R.I.P.: Don Kirshner

Don Kirshner saw rock n' roll born out of R&B, and he was there as the music grew into a self-indulgent young adult. Kirshner was a music publisher and a television producer. He had a hand in launching Bobby Darin's career and he put the Ramones on network TV. Kirshner died yesterday of heart failure in Boca Raton, Florida, where he lived. He was 76 years old. MORE HERE
