Kim Vincent Fowley Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Kim Vincent Fowley (born July 21, 1939) is an American record producer, singer and musician. He is best known for his role behind a string of novelty and cult pop rock singles in the 1960s, and for managing The Runaways in the 1970s. In addition he is credited with being the inspiration behind promoter John Brower's call to John Lennon that resulted in the last minute appearance of The Plastic Ono Band at The Toronto Rock and Roll Revival on September 13, 1969 where Fowley was the emcee. At this event Fowley also created the iconic experience of having the audience light matches and lighters to welcome a nervous John Lennon to The stage. This became and continues today as a cliché tradition in rock and roll world-wide with fans using cell phones now. He has been described as "one of the most colorful characters in the annals of rock & roll" and as "a shadowy cult figure well outside the margins of the mainstream." | Full Name | Kim Fowley |
