Rock producer Phil Spector, who changed the sound of pop music in the 1960s with his 'Wall of Sound' recordings and was convicted of murder for the 2003 murder of a Hollywood actress, has died at age 81 of COVID-19, according to media reports on Sunday.

NEW YORK - Rock producer Phil Spector, who changed the sound of pop music in the 1960s with his “Wall of Sound” recordings and was convicted of murder for the 2003 murder of a Hollywood actress, has died at age 81 of COVID-19, according to media reports on Sunday.

Spector produced 20 top 40 hits between 1961 and 1965 and went on to work with the Beatles, the Righteous Brothers and Ike and Tina Turner. He also influenced artists ranging from the Beach Boys to Bruce Springsteen, who emulated the Spector sound on his classic single “Born to Run.” Spector was diagnosed with COVID-19 four weeks ago and was transferred from his prison cell, where he was serving a 19 years-to-life sentence for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, to a hospital, the Daily Mail newspaper said.

Geez, dude...

Trying to work out which is the least ghoulish of those photos? When watching Scorsese's George Harrison documentary the other day I felt sick when this guy appeared on screen. Hope he died knowing that his fucked up 'Sound' has been stripped from All Things Must Pass?

Come on Reuters, where is the Sideshow Bob picture in your collage of images? R.I.P. - judgement day has come - enjoy the Bardo as the clear light of the void is likely not an option. Could use St Peter metaphor as well. Judge & Jury, not my call.
