Death of a Ladies’ Man from Ramona Bar<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n
\n

In the early \u201960s, Phil Spector was the important person in pop. At the age of 21, the ever-controversial producer (who is today serving 19 years in prison for the 2003 death of actress Lana Clarkson) became the chief owner of his own label, Philles Records, and went on to produce 18 records in the Top 40, making household names of The Ronettes<\/a> and Darlene Love<\/a> (both later inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame); his song \u201cYou\u2019ve Lost That Lovin\u2019 Feeling,\u201d first recorded by The Righteous Brothers, was the most popular radio song of the 20th century; even after this period of prominence, Spector gave life to one of the most famous records of all time, Let It Be<\/em> by the Beatles. But perhaps Spector\u2019s most important gift to the music industry was the Wall of Sound, a studio technique whereby tracks are layered on top of one another to produce a kind of sonic architecture, which has influenced the way albums across varying genres have been made ever since. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys has called<\/a> Spector the \u201cbiggest inspiration in my whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n

This whiskey cocktail from Ramona bar<\/a> in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, borrows its name from one of Spector\u2019s later works, the Leonard Cohen album Death of a Ladies\u2019 Man<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWhen we first started, all of our cocktail names were literary, film or music references,\u201d says Scott Schneider, co-owner of Ramona, the sister bar of the old East Village haunt Elsa. \u201cIt was carried over from there. Death of a Ladies\u2019 Man always been one of our best-selling whiskies.\u201d With rye at its base, the cocktail is layered with Islay Scotch<\/a> and tobacco bitters. \u201cPeople expect the drink to be really smoky,\u201d Schneider says. \u201cIt\u2019s not. You can taste all the flavors, but it\u2019s surprisingly round and balanced.\u201d Find the recipe below, along with a playlist, curated by Schneider, that \u201cstarts with songs recorded by Phil Spector,\u201d he says, \u201cand moves on to those that openly emulate his style.\u201d<\/p>\n
