Not exactly a household name, but if you've listened to any popular music in the last fifty fifty years or so, you've probably heard his influence. Acts he signed/promoted/created etc. ran the gamut from Bobby Darin to The Archies to Kansas, to name just a few. And that's not mentioning his televised concerts, featuring some very big names.

Music impresario Don Kirshner, dubbed the "man with the golden ear" for his talent at sussing out hit songs and musical stars, has died at the age of 76.
