Amazon Books Shows Artie Kornfeld Still Topping The Charts http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=131906&cat=16
10/21/2009 Father of Woodstock Artie Kornfeld recently released his highly anticipated memoirs titled "The Pied Piper of Woodstock". After only two weeks following the release, his memoirs have jumped up the book charts and have become a classic amongst books highlighting the Woodstock festival as well as 1960's rock and roll culture. Rave reviews from readers and critics alike have resulted in a mass promotion of Kornfeld's book, truly making him the Pied Piper of the Woodstock nation. The book offers a sincere, easy to read, and intimately detailed look into what it was like growing up in the whirlwind of the music culture of the 1960s. Ever since appearing on stage with Dion and the Belmonts and co-writing the U.S. number one hit "The Pied Piper", Artie Kornfeld has been at the center of the rock industry. After becoming the youngest vice president at Capitol Records, Kornfeld had the connections to make the vision of the Woodstock festival a reality. Maintaining the necessary connections to bring the hottest acts of the time, Artie Kornfeld brought the legendary Woodstock performers to a small field in Bethel, New York. As far as the 1969 festival is concerned, Kornfeld had the bands and connections to make it happen. The first vice president of rock music had been involved in the most chart topping songs and events of the time and harvested a strong passion to get the message out. He also convinced Freddy Weintraub, a VP at Warner Brothers at the time, to sign a hand written movie deal for only one day before the festival, resulting in the Academy Award winning documentary which solidified Woodstock's place in history. In fact, Artie is featured in the movie so often due to the fact that he had to convince the musicians to appear in the Warner's film, many of which signed a blank piece of paper constituting a contract. "The Pied Piper" is a brand new look at the Woodstock music festival as never seen before and is an in-depth look into the culture of 60's rock and roll music. With the Woodstock 40th anniversary still in recent memory, readers can relive the festival through the eyes of those closest to the action. Readers are responding strongly to the unique insight being told for the first time as well as delving into his personal life and family legacy. Not since the original Woodstock documentary directed by Michael Wadleigh has so much buzz surrounded a piece of Woodstock media. Even after 40 years, the voice of the Woodstock nation is being heard.
