What rock group's 2003 album contains some of the last productions by a record producer later tried and convicted of murder?
Phil Spector Phillip Harvey Spector (born Harvey Phillip Spector, December 26, 1939) is an American record producer, musician, and songwriter who developed the Wall of Sound, a music production formula he described as a "Wagnerian" approach to rock and roll. Spector is considered the first auteur among musical artists for acting not only as a producer, but also the creative director, writing or choosing the material, and masterminding all phases of the recording process. Additionally, Spector helped engender the idea of the studio as its own distinct instrument. For these contributions, he is acknowledged as one of the most influential figures in pop music history. Later in his life, Spector became notorious for his solitary lifestyle and eccentric personality, which was brought to wider notice during the media coverage surrounding his trials and conviction for murder in the 2000s.
