Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread "I never even knew how much I wanted you," she said His muscles they were numbered and his style was obsolete "O baby, I have come too late.

One of the most controversial partnerships in either man's career was inaugurated the day Leonard Cohen and Phil Spector decided to make an album together. In the course of just three weeks together, the pair had written 15 new songs, described by Spector as "some great f ckin' music. And though the recording took somewhat longer, Death of a Ladies' Man still emerged as an album that, while it certainly lives up to Spector's billing, can also be viewed as the most challenging record of both Cohen and Spector's careers.

It goes without saying that Death of a Ladies’ Man is a strange album. Inherently the pairing of the soft-singing, minimalistic poet, with the indulgent and notably overbearing producer would make for a bizarre outing.

As can be expected from such a drastic creative turn; the reception for this album on its release was not warm. Death of a Ladies Man is a truly bizarre album, but it is not without some moments of great lyrical and musical beauty.
