I have tried and failed to read this one a few times, but since I just read a book about some of the girl groups of the 1960’s, and some of the songwriters from that book were featured pretty prominently in this one. So, I gave it a go again and am very glad, I did, because I really enjoyed it.
Not only did this book tell the stories of how the songwriting teams of Mike Lieber and Jerry Stoller, Carol King and Gerry Goffin, Jeff Barry and Elle Greenwich, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, and more, but it also told the stories of the hits.
