Revolutionary music producer Phil Spector was given a sentence of 19 years to life in prison on Friday for the murder of Hollywood actress Lana Clarkson, 40 years of age, in 2003.
Spector, 69, is responsible for the 60’s layered “Wall of Sound” production technique, a dense, layered, and reverberant sound created by having a number instruments play the same parts in unison, by adding an orchestra to arrangements, and by using an echo chamber.
