- Like Frank Farian with Milli Vanilli and Boney M, Phil Spector also had a habit of recording one vocalist and crediting another. On more than one occasion Spector used recordings of Darlene Love and credited them to the Crystals. Just one of the many things that make Phil Spector one of the dodgiest people in the music business.

It's so good that Darlene was finally inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame
Wonderful singer wonderful lady xxx
Given their respective timelines, I'd say that Frank Farian was more like Phil Spector in this regard rather than PS being like FF. This is like say a parent resembles his/her child with genetics working backwards. :-D But, I do know what you mean! I'd also say that PS had a bigger percentage profit in The Crystals' name being on a record than in Darlene Love's name.

Wish people would stop saying the Wrecking Crew played for the Monkees; some of them did over the years, but it was Boyce & Hart’s Candy Store Prophets who at least did the first album, and other producers (and there were many) brought in their own session players. Ultimately the Monkees became their own producers and did the same - Neil young being one of them.
He sure got his in the end.
Spector was a genius at blaxploitation. He sure got his due. Hope he’s happy living with his father, Satan.
The music industry is a business. Not a friendship or a family. They have been doing this since the 50's. Even the Beatles didn't record their music. Vocals yes. Music no.
This Vid is full of misinformation. Spector produced dozens of records and had numerous hits before he met the Crystals or Darlene Love. Darlene Wright was a professional back-up singer in LA in the group "The Blossoms." The Crystals were in New York and Spector was in LA and wanted the record out ASAP, so he hired Darlene and the Blossoms, along with several other back-up singers. She got three times her usual back-up fee for singing lead on "He's a Rebel." She didn't like it much and expected it to be a flop. It only bothered her after it became a hit - if it had flopped we wouldn't be having this conversation.
