R.I.P. Don Kirshner

Songwriter and rock producer Don Kirshner has died of heart failure on Monday at the age of 77 in Boca Raton, Fla. Kirshner wrote "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and managed songwriting talent including Neil Sedaka, Carole King, Howard Greenfield and many others, providing songs for The Monkees' TV program in the 1960's, including "I'm a Believer."

Over the course of his career, Kirshner became known as "The Man With the Golden Ear" for his ability to spot a hit. The industry has lost a legend.
