Description
Born to Be with You is the fourteenth solo studio album by Dion, released in October 1975. Six of the eight tracks were produced by Phil Spector, who admired Dion's earlier work with Dion and the Belmonts.
After its completion in 1974, Spector shelved the album for twelve months, and it was largely met with indifference by the music industry upon release. However, it gained widespread critical acclaim in the 1990s, with artists like Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream citing it as a key influence.
The album is included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
The recording sessions were lengthy and chaotic, often affected by Spector's drinking and unpredictable behavior. Bruce Springsteen and Miami Steve visited the studio during these sessions. After completion, Dion disowned the record, stating that the production made it sound like "funeral music.
