Did Phil Spector produce songs for the Beach Boys?

Answer 1

Beach Boys founder, chief composer and producer Brian Wilson admired Spector, and considered him his closest rival. Wilson even began using the same studio (Gold Star) and musicians as Spector, to build on what he heard in Spector's work.

Spector and Wilson worked together once, on a backing track for a song which they never finished. The track was used in a public service announcement, featuring Jay and the Americans.

The Beach Boys were a self-contained outfit and I don"t think they had any direct connection with Spector. Spector produced the following acts: Ronettes, Pony Tails, Teddy Bears, Darlene Love, Bobb-E Sox and the Blue Jeans, Crystals- much later some cuts by The Beatles such as Long and Winding Road, ( very un-Spector sounding) and also the Righteous Brothers in a more mellow vein. as far as I know He had no direct connection with the beach boys though it is claimed (Don"t Worry, Baby,) which is a Beach Boys song- is an answer song to Be My Baby- and Ronnie ( by Beach Boys) is a Paen to then Miss Bennett. Because, you were my first love! Philip would not like that!
