"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
[A] rich, racy inside-show-biz story, with enough backstabbing to dye the Borgias' drapes and a madman cast ranging from John Lennon and Lenny Bruce to Sonny Bono.... [Ribowsky] springs terrific quotes from Spector's few friends and many foes.--James Wolcott "Vanity Fair "
Everything you've ever heard about Specter comes to life in this book.--Mike Villano "Billboard "
Ribowsky's biography contains more than a few good lines.... [The author] brings the story down to earth without sacrificing its drama. Relying on frank and extensive interviews... Ribowsky doesn't shrink from cruelty or even horror.--Greil Marcus
The most comprehensive account of a spectacularly troubled life comes in Mark Ribowsky's He's A Rebel.--John Clarke "Times, (London) "
He created the "wall of sound", produced the Beatles' last record, got the Ramones to go "pop", made the Righteous Brothers respectable, and was a millionaire by the age of 21. He was the star of the records he produced, not the artists. These and Spector's many other musical achievements are well-chronicled in this tightly-written and very accessible book that doesn't shy away from Spector's eccentricities or his violent, reclusive tendencies.
