Phil Spector fun fact...

PS had many “gofers” who helped him including one who got “paid” in free use of the studio.

That gofer was a young Sonny Bono and used the free studio time to record his hit, “I Got You Babe” with some freak named Cher.

Sonny also co-wrote “Needles & Pins” that became a hit for The Searchers.

Weird tie in.

Needles and Pins was redone by the Ramones, who also had a LP produced by PS.

Ronnie really stole the spotlight in that Eddie Money song "Take me home tonight".

Sonny also co-wrote “Needles & Pins” that became a hit for The Searchers.

This version, from two years earlier, is much better.
