Songwriter Jeff Barry Wrote Hits as a Lovesick Teen

Jeff Barry, 84, is a songwriter-producer who has written and co-written several dozen Billboard hits, including “Be My Baby,” “Leader of the Pack” and “I Honestly Love You.” He appears in “Spector,” the four-part Showtime documentary on producer Phil Spector. He spoke with Marc Myers. The first records I owned were swing-era 78s given to me by my cousins. They also gave me a hatbox-size portable phonograph that had a stylus like a nail. As I played the records over and over in the room I shared with my mother and sister, I conducted, pretending I was the bandleader.
Perhaps most notably, this Showtime docuseries gives near-equal time to victim Lana Clarkson, including how the media posthumously denigrated her. “Phil Spector very much saw himself as a victim of all kinds of things,” says Vikram Jayanti, who interviewed the producer for a BBC documentary. Spector’s attorneys fueled that by playing a reel of her appearances in movies like “Barbarian Queen” in court, which, some observers noted, merely served to humanize her. “What a horrible fate for a legend,” says Paul Shaffer, David Letterman’s band leader and one of Spector’s friends. “Spector” premieres November 4 on Showtime’s streaming service and November 6 at 9 p.m.
