It was the banjo, heh? No, it's not Steve Martin.

As a popular singer/songwriter, he was most popular in the early/mid 70s.
 
The banjo and the nose. Plus the fact that many people forget that Steve Martin is an accomplished musician.

Man, I'm stumped. :confused The thing is, I recognize the dude, I really do. Just can't get a handle on who he is.
 
Ok, Roberta Flack recorded a song in response to a song my mystery artist wrote and recorded.
 
OK, as long as we're on the subject of mystery men, this cute little girl grew up to write the quintessential "mystery man" song:
 
I don't know, guys. I thought that was a pretty good hint. Quintessential "mystery man" song. Same time period as Don McLean, early 70's. She's definitely a 70's icon.
 
Oh DUH! I see the face now, after staring at it and age morphing it in my head!

Carly Simon!

"It" wasn't much of a mystery to me. I kinda knew it was Warren Beatty for some time. :yes
 
Now, now, Carly has never admitted that it was Warren, only that it was a "little bit about him". Dick Ebersol paid $50,000 to charity to have Simon whisper the identity in his ear. As per the conditions of the auction, he cannot reveal who the song is about, but could give a clue. The clue was "there is a letter "e" in his name." Since speculation has surrounded Beatty, Kris Kristoffersen, Mick Jagger, Cat Stevens and James Taylor, the hint isn't all that good. Simon has said though that the song isn't about Taylor.

:clap Anyway, ball is in your court Vic!
 
LOL, well I live in the area (NYC)where the "quintessential" FM radio station and music video channel was started. There were certain stories that have been said to leak out at drunken radio and TV promo parties in the very early 80s and were quickly squelched. They made the airwaves for a very brief time and then... nothing. :lol :shrug So, I'll just leave it up to the wheels and cogs behind the revisionist's history machine. ;)

Anyway:

Even though there was no direct affiliation, he had a now famous organization named after him.
 
Another hint before I leave work for home.

He did much good work to identify and later help preserve a particular form of wildlife. Ironically he had to kill his subjects in the process.
 
:-) No.

He was considered a scientist and naturalist by some.
 
Close. Part of the name is correct. ;)

This next clue ought to do it. If not, the next one will.

The conservationist and writer John Burroughs wrote about him.
