Charles Manson has reportedly reached out to fellow convicted murder, Phil Spector, in hope to collaborate and make music together. Spector was recently moved to Corcoran, the California Substance Abuse and Treatment facility, neighboring Corcoran State Prison where Manson has been held since 1972.

“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,” Spector’s wife Rachelle — a colorful personality who often bickered with the judge during Phil’s murder trials — told Page Six. “It was creepy. Philip didn’t respond.” Added Spector’s publicist Hal Lifson, “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!’ “

This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the Manson Family slayings.

In my opinion Spector is one of the greatest producers (and a good songwriter too) that ever lived. With that said, however, he and Manson as a duet would probably sound like two mutts howling in the night.
