The Songs of Mann & Weil: 60 Original Classics (3-CD)

by Various Artists

Bargain Audio CDs & Priceless Collection (series)

Mention husband and wife songwriting teams and Gerry Goffin and Carole King will be the first to come to mind. But many believe that Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, the hipsters of the Brill Building set according to respected rock critic Greg Shaw,were more authentic spokespeople for American youth of the early Sixties. Barry and Cynthia, said Shaw, liked to hang around the Greenwich Village scene with poets, beatniks and jazz cats , and gave voice to the new, sometimes disturbing attitudes... they could see spreading out into society. Mann and Weil became giants of American popular song, a fact this collection celebrates 60 times over. Press play and enjoy! CD1 1. Uptown - The Crystals 2. Warpaint - The Brook Brothers 3.
