Phil Spector gained fame for his "wall of sound" recording technique which transformed popular music, but he died a convicted murderer, serving 19 years to life in a California prison.

His production methods appeared on a host of chart-topping records and influenced some of music's biggest names like The Beatles, Leonard Cohen and The Ramones.
