It's a real shame that he was a wife and child-beater, because he had an amazing voice, but I won't listen to him.
Really. I didn't know that. Amazing sound for how old it is though. Do you listen to any of Phil Spector's work?
By default, yes. I don't seek out his productions.
This thread is raising a very interesting question. How much should personal behavior of an artist (or composer) affect whether we listen to his or her music? From my read of music history there were plenty of quite nasty people whose music is beloved by many. On the other hand, there are, I am sure, many wonderful people in their personal lives whose music is not very good. A couple of the nasties come to mind whose music for me overcomes their great personal failings. They are Beethoven and Debussy. You can read about their personal lives in wiki.
