He won't be remembered  for his work only the murder he commited

Same as the late Sir Jimmy Saville, he was remembered (Removed by moderator, inappropriate comment), not for his Charity work and other good stuff he did.

@MrAllen1976 its a shame in one way but they made there bed and went the wrong way when I saw his name I only thought of the murder not his work

Yes I accept that Spector committed murder but he was serving his time, that for me doesn't detract from the fact that he was a musical genius, Saville on the other hand was just a monster.

@woodbine I put it on face book this morning thats why I said most people remember him for murder more than his work  when a man murders a woman it all goes out the window 

woodbine

I don't think i'll get into this or yet another argument.

@woodbine its only a comment  I personally think its a shame he was good

It's a shame he committed murder and I feel sorry for the victim and their families, who we should not forget.
But he did in his time create the sound of a generation. Music millions still listen to and always will and today many musicians still use his methods to help with what they create.
Its a shame he went crazy and did what he did.
