NY. 1967. Specimen. 100 shs, common stock, blue. Kirshner Logo. Facsimile signature of Don Kirshner, famous early rock and roll empresario. Don Kirshner was quite possibly one of the ten most successful and wealthiest men in the entertainment industry for much of the '60s and '70s. As the head of first Aldon Music, then Screen Gems Publishing, Kirshner employed some of the best writers in the business. In May 1958, Aldon Music was born. Among the first writers to be signed by Aldon were Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. The duo wrote Aldon's first big hit, "Stupid Cupid" by Connie Francis (# 14 in the US, # 1 in the UK). Soon Aldon signed Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Jack Keller and several other writers. Kirshner was instrumental in the creation of the Monkees (1966) and the Archies (1969), both highly manufactured, but hugely successful groups, both on record and on TV. It was the success of the Archies that gave Krishner enough capital to launch Kirshner Entertainment Corporation. After the Archies ran their course, Kirshner formed Don Kirshner Productions in 1972 to produce "Don Krishner's Rock Concert". Rare early rock music certificate. SCBNC. XF.
