Yes it always bugs me the way Spector single handedly gets credit for all
those great records. The so called Spector sound could never have existed
without Hal Blaine's explosive drumming and above all the performances of
The Ronnetts. I suspect that when Destiny's Child ascend to world
domination they will order a rewrite of those books :)
