"[This] uber-detailed study of pop's scariest visionary is just about as good
as a music bio can get."Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"[A] remarkable book about, among other things, fame, obsession, genius, money and
madness.this is the definitive study of the man and the myth that engulfed him."
Observer (London)

"A thorough and elegantly readable account of Spector's life."Guardian

Phil Spector, born in the Bronx in 1940, grew up an outsider despised by his peers. Yet
after his family moved to California, he learned everything he could about music, formed
a band, and had a number-one hit with "To Know Him Is to Love Him." He quickly became
the top producer of early rock and roll, originator of such girl groups as the Ronettes, a
millionaire by twenty-one, owner of his own label by twenty-two. Hit followed hit, and for
all of them he used a new technique called the "wall of sound."

But the reign of the boy-man who owned pop culture seemed doomed by the "British
Invasion," and he spiraled into paranoid isolation and peculiar behavior. Though he
seemed to improve for a time, even returning to the recording studio to work, it didn't
last, and in 2003, the actress Lana Clarkson was found at his home, dead by gunshot.
