How The Mighty Have Fallen
In a quick bit of news, legendary record producer Phil Spector was convicted of second-degree murder yesterday, for the 2003 murder of 40-year old actress Lana Clarkson. The 68-year old Spector could receive an 18-year sentence, meaning his famous Wall Of Sound production style is probably gone for good. Spector was the eccentric genius behind many hit songs of the 60s and 70s, including works by the Ronettes, the Righteous Brothers, Ike and Tina Turner, John Lennon and the Ramones. He was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1989 as a non-performer.
