Phil Spector, famed music producer and murderer, dies at 81

LOS ANGELES -- Phil Spector, the eccentric and revolutionary music producer who transformed rock music with his “Wall of Sound” method and who later was convicted of murder, has died. He was 81.Spector was convicted of murdering actress Lana Clarkson in 2003 at his castle-like mansion on the edge of Los Angeles. After a trial in 2009, he was sentenced to 19 years to life.

Until the actress’ death, which Spector maintained was an “accidental suicide,” few residents even knew the mansion belonged to the reclusive producer, who spent his remaining years in a prison hospital east of Stockton. He was the rare self-conscious artist in rock’s early years and cultivated an image of mystery and power with his dark shades and impassive expression.

The Wall of Bad Rug.

lellingw I'm happy, only, that Ronnie got out. He was a genius for his talent.

Ugh!

The 'fine people on both sides' network has logged on.

Me reading the comments in my “Phil Spector trial wig”.

You mean this POS wasn't already dead?

Many who worked with Phil Spector said he was an asshole. Not only was he a murderer but his shitty “wall of sound production” was a glossy front as he stole from many girl groups and ruined careers.

Only white people in the news can flex job titles first. While being a CONVICTED MURDERER is water downed.

Bye 👋🏽

Why report this? Why would anyone care one wit?

stop glamorizing criminals. this is not breaking news.

He lived a long life, can't be said of his victim Lana Clarkson, 40 years young.

Odd bird but a true cultural influence. Sad the end of his years were tragic. Hopefully he’ll be remembered for his contributions to the American songbook.

No one gives a shit 🤷‍♂️

LANA CLARKSON ASSHOLES!! Not 'an actress'. Fucking disgusting.

Her name was Lana Clarkson SayHerName

He did help produce “All Things Must Pass” and “Imagine”

BYE WIG

Let’s fix this headline: Phil Spector, murder, producer who stole Darlene Love’s voice for his biggest hits, died at 81

Revolutionary murderer?

No one needs to know. He’s a murderer ! He’s gone. NO ONE CARES

Who cares? He gets a wooden casket and marker like all the other inmates that die in prison.

😑And no, the producer already LOOKED LIKE THAT before COVID19. 🤔 rip

Breaking: Phil Spector, murderer convicted of shooting actress Lana Clarkson to death in his home, died in prison. Good riddance. Fixed it!

Sick fuck who, for a time, had an ear for music has died. That seems more appropriate

He's still a sadistic murderer and abuser. Let's not 'celebrate' him. Even McCartney has removed the Wall of Sound from Beatles recordings because it was ridiculous.

He was a murderer, he was crazy, but God he was brilliant. The most recognizable opening of any song in that decade.

I MET HIM ON A MONDAY AND MY HEART STOOD STILL DA DO RON RON DA DO RON RON

Is this a weird In Memorium or something? What are we doing here? What is this?

I feel like murderer should come *before* revolutionary music producer?

RIP convicted wrongfully.

What a headline

RIP

And?

Hell of a headline

I thought he was already dead.... whoops
