Spector's genius with the productions, besides his deft handling of the instrumental support, was to provide fills with strong doo-wop riffing from an R&B vocal group, The Halos, to produce two classic rock 'n' roll tunes.
Without Spector's guiding hand however, the hits simply dried up around 1968.

Curtis Lee Lyrics
Pretty little angel eyes
Pretty little angel eyes
Pretty little angel, pretty little angel
Pretty little, pretty little, pretty little angel
(Ba bom) oo oo, oo oo (ha ha ha ha)
Oo oo, pretty, pretty, pretty little angel eyes
Angel eyes, I really love you so
Angel eyes, I'll never let you go
Because I love you, my darlin' angel eyes
(Pretty, pretty, pretty little angel eyes)
Angel eyes, you are so good to me
And when I'm in your arms you be so heavenly
You know I love you, my darlin' angel eyes
(Angel eyes, bom bom bom bom)
I know you were sent from Heaven above
To fill my life with your wonderful love
I know we'll be happy for eternity
'Cause I know
That our love is really real
Angel eyes, I really love you so
Angel eyes, I'll never let you go
Because I love you, my darlin' angel eyes (angel eyes)
Pretty little angel eyes
Pretty little angel eyes
Pretty little angel, pretty little angel
Pretty little, pretty little, pretty little angel
(Pretty, pretty, pretty)
(Angel eyes) angel eyes, I really love you so
Angel eyes, I'll never let you go
Because I love you
My darlin' angel eyes
(Pretty, pretty, pretty little angel eyes)

Curtis Lee was a friend. 1959-60. I was playing bass in a band, The Ramrods, at The La Jolla Club in Tucson, where Ray Peterson had just closed a one week run as guest star. Andy Gaydos, the sax player, and I talked owner, Al Winecke, into bringing Curtis out from Hollywood. Andy and I drove all night after Saturday night's show and picked him up and drove back to Tucson. Fortunately, Peterson and his manager Stan Schulman had not yet left town. We went to their motel and told them about Curtis and invited them to our Monday night show. We barely had time to discuss what songs we would play much less rehearse. We played a set then brought him to the stage. Not only was Curtis a great singer but he had THE LOOK. Great hair, muscular build, captivating smile, and moves that were as unique as Presley's. Shulman and Peterson were blown away and invited him to New York to record and build his act. He did a couple rock and roll bus tours but decided it wasn't his thing. We called him from California during Christmas and he sounded very lonely in his New York hotel room and wished he was back on the west coast. I just read that he had passed. I was intending to go to Yuma this winter to hang out with him for a while. I guess we shouldn't put off the important things. Kenny Laursen

Many many years ago I used to go to a delicatessen for a quart of milk and a stacked ham sandwich and the girl behind the counter told me that I had bedroom eyes. I was too young and stupid to know she was hitting on me.
