MUSIC PRODUCER PHIL SPECTOR JAILED FOR MURDERPhil_Spector_album_shot

Legendary music producer and murderer Phil Spector is credited with playing maracas on the track Little by Little on the Rolling Stones first album, released in 1964.

Spector, more a spectator than participant at the recording sessions for the Stones first album, is infamous for the murder about 40 years later, in 1993, of much younger actress Lana Clarkson at his home in California from a gunshot wound through the mouth.

Spector was in 2009 during a second trial found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to 19 years in prison.
