Every time you raised the fader on another microphone, it changed the balance of the other microphones because it was such a small room. It was always quite a job doing a Phil Spector session, trying to keep everything in balance and have it match what Phil had inside his head. The entire tracking process took all three hours of a regular session, a period that A. Local 47 rules stipulated as sufficient for recording no more than four songs; because Spector used the entire three hours for one song, he never ran afoul of union rules.
When they had run the song down a lot of times, they tended to become subservient to the overall sound and meld together better, instead of any one or two instruments sticking out when the musicians were fresh. By the time the sound was where he wanted it, the track would go down in two or three passes. There were all these psychological operations going on at every session. But Phil was always fair to the musicians, and they always got paid.
And so did the studio, which was rare in those days. The lead vocals were done relatively quickly, with Medley and Hatfield singing into separate RCA 77 microphones. The background singers — mainly the vocal group The Blossoms, though Levine remembers that a few passersbys were also pressed into duty — sang into an RCA The lead vocals, however, had their own little back story. According to Levine, Bill Medley had felt from the beginning that the recording was too focused on his voice, at the expense of his partner, Bobby Hatfield, who sang mostly on the choruses.
Medley was ready to scratch the song altogether, a position he maintained even after the song was done. But the producer was having one of his own rare moments of self-doubt. It also entered the Top 10 in the UK chart on an unprecedented three separate occasions. Dionne Warwick took her version to number 16 on the Billboard Hot chart in They recorded from through , and continued to perform until Hatfield's death in Their emotive vocal stylings were sometimes dubbed "blue-eyed soul".
