Another chance to hear the story of the record producer, who died in March 2013, presented by singer Alison Moyet. Is there a Phil Ramone sound?

Another chance to hear the story of the record producer, who died in March 2013; presented by singer Alison Moyet.

He was known as The Pope of Pop. Bette Midler called him a "giant in the recording world". To Billy Joel, Phil Ramone was "the King. If I hadn't met Phil, I would have had a completely different life".

With specially recorded contributions from Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel and George Michael, this opening programme considers if there is a discernible Phil Ramone Sound.

"We ply our craft deep into the night, behind locked doors. And with few exceptions, the fruit of our labour is seldom launched with the glitzy fanfare of a Hollywood premiere", Phil Ramone.

Written and produced by Malcolm Prince. First broadcast in 2005.
