Original Title: TIL the 1966 song “River Deep – Mountain High” which was written by Phil Spector, cost a then unheard of $22,000 ($207,000 in 2023), and required 21 session musicians. It was reported that the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson attended the session, where he sat “transfixed” and “did not say a word.”
