Jack Nitzsche – “Theme For A Broken Heart” (Reprise) 1963

Written by Jack Nitzsche and Marty Cooper. Produced by Jimmy Bowen.

The b-side of “Rumble”, which reached #91 on the Hot-100 and which was his follow-up to his #39 charting, “The Lonely Surfer”.

Jack, of course, was the arranger and conductor for producer Phil Spector at this time. He went on to have an extensive career in the music and film business until his passing in 2000. The soundtracks for “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” (1975) and “An Officer And A Gentleman” (1982) were but two of the many on which he worked.
