master of the Panpipe

I'd like to correct that major oversite I mean since the man has sold more records than the Beatles, Elvis, U2, Oasis and Molly Hatchet combined





From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamfir

Largely through the numerous television commercials for his albums, he introduced the pan flute to a modern audience and revived it from obscurity. He has made many albums of pan flute music, and his song "The Lonely Shepherd" is featured in Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill Vol. 1. In the television series King of the Hill's episode "Propane Boom", Zamfir was suggested as a corporate spokesman to rival Mega Lo Mart's Chuck Mangione. Arguably, his most famous contribution was to the soundtrack for the classic Australian film Picnic at Hanging Rock. He was also asked by Ennio Morricone to perform the pieces "Childhood Memories" and "Cockeye's Song" for the soundtrack of Sergio Leone's classic gangster film Once Upon A Time In America (1984).
