Everybody's Talking
About Phil Ramone

Marilyn Bergman
Phil’s musicianship, his tastes and his diplomacy make him the perfect producer. To look through the glass and to see him sitting at the console puts every writer and artist at ease.

Bono
He brought Frank Sinatra and myself together in cyberspace … for that I will always be grateful. In common with the “Chairman of the Board," he is tough enough to be a gentleman too.

Emilio and Gloria Estefan
To us, Phil represents everything a human being should be. He is such a great soul and a great friend. He treats everyone equally. Musically, he is one of our heroes. We are very fortunate to have Phil Ramone as a role model for future producers and musicians.

Quincy Jones
The reason that Phil is one of the best producers in the business is because he is an innovative, enthusiastic and inquisitive visionary with a young mind and is interested in absolutely everything.

BB King
Phil Ramone gave me the courage to do anything I wanted to try to do. In fact he had so much patience with me... after awhile, I thought I was doing really good.

Liza Minnelli
From “Liza With a‘Z’” right through to “Liza’s Back” Phil has been my teacher, my outlaw (who believes nothing is impossible), my inspiration, my dear darling friend and my constant hero.

Diane Schuur
Phil Ramone gave me more freedom than any other producer has up to this point.

Carly Simon
His temperament is what unnerves me. It's actually even. In the studio, in the face of annoying technical delays, in the face of hard to please record company executives, after a disappointing delicatessen delivery. We all know how talented he is, but just in case you didn't know, Phil is a very good sport.

Peter Yarrow
Phil Ramone is the most gifted producer I know. His absolute belief in talent and musicianship, and respect for the artist, brings a whole other aura to the studio. It’s personal and supportive and elicits the best from all of us.
