I won't bother posting a link to Phil Spector's death announcement. All the media sources reported that he died of natural causes in prison at age 81. He was best known for the Wall of Sound recording technique, enriching and embellishing the background sound to a recording. Wall of Sound - Wikipedia

Phil Spector, record producer and convicted killer dead at 81

Phil Spector's cause-of-death was officially listed as COVID-19. This morning the Los Angeles Times had a large, collaboratively written obituary which graphically details his genius and brushes with violence over the decades before his killing of Lana Clarkson.

What is never attempted to be explained are the reasons which caused such rage and volatility. In the wake of Clarkson's murder I heard a well-known media psychologist, one who had never had Phil Spector as a patient, say he was haunted by a sense of physical inferiority and a fear of female rejection.

When my husband heard the news he said "Thank God."

Apparently he was one of the creepiest people that my husband ever met in the industry. Deranged genius, I guess.
