LEVINE, Larry May 8, 1928 - May 8, 2008 He had a distinguished career as a recording engineer. After serving in the Korean War, he worked at Gold Star Recording Studios. He created the Wall of Sound with producer Phil Spector, for 26 straight hit records, as well as the engineer for Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. He earned a grammy award for "A Taste of Honey", was nominated for "Wings", and special effects for "Walking in the Rain". Larry ran the recording studio for A&M Records, and was on the board of Governers of NARAS. After leaving A&M, he engineered Phil Spector's box set, "Back to Mono". Larry recorded the Beach Boys (Pet Sounds), Righteous Brothers (You've Lost That Lovin Feeling), Eddie Cochran, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, and Burt Bacharach. Larry is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Lyn; sons, Rick (Audrey), Rob (Sandy), and Michael; grandchildren, Lindsay, Abe, Matt and Alyssa; sister, Joyce Black (Stanley); nieces, nephews, and many cousins. He was a kind and generous gentleman who was deeply loved and admired, and will be greatly missed. Services will be held at Mount Sinai Mortuary, Monday, May 12th, at 2 p.m.

Every time you spell Smile as SMiLE, an angel's wings are forcibly torn off its body.

I met Larry at several of Phil Spector's birthday parties in the early '00s. He was a joy to talk with... funny and full of great stories. He was not jaded by any experiences. He and his son both admitted that they were baffled at the young people who appreciated his Wall-of-Sound engineering, but Larry appreciated the kinds words.
