My mom and my husband alerted me to the death of the mad genius, Phil Spector, who died in prison on Sunday at the age of 81. He was serving a sentence for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson. Super creepy guy but such a huge influence on popular music. Here's one of the greatest songs he had a hand in, "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes, featuring future wife Ronnie Spector. A perfect example of his "Wall of Sound."
