Biography
Kornfeld was born in 1942 into a Jewish lower-middle-class family in Brooklyn, New York, United States.[5][6]
In his early teens, when his family had moved to North Carolina, he got a job at the Charlotte Coliseum selling soda pop so he could catch acts such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Fats Domino.[7]
He later attended Adelphi College and American University where he would further his music career.[8]
By 1966, Kornfeld had written over 75 Billboard charted songs and participated in over 150 albums.[9] In 1969, Kornfeld left Capitol Records to co-create The Woodstock Music & Arts Festival, with Michael Lang .[10][11]
