Spector: Well, it's obvious that Paul McCartney and John Lennon may be the greatest rock & roll singers that we've ever had. They may be the greatest singers of the last ten years -- they really may be! I mean there is a reason for the Beatles otherthan the fact that they're like Rogers and Hart and Hammerstein, Gershwin, all of 'em. They are great, *great* singers, and they can do anything with their voices.
[Snip of comments in which Spector says that most artists merely sing, whereas the Beatles "interpret" their songs.]
Q: What about John Lennon?
Spector: I haven't spoken to Lennon in some time so I don't know where he's at now. But I have a feeling that Yoko may not be the greatest influence on him. I mean, I don't know, but I have a feeling that he's a far greater talent than she is.

consummated their relationship, John had wanted to hold a press conference and announce to the world that he was Jesus Christ.

John was youthful when Mimi intervened in his life to take him away from Julia and John "Bobby" Dykins. When you're that young you assume your adult caretakers know what they're doing and are trustworthy.Why did Lennon choose to work with a psychopathic control freak like Spector?

There is just too much weirdness about all this.
In the case of Yoko, we have to remember that John's life had become (in Pete Shotton's words) a "continuous acid trip," and he had begun to surround himself with shady characters. Indeed, just hours before John summoned Yoko to his house and
Mimi, fortunately, wasn't able to stifle John's enthusiasm for his music, though it looks to me as if she certainly tried (see the other thread I just started on "The Two Women Who Raised John").
Yoko was more destructive in this regard, derailing John's life and career not once but twice.
