Finest moment in his career? I love that song, but I think my favorite is "RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH."
#1 RIVER DEEP,MOUNTAIN HIGH--Tina Turner
#2 CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME)--Darlene Love
#3 THEN HE KISSED ME--The Crystals
#4 BE MY BABY--Ronettes
#5 UNCHAINED MELONY--Righteous Brothers
I think the critics -- and Phil -- have convinced us over the years that liking "River Deep Mountain High" best is the "smart" thing to do.
But all you has to do is listen to "Be My Baby" and the truth is as plain as day!
