LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Kim Fowley, legendary music producer and songwriter, died at his home Thursday at the age of 75 from terminal bladder cancer.
Fowley was the producer of The Runaways, a band that launched frontwoman Cherie Currie's career. Currie and Fowley had a falling out after she reportedly tired of Fowley's tough and reportedly abusive managing style.
