Coinciding with his trial in the USA on charges of first degree murder, this is a timely perspective on the reclusive eccentric. Drawing from a compilation of interviews over many years with people who had close interaction: friends, associates and romantic interests, this biography features interviews, many never previously published, with ex-wife Ronnie Spector, close friend Doc Pomus, co-writer Ellie Greenwich, session singer Darlene Love, engineer Larry Levine, rock 'n' roll historian, Michael Oaks and many more. For the avid Spector fan the appendix provides a complete guide to all Spector's productions over the past 40 years.
