BEHIND THE GLASS - THE PHIL RAMONE STORY
21.30-22.00 6 parts starting Tuesday 14th June

Phil Ramone
Listen Again to this show
This show will be available to hear again for 7 days after transmission via
the BBC Radio Player.

A new series exploring the life and work of Phil Ramone presented by Alison Moyet.

What do the following classic albums have in common: Paul Simon's Still Crazy After All These Years, Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, Billy Joel's The Nylon Curtain and Frank Sinatra's Duets? They, like over two hundred other albums, have all been produced, engineered or mixed with the expert touch of Phil Ramone.

Ramone is one of the most respected and prolific music producers in the recording industry. In this in-depth profile he recalls the most significant creative collaborations of his forty year career, explains and demystifies the recording process, and considers the future for the marriage of music and technology.

Featuring two newly recorded interviews with the producer himself, Behind The Glass also boasts a wealth of new interviews with: Quincy Jones, Billy Joel, George Michael, Paul Williams, Tony Bennett, Liza Minnelli, Natalie Cole, Elton John, Hugh Jackman, Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Diane Schuur, Kenny Loggins, Wynona Judd, Clive Davis, Peter, Paul and Mary, Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Paul Shaffer, Fred Bronson, and Phil Ramone's family.

Rich in music, the Phil Ramone story is as much about the production of popular music as the story of the producer behind it.
