Had to laugh, really, at this quote from Alan Hazan (producer of some of Dora's records). You can imagine it....
In any event, the music background really turned out well and all the musicians were anxious to discover who the singer would be. I could see the disappointment on their faces when Ms. Hall walked into the studio and took her place behind the vocal mike. Jack Nitzsche looked especially disappointed. We had really come up with a terrific background recording and now, everyone felt it would probably be for nothing. Since I knew from the beginning who was going to sing the songs, I simply continued my work as the producer of the session. After the musicians left, I spent a couple of hours getting the best I could from the lady. In a way I admired Ms. Hall for having the courage to follow her dream no matter what and, as far as I was concerned, her husband had hired me to do a job and I was doing it. That's why it's called the music business.
BTW: The musicians involved were 'The Wrecking Crew'.
