As seen onThe 700 Club! HE WAS THERE!

"Ken Mansfield and I unknowingly shared the experience of the famous Apple rooftop sessionKen was not only working for the Beatles through their heyday, he was also their trusted friend. There is no one better equipped to tell the Beatles' story truthfully—and more important—factually, from the inside." -- Alan Parsons, Alan Parsons Project, Multi-Platinum producer and engineer to the Beatles/Pink Floyd
"Ken Mansfield worked in our offices in London and we crashed at his pad in Hollywood. We all hit it off immediately and he became an instant member of the Apple team. Even the Beatles took to him straight away. He is one of the few insiders left that bore witness to the highs and lows of those insane days when we ruled the world." -- Jack Oliver, former president, Apple Records (1969-1971)
"Ken Mansfield brings us a new and closely personal perspective not only on the Beatles, but on a whole cast of characters. I lived through those Apple years with Ken and we became friends. It is a pleasure to experience so much of it all again through the accuracy of his storytelling and the clarity of his memory." -- Peter Asher, Peter & Gordon/A&R chief, Apple Records/producer-manager (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King)
"Ken has a unique gift. He can take you in the room and you sit with the folk he knows and make you one of the gang, part of the plan. And considering these folk include the Beatles, that is some doing. I respect the affection he has for our game, and what he brought to it will get you." -- Andrew Loog Oldham, manager and producer, Rolling Stones

Ken Mansfield has experienced a life that most people have only read about. He was in the heart and heat of the music industry when it was young and vibrant—back when creativity and passion made the music. A simple young man from the Indian reservation lands in Northern Idaho, Ken found himself propelled into the center of a Rock ‘n’ Roll whirlwind when as a Capitol Records executive the Beatles asked him to be the US Manager of their Apple Record label as well as acting as their personal liaison between the UK and the US. When the Beatles breakup seemed inevitable, he moved on to become a Vice President at MGM Records and then President of Barnaby Records a CBS label owned by Andy Williams. Wanting to fly even higher and faster, he left the corporate world to set up his own company, Hometown Productions Inc., where he produced famous artists of that era such as Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Don Ho, David Cassidy, Claudine Longet, Nick Gilder, The Flying Burrito Bros. and more.
Ken is the author of six books including the top selling The Beatles, The Bible and Bodega Bay (Broadman and Holman) and The White Book (Thomas Nelson). Other titles include, Between Wyomings (Thomas Nelson), Stumbling on Open Ground (Thomas Nelson), Rock and a Heart Place (Broadstreet) and Philco (Post Hill Press). Ken now lives, loves and writes on the beautiful Florida gulf coast with his wife Connie.
