Music producer Phil Spector was legendary for his work with Tina Turner, the Ronettes, the Beatles.

But certainly his greatest feat would seem to be having a new CD appear this summer proclaiming him as producer while he sits in Corcoran State Prison, where he is serving a sentence of 19 years to life for the second-degree murder of struggling actress Lana Clarkson.

The new CD is the work of his wife, fledgling singer Rachelle Spector -- and it was produced before her husband went to prison last year.

Rachelle, who is 29 (30 next month) met her husband, who is 70, at Dan Tana’s, the old-style Italian restaurant and bar hangout. They met just months after Clarkson died of a gunshot wound in the producer’s Alhambra mansion.

Rachelle said she had no clue about his fame -- or his infamy -- that night.

"Pretty much from the time we met until the time he was taken away from me," she said referring to the April 2009 conviction that sent him to prison, "we were inseparable."

Never doubting his innocence, she says, she married him in September 2006. The two worked on her CD, she said, between that year and 2009, a period that Spector spent mostly free on bail. His first trial ended in a hung jury in 2007 before he was convicted after his second trial.

"It took a lot longer than anticipated because the trial took precedence over everything," Rachelle said.

"It was fun," she said of the recording sessions. "It was his outlet. It was his escape back to his roots."
