The Crystals - Da Doo Ron Ron

Recorded at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles in March 1963, this was Phil Spector's first big success with his 'wall of sound' production technique that made him famous. For the younger crowd it is hard to imagine listening to music through a 3 inch speaker on a transistor radio. But we did. This song was a quantum leap in sound that overcame the limitations of radios and the AM sound of the day. This song sticks in my memory as being different sound wise than anything else at the time. It would be years later before I found out about Spector and the Wrecking Crew.

The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
