One of the most influential music producers of the 20th century, Spector worked with everyone from The Beatles and John Lennon to the Ramones and Celine Dion, as well being the driving force behind many era-defining songs. (NME)
“Spector collaborated with many of the greats including The Beatles individually and as a band — producing ‘Let it Be’ and ‘Imagine’ – The Righteous Brothers, Leonard Cohen and The Ronettes, and also wrote numerous era-defining songs.”
Phil Spector has died at the age of 81, while serving a prison sentence for murder on January 16, 2021.
An official description of the docuseries reads: “In the early hours of February 3rd, 2003, a 911 call was placed to the Alhambra, California Police Department reporting the fatal shooting of a woman. The location, an eccentric French chateau style mansion known as The Pyrenees Castle, was the home of legendary music producer Phil Spector. The woman was Lana Clarkson, a charismatic and once prolific film actress who he had met just that night.
“How did the destinies of these two people become intertwined? And what actually happened on that fateful night?
“Through the lens of this notorious crime and the hysterical media circus that followed, this major four-part documentary series peels back the layers to tell the story both of Clarkson and the man who was convicted of her murder.
Short and the "Wall of Sound" creator wed on September 1, 2006, while he was awaiting trial. They split in 2016, and he claimed Rachelle was bleeding him dry by spending money on lavish items like planes and homes.
Among the valuables found there is also a guitar by John Lennon: Spector contributed to the Beatles album "Let it be" and later collaborated with the singer on solo albums such as "Imagine" and "Instant karma". Along with the guitar there is also a handwritten letter from Yoko Ono.
And then jewelry, watches and even a pair of cufflinks with diamonds that were given to him by none other than Elvis Presley. The memorabilia, as TMZ reports, are currently in the hands of his daughter, Nicole Spector. It is not known whether they will be sold at auction.
