Producer who revolutionised music in the 1960s with his ‘wall of sound’ dies while serving sentence
Phil Spector, the music producer who changed the sound of pop music in the 1960s with his “wall of sound” recordings and who was convicted of the 2003 murder of a Hollywood actor, has died at the age of 81.
Media reports said he had died after being diagnosed four weeks ago with Covid-19 in prison, where he was serving a 19-years-to-life sentence for the murder of the actor Lana Clarkson.
