunes it's difficult to top the Righteous Brothers "Soul & Inspiration" … funnily in Britain it is virtually forgotten, though back in The US in '66 it was a bigger hit than "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" was the year before!!
