Quote for the Day:
"I got tired. But Phil was the type of person that just wanted to get it right.
I was afraid. I was afraid to disturb him or be upset.
I was getting sleepy, but I would say "No, I'll keep pushing on, because Phil wants this record right."
So going over 'Da Doo Ron Ron' - 30 takes, 40 takes, 45 - that's a lot of takes to keep going over and over, to get exactly what he wanted.
But then, he gave me the biggest songs ever - 'Da Doo Ron Ron' and 'Then He Kissed Me'.
I couldn't have been more grateful to Phil than that."
