Description: Their first major hit single was "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" in 1965. Produced by Phil Spector, the record is often cited as one of the peak expressions of Spector's Wall of Sound production techniques. It was one of the most successful pop singles of its time, despite exceeding the standard length for radio play. Indeed, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" remains the most played song in radio history, estimated to have been broadcast over 8 million times to date. A little known fact about this song was that Spector utilized Sonny and Cher as back-up singers

thanksforthemusic ::: Favorites ...when these guys started out in Southern Calif., they called themselves something else, but some of the Black guys thought they sounded "Righteous", also these guys had the term "Blue-Eyed Soul" attributed to them...and expanded to other White guys like Gregg Allman, Eic Burdon of the Animals,Etc. 07-08-08 17:09:13 _____________________________________________________

Skeletine ::: Favorites i don't get it! what's this Wall Of Sound technique? i don't hear it! 07-08-09 11:56:33 _____________________________________________________
prozacforall ::: Favorites it became known as the wall of sound because of the size of the orchestra and all the echo and reverb he used on pop hits. at the time a lot of recordings were very subdued, all the instruments pushed way to the back and the vocals louder up front. it was so loud and big it was like getting by a brick "wall of sound". 07-08-09 17:41:25 _____________________________________________________
Skeletine ::: Favorites thanks, that makes sense. the reverb really does help the feel of the song. he's really an amazing producer 07-08-09 18:11:34 _____________________________________________________

Waldo99 ::: Favorites It was not really used full force on this song. It is essentially loading the background with music sound and backup vocals. Some of Spector's songs had more of the "wall" sound than others. For the RB, their awesome voices really made the songs. 07-08-09 21:44:39 _____________________________________________________
Waldo99 ::: Favorites If you want to see an example of how the RBs did not need Spector, do a search on "Unchained Melody Traduzida" which is a live performance of Unchained Melody without the Spector arrangement. It is better than the Spector arrangement! 07-08-10 16:22:24 _____________________________________________________
