British songwriter and record producer Joe Meek was openly gay in a time when homosexuality remained outlawed. Tone deaf, drug addicted, paranoid and obsessed with black magic, Meek was responsible for a string of 1960s chart-toppers including "Have I the Right," "Just Like Eddie," "Johnny, Remember Me" and the groundbreaking "Telstar."
