Year: 1963Written by: Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, & Phil SpectorBillboard Hot 100: #6[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE_jOD2Fxvs[/youtube] From Rolling Stone:
The original Crystals had cut "He Hit Me (and It Felt Like a Kiss)" for Spector, but a whole new set of Crystals made the follow-up, "He's a Rebel." The original lineup returned for this classic, often credited as the record where Spector perfected his towering Wall of Sound.
