About this product

Product Information

Phil Spector created the wall of sound, produced the Beatles' last record, persuaded the Ramones to go pop, made the Righteous Brothers sound respectable, and was a millionaire by age 21. His credits include some of the most important and memorable songs of the 1960s: The Ronettes' Be My Baby, The Crystals' And Then He Kissed Me, and Ike and Tina Turner's River Deep, Mountain High. Culled from more than 100 interviews with Spector's closest associates, including staff producers, singers, musicians, and ex-wives, He's a Rebel discusses all stages of Spector's varied musical career, from his first hit, To Know Him Is To Love Him (written as a teenager) to his appointment to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In addition to chronicling his musical achievements and unpredictable genius, the author boldly explores Spector's legendary eccentricities, addictions, and violent, reclusive tendencies. He's a Rebel offers a definitive, unflinching portrait of Phil Spector, the producer who transformed the airwaves and forever impacted the sound of popular music.

The most comprehensive account of a spectacularly troubled life comes in Mark Ribowsky's He's A Rebel ., This book is long overdue--pick it up and relish Ribowsky's keen insight on "the devil of rock 'n' roll.", The most comprehensive account of a spectacularly troubled life comes in Mark Ribowsky's He's A Rebel., This book is long overdue "pick it up and relish Ribowsky's keen insight on "the devil of rock 'n' roll.", Ribowsky's biography contains more than a few good lines.... [The author] brings the story down to earth without sacrificing its drama. Relying on frank and extensive interviews... Ribowsky doesn't shrink from cruelty or even horror., [A] rich, racy inside-show-biz story, with enough backstabbing to dye the Borgias' drapes and a madman cast ranging from John Lennon and Lenny Bruce to Sonny Bono.... [Ribowsky] springs terrific quotes from Spector's few friends and many foes.

    Phil Spector Story

    If you are a Phil Spector fan or, especially, if you are a Ronettes' fan, then you need to read this book as part of your ongoing attempt to sort out truth from fiction regarding how things unfolded with Phil, Veronica Bennett, etc. You get honest opinions from many who were there to help fill in the blanks. And while I am not apologizing for Ronnie Spector whose lifestyle is subject a lot of second-guessing; Phil Spector is showing himself to be something less than a paragon of character. Interesting reading. I bought this book on EBay for a super reasonable price and found it to be a real value.

    THOSE WERE THE DAYS - THE SIXTIES- THIS IS A GREAT READ!

    For those of you from "that era" this is an excellent read. Phil Spector was really such a talented man yet he never seemed to really "get it" and continually had to add lies to his story and it was so unnecessary. Just read the book, you'll be glad you did.
