Classic Rock Report: Don Kirshner's In Concert Hits 40

It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from. When music gets in your blood. Barely anyone forgets their first experience with the makers that made your emotions explode. In an age of all that's long forgotten. Music and its mechanics keep poppin...back up. Having a passion for sound once started with diamond tipped needle sliding across a sheet of black vinyl. The bursting outward through huge cabinets called speakers. Collecting albums and 45's...was just part of the treasure. Who better to know that...than Don Kirshner. 40 years ago today. The unquestionable “Man with the Golden Ear,” debuted on ABC. ‘In Concert’ was everything the title suggested. Your music and the birth of new vibrations electrifying every Saturday night at midnight. I sat so close to the TV screen my eyes still see the magic of Don's imagination. His mission in life was to give fans of Classic Rock that extra something. I went to concerts because of Don Kirshner. I leaped out and away from my parent's love for Country music because of Don Kirshner. I'm probably going to hell for liking what he put on display. Don's biggest dream ended up being his greatest disappointment. While alive... he was never inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Listen to the report
