Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil – Born To Be Together (The Songs Of Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil) - CD

This new addition to Ace's highly regarded Songwriter series focuses on the husband and wife duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, one of the most respected, most successful and most prolific teams of the modern era. Still together today, Mann and Weil wrote their first hit song in 1961. Although our collection is drawn from their first 10 years together, unlike most of their contemporaries, the couple continued writing hits into the 70s, 80s and 90s. Of the 1000-plus titles in their catalogue, over 100 were hits, amongst them some of the 1960s landmark songs. This collection features some of the stylish pair s best-known compositions - On Broadway , We ve Gotta Get Out Of This Place , You ve Lost That Lovin Feelin , Looking Through The Eyes Of Love - alongside lesser-known gems sung by high-calibre performers such as Scott Walker, the Everly Brothers, Lou Rawls and Dusty Springfield. As usual with Ace CDs, the accompanying booklet features a fulsome track commentary, lavishly illustrated with rare photographs and period ephemera. Compiled and annotated by Mick Patrick with input from Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Best appreciated alongside Ace's previous collection Glitter & Gold - Words & Music by Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil
