Phil Spector is a pioneer of American music, a legendary producer of The Ronettes, The Righteous Brothers and later John Lennon, George Harrison and Tina Turner, and since 2009 a convicted murderer. Yet the Spector who appears in Vikram Jayanti’s documentary is not the stern, strangely coiffed suspect seen in sensational accounts of his trial, but a charming, smart music director with a generous, but reportedly accurate, assessment of his place in the history of popular music.
