Don Kirshner’s name has come along with artists like Prince, Lionel Richie, Ozzy Osborne and the Eagles, for he has helped them in a very special way to reach success, especially when they were initially struggling in the industry. He was the man who gave many young and talented musicians an opportunity to become somewhere special in their life.

He is also known as the Man with a Golden Ear, for he knew a musician’s talent only by listening to them. Kirshner had started his career in the music industry as a song writer, and he later became famous as he published them. The entire music industry will be missing him as he has contributed virtually a lot from his side, especially by lifting many musicians and artists within America to touch the feet of success.

RIP!!!
