Then she started singing that bridge and the world stopped and vanished, leaving only this song. To this day, everything comes to a stop when I hear this song playing.

This was the first song I fell in love with on the radio as a kid. Later, as a piano player, I marveled at the changes on that beautiful bridge, so sophisticated for a teenager to have composed. I'll remember the genius and ignore the tragedy, which is, after all far more common in this life.

Bought this recording way back when. Still love it. November, 2022.

A 19 year old Phil Spector wrote and arranged this song which was #1 on the Billboard charts for 3 weeks. An auspicious beginning to a brilliant career to say the least. In the 60's and 70's...Phil was THE MAN as far as a record producer. He steered the boat on a ton of #1 hits like the Righteous Bros. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". - Heartbreaking that later in life he went so far off the rails he somehow got convicted of murder and died in prison.

Back in the day--one of the ultimate slow dance songs

Something about this song is quite unlike any other, I definitely see why John Lennon said he heard the wall of sound on it but it’s not the fully realised wall of sound as this was Spector’s first record when he was just 18 years old and yet there’s something haunting and most definitely timeless about the song, instrumentation, the vocal harmonies and production, even then Spector understood the previously unrealised importance of an echoic kick drum. When she glides into that bridge, stops you in your tracks. Undeniably genius and highly influential.

the chord progression is so ahead of its time, something not usually heard until the 80s or 90s
