From 1958 to 1964, New York’s Brill Building became the new hub of professionally written pop music. Numerous teams of talented young songwriters created an astounding number of hit tunes for performers such as the Shirelles and the Drifters.
We’ll take a close look at the history and background of some of the songwriters such as Carole King and Gerry Goffin to see what made them so successful. Then, Charlene and I will perform some of their best songs for you.
