Legendary record producer and engineer Phil Ramone passed away today at age 79. He was hospitalized last February after suffering an aortic aneurysm. Ramone worked with many greats from Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra to Billy Joel and Bob Dylan. His recording of Dylan's Blood on the Tracks was among Bob's finest sounding albums.

In the early '60s he recorded Dionne Warwick's album Make Way For Dionne Warwick, which contained the hit single and now classic "Walk on By." Though it was intended for AM radio airplay, the stereo recording, live to 2 or 4 track, featuring strings, back up vocals, horns and percussion is truly astonishing.

Go play a Phil album and enjoy his work.
