All Great songs from the roots of Rock & Roll. Too bad Phil Spector ruined a lot of them.

Spector’s sound was a part of pop music history. Would the Righteous Brothers, etc. have sounded better with someone else. I’m not too sure.
After obtaining Let It Be (Naked), he sure didn’t do the Beatles justice, that’s for sure.
