Phil Spector,
Harvey Phillip Spector (born December 26, 1939)[1] is an American record producer and songwriter whose fame reached its height in the early 1960s.
The originator of the "Wall of Sound" production technique, Spector was a pioneer of the 1960s girl group sound and clocked in over twenty-five Top 40 hits between 1960 and 1965. In later years he worked with such artists as Ike and Tina Turner, John Lennon, George Harrison and the Ramones with similar success, including production work on the Academy Award winning Let It Be and Grammy Award winning Concert for Bangladesh soundtracks. In 1989, Spector was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a non-performer.
The 1965 song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", produced and co-written by Spector for the The Righteous Brothers, is listed by BMI as the song with the most U.S. air play in the 20th century.[2]
The 2003 shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson in his Alhambra, California home led to his being charged with murder in the second degree. His first trial ended in a mistrial; his second trial resulted in a conviction of second degree murder on April 13, 2009.[3]

Richard I of England.
Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 April 1199) was King of England from 6 July 1189 until his death in 1199.
He also ruled as Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, Lord of Ireland, Lord of Cyprus, Count of Anjou, Count of Nantes and Overlord of Brittany at various times during the same period. He was known as Richard the Lionheart, or Cœur de Lion, even before his accession, because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior.[1] [nb 1]
At age 16, Richard was already commanding his own army, putting down rebellions in Poitou against his father, King Henry II.[2] Richard was a central Christian commander during the Third Crusade, effectively leading the campaign after the departure of Philip Augustus, and scoring considerable victories against his Muslim counterpart, Saladin.[3][4]
While he spoke very little English[5] and spent very little time in his Kingdom, preferring to use it as a source of revenue to support his armies,[6] he was seen as a pious hero by his subjects.[7] He remains one of the very few Kings of England remembered by his epithet, not number, and is an enduring, iconic figure in England.[6]
