Connecting Phil Spector and Maren Morris
Phil Spector
Spector directed the overall sound of his recordings, using a core group that became known as the Wrecking Crew, including session players such as Hal Blaine, Larry Knechtel, Steve Douglas, Carol Kaye, Roy Caton, Glen Campbell, and Leon Russell.
Leon Russell
American singer-songwriter
On June 23, 2013, Russell performed on the CMT Crossroads broadcast with Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Jamey Johnson, Norah Jones, Ashley Monroe and Neil Young.
Sheryl Crow
American musician, singer, songwriter, and actress (born 1962)
Also currently in production is an album of duets, which is set to feature contributions from Don Henley, Jason Isbell, Maren Morris, Chris Stapleton, Joe Walsh, Sting, Stevie Nicks, Lucius (band), Willie Nelson, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris and Kris Kristofferson, as well as Keith Richards, who will duet on a Rolling Stones cover.
The following week, Crow released another track, "Prove You Wrong" featuring Maren Morris and Stevie Nicks.
Phil Spector
He established the Warner-Spector label with Warner Bros. Records, which undertook new Spector-produced recordings with Cher, Darlene Love, Danny Potter, and Jerri Bo Keno, in addition to several reissues.
When the Cher and Keno singles (the latter's recordings were only issued in Germany) foundered on the charts, Spector released Dion DiMucci's '' Born to Be with You'' to little commercial fanfare in 1975; largely produced and recorded by Spector in 1974, it was subsequently disowned by the singer.
Sonny Bono, a former associate of Spector's, developed a jangly, guitar-laden variation on the Spector sound, which is heard mainly in mid-1960s productions for his then-wife Cher, notably "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)".

Taylor Swift
It was preceded by the three tracks: "Love Story (Taylor's Version)", "You All Over Me" with Maren Morris, and "Mr. Perfectly Fine", the first of which made Swift the second artist after Dolly Parton to have both the original and the re-recording of a single reach number one on the Hot Country Songs chart.
Critics have since noted Swift's sound resonating in various albums released by female country singers like Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini.<ref>Sources on impact on later country singers
Phil Spector
With Harrison, Spector co-produced Harrison's "Bangla Desh" (number 23)—rock's first charity single—and wife Ronnie Spector's "Try Some, Buy Some" (number 77). The latter was recorded for Ronnie's intended solo album on Apple Records, a project that stalled due to the same erratic, alcohol-fueled behavior from Spector that had hindered work on ''All Things Must Pass''. Spector was convinced that the Harrison-written single would be a major hit, and its poor commercial performance was one of the biggest disappointments of his career.{{refn|group=nb|Spector also co-produced, with Lennon and Yoko Ono, the Elastic Oz Band's "God Save Us", a single protesting the jailing of '' Oz'' magazine's editors on obscenity charges.}}
Lennon retained Spector for the 1971 Christmas single "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and the poorly reviewed 1972 album '' Some Time in New York City'' (number 48), both collaborations with Yoko Ono.
In early 1981, shortly after the death of John Lennon, he temporarily re-emerged to co-produce Yoko Ono's '' Season of Glass.''
Yoko Ono

On the strength of the singles "Hold Me" (Featuring Dave Audé) and "Walking on Thin Ice", the then-80-year-old beat Katy Perry, Robin Thicke, and her friend Lady Gaga.
