#Interestingly Robin McNamaraโs stage presence & voice stood out, catching the attention of our pal, hitmaker Jeff Barryโฆ the Brill Building legend signed McNamara to his Steed label. Barry also co-wrote & produced what would become McNamaraโs moment in the pop spotlight. #JeffBarry #OneHitWondered
Jeff Barry & Ellie Greenwich also wrote โBe My Baby,โ โChapel of Love,โ and โLeader of the Pack,โ songs that had their signature sound full of innocent yearning, catchy melody, and emotional punchโฆ pure Brill Building magic. #JeffBarry #EllieGreenwich #OneHitWondered
