| | Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Jack Nitzsche, Composer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Nitzsche and his benefactor, Sonny Bono, eventually co-wrote several songs, including the hit "Needles and Pins", which scored as a chart success 3 times: With original artist Jackie de Shannon, the Searchers in 1964, and a generation later with The Ramones. |
 | | Nitzsche worked at a manic pace through the 60s and 70s, committing himself to Neil Young's band Buffalo Springfield (and later Young as a solo act) while he was working with the Rolling Stones and scoring motion pictures. |
 | | Nitzsche's fortunes and health declined in equal measures during the 1990s, as he suffered the end of his second marriage, reoccurring respiratory ailments, and a resurgence of his substance dependency, which may have contributed to his periods of documented emotional imbalance. |
