60 years ago, Billboard #8 for the week of Nov. 19, 1962: He's A Rebel - The Crystals https://youtu.be/aF7V2dSvxpo
This song is important in musical history. From listening to it, can you guess why?
It was produced by Phil Spector. It wasn't his first number 1 hit--that was "To Know Him is to Love Him" in 1958. (Yes, that's Spector on the guitar.) https://youtu.be/sV718cKqJLw

However, though it lacks strings, "He's a Rebel" was the first number 1 hit to have that distinctive Spector trademark--the "wall of sound."
