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!

Spector did post-production work in 1970 on Let It Be(salvaged from the abandoned Get Back project of 1969), sharing production credit with George Martin (who supervised the original sessions) and Glyn Johns (who remixed some of the recordings). He did not work directly with the Beatles on the recordings, though Ringo Starr did attend a session, playing drums to help the orchestra and choir keep their timing.Spector's touches went against the original intent of the album, which was to record all the songs live without making changes later. While most of the Beatles were satisfied with the results, which made a sellable album out of a project they'd just as soon have forgotten (John Lennon's reaction was "When I heard it, I didn't puke"), Paul McCartney was furious, and decided it was time to start a solo career.McCartney later spearheaded Let It Be - Naked, which was a digital remix and edit of the original recordings, more in line with the original concept.
