The article goes further than the headline, actually claiming (erroneously) that Kirshner wrote "Lovin' Feelin'." I don't believe Kirshner had any songwriting credits of his own... although I haven't checked the online ASCAP and BMI databases to verify that. I never actually saw "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" - I was eight years old when it started, and it was on way past my bedtime. But I do remember Paul Shaffer's very funny impression of him on SNL. As with Dan Aykroyd's impression of Tom Snyder, more people saw the SNL parody than saw the real thing. Paul learned his impression the hard way - Kirshner was co-executive producer of "A Year at the Top," Paul's ill-fated CBS sitcom. -Tim -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
