Barry Mann and Cynthai Weil are the duo responsible for such songs as "You've Lost that Loving Feeling," "On Broadway," "We Gotta Get Out of This Place," "Here You Come Again," "Don't Know Much," and more. The two met when they were both working in the famous songwriting landmark, the Brill Building - Mann as a composer and Weil as a lyricist. The two have been writing ever since. Bobby Vee was one of the big hitmakers of the '60s with such songs as "Devil or Angel," "Take Good Care of my Baby," "The Night has a Thousand Eyes," "Rubber Ball," "Run to Him," and "Come Back When You Grow Up." He got his start at the age of 15 when his band filled in for Buddy Holly at theconcert Holly failed to appear at because of his death in a plane crash.
