Music producer Kim Fowley - most famous for introducing 15 year old Joan Marie Larkin to Sandy Pesavento and helping them find Cherie Currie and Jacqueline Fuchs (aka Joan Jett, Sandy West, Cherie Currie and Jackie Fox) - thus creating the all-female rock band The Runaways - has died at the age of 75. Having patched up their differences, it was Cherie Currie who cared for him in his last months.

Lita Ford, Fowley and Cherie Currie in 2013
In addition to producing the Runaways first three albums, he also co-wrote "Cherry Bomb" with Joan Jett. Other contributions include songs for the Kiss Destroyer album, as well as "Escape" on Alice Coopers' Welcome To My Nightmare. He also worked with Helen Reddy, The Modern Lovers and Blue Cheer, and co-produced "Alley Oop" for The Hollywood Argyles.
He was the son of film actor Douglas Fowley, probably best known as the frustrated director Roscoe Dexter in Singin' In The Rain.
