‘I Walk The Line’ — Johnny Cash
When Johnny Cash began work on “I Walk the Line,” he was a member of the Air Force stationed in Germany. He was finally able to capture it several years later, despite the fact that the original tape had been damaged. This was lucky because he opted to accept the strange sound that emerged. To add even more taste, he put a piece of wax paper around the guitar strings. This is how he got his first Billboard chart No. 1 hit.

‘River Deep – Mountain High’ — Ike and Tina Turner
Phil Spector believes the 1966 hit “River Deep – Mountain High” by Ike and Tina Turner to be his best effort as a producer. This sentiment is shared by a large number of people. On Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, it was ranked No. 33. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Turner describes the experience of putting it together as “unforgettable.” Spector made her sing it for hours in order to make it “perfect.”
