Jailed homicidal maniac seeking Phil Spector’s help to make musical career
July 27th, 2009 - 3:41 pm ICT by ANINew York, July 27 (ANI): Charles Manson, a musician-turned-homicidal cult leader who ended up in jail, is keen on making a musical career and is thus seeking help from fellow inmate Phil Spector.
Spector is the legendary music-producer, who is serving 19 years to life for the fatal shooting of actress Lara Clarkson.
His wife, Rachelle Spector has revealed that Phil was recently transferred to Corcoran State Prison in central California, where Manson is housed in a separate wing.
Manson is known for masterminding the savage Tate/LaBianca killings 40 years ago.
Soon after he settled in, “a guard brought Philip a note from Manson, who said he wanted him to come over to his [lockup]. He said he considers Philip the greatest producer who ever lived. It was creepy. Philip didn’t respond,” the New York Post quoted Rachelle as saying.
Manson’s old self-recorded songs have ended up on albums complied by collectors of the macabre and he’s even taped new ones in prison.
Spector’s producing credits include the hits ‘Be My Baby’, ‘Da Doo Ron Ron’ and ‘Unchained Melody’, and The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ album.
“I think Manson wants to glean some musical advice from Phil, who was a ’60s music god with his ‘Wall of Sound’. But Phil’s like, ‘I used to pick up the phone and it was John Lennon or Celine Dion or Tina Turner, and now Charles Manson is trying to get a hold of me!’” said Spector publicist Hal Lifson. (ANI)
