Wall of pain : the biography of Phil Spector

Through the 1960s, he was the Tycoon Of Teen. Through the 1970s, he was the Mad Genius. And for the next 20 years, until the death of actress Lana Clarkson threw him back under the spotlight, he was rock's most legendary recluse. Phil Spector defined the way we listen to music and, by refusing to play the game, helped to define the way we look at modern celebrities.

Wall Of Pain: The Biography Of Phil Spector tells the complete story of the producer's remarkable journey, from working-class Brooklyn boy to universally respected recording wizard. Going beyond the lurid headlines to investigate the truths behind the myths, Wall Of Pain unravels the career of one of rock's most misunderstood figures. And through interviews with ex-wife Ronnie Spector, close friend Doc Pomus, Sonny Bono and others, the legend of the studio is brought to life.
