Jack Nitzsche (died in 2000):
"While organizing the music for the T.A.M.I. Show television special
in 1964, he met The Rolling Stones, and went on to contribute the
keyboard textures to their mid-sixties hits such as 'Paint It Black',
and the choral arrangements for 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'."

More on Nitzsche from "Turning the Key of the Universe: Jack Nitzsche
Remembered," by Andrew Loog Oldham, manager of the Stones in the 60s:
"There are three keyboard players on those mid-?60s Stones RCA
sessions. If it?s a blues figure, it?s Ian Stewart playing piano (Ian
Stewart was the Ur-Stone who was not to become part of the group). On
a few occasions when it?s slightly strange it might be Brian, but the
rest?all the piano, organ, harpsichord playing?plus the denseness, the
body, the glue?is Jack Nitzsche."
