Paul Leka & Shelley Pinz

#Interestingly Shelley Pinz already had an idea... She’d written a poem after seeing a street musician busking outside the Brill Building, and she and Paul Leka turned it into the finished single. #PaulLeka #ShelleyPinz #TheLemonPipers #OneHitWondered

Producer Paul Leka

#Interestingly Buddah’s plan for The Lemon Pipers definitely leaned towards bubblegum. They’d brought in Paul Leka as producer… Buddah asked Leka and his Brill Building writing partner, Shelley Pinz, to come up with a song for the band. #PaulLeka #ShelleyPinz #TheLemonPipers #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly Paul Leka co-wrote (with Shelley Pinz) & produced “Green Tambourine” by US #OneHitWonder honorees The Lemon Pipers. The song peaked at #1 the week ending Feb. 3, 1968. #TheLemonPipers #PaulLeka #ShelleyPinz #OneHitWondered
