Episode 2
Barry Manilow is back with episode two of his new series, this time highlighting the work of songwriting teams Carole King and Gerry Goffin and Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.
Barry looks at four of the songwriters who occupied the famous Brill building in New York.
Carole King and Gerry Goffin & Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil were often competing to write songs for the same recording artists. Their colleagues in the building were doing the same – people like Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Neil Diamond, Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. Barry looks at Goffin and King & Mann and Weil’s astonishing output, songs like ‘Take Good Care of My Baby’; ‘On Broadway’, ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow’ and ‘We’ve Gotta Get Outta This Place’ and traces how their partnerships grew and developed, both personally and in their song-writing, over the years.
