Don Kirshner (April 17, 1934 – January 17, 2011): The Man With the Golden Ear
RIP DON.
I am fortunate to get to photograph the music giants of today often.  However, it is much more rare that I get to photograph the legends of yesterday. One legend that I was able photograph was The Man with the Golden Ear: Don Kirshner.  Being a bit too young to have been a fan of The Archies,  The Monkees or Bobby Darin in there day, I became a fan while in the back seat of my parents car as we drove all over South Florida listening to  FM 102.7 the oldies.  I can still see myself seeing along to “ I’m a believer.”
I photographed Mr. Kirshner near his home in Boca Raton a few year back for a story that ran in the Washington Post. Â I remember him being a real pleasure and easy to photograph. Â In between setup he filled the time with some amazing stories from his days in the music industry. Even in his 7o’s he was full of spunk!!! Â RIP.
