Legendary Songwriter Jeff Barry. Sunset Sound Roundtable

[@Barnaby150]

So humble and wrote the best songs of all time. Thank you for this interview!

[@tomcatt9875]

This guy is a real cool old Brooklyn boy !

[@marclemonmusic]

Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich are probably my favourite American songwriters. Unpretentious, melodious, inspired and inspirational. Great to see the interview, thankyou.

[@xxcelr8rs]

I play this guy's songs every weekend ..Had no idea who wrote "Be My Baby" "And She Kissed Me" Wow "Tell Laura I Love Her" "Baby Please Come Home" This guy is like my favorite songwriter, and I never heard of him! As a songwriter I'm hanging on every word he says.

[@RadioAirchecks]

He's in the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the R&R HOF in a non-performer category.

[@PabloGarcia-sf7bn]

So Much beautiful music. Thank you Jeff Barry. Greetings from New Mexico!

[@stevesizemore6274]

He sure knows about brightening our days with great songs! Mr. Barry, thanks for many fun times listening to your songs.

[@arthurburkhart3710]

KATHIE says….Watching this video absolutely thrilled me! Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich wrote the soundtrack of my life and I will be eternally grateful for their talent!! Thank you for a great video/interview!!

[@johnsampson1096]

Shout out to the pack of Jeff, Ellie, Carol, Gerry, Barry and Cynthia. Six of the best songwriters of all time! Thanks for the insight, Jeff!

[@EugeneL1956]

I was going to post exactly the same thing. What great songwriters they all were.

[@rylieriley]

Freaking awesome! This interview with Jeff Barry is inspirational (for me it is).

[@mprest10]

What a great interview. Love these Sunset Sound podcasts and interviews.

[@sunsetsoundrecorders]

Thanks for listening

[@Barnaby150]

Love this so much, thank you! Wrote some of the most classic songs of all time!

[@luther_beckett]

Great answers on so many topics. What stuck out was his honesty and drive in his craft. He writes what he knows. He has to get it out. It keeps him vital. Standout episode.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

I love hearing about the stories of pop music history! From a guy(me) born in Brooklyn, NY as well who's written songs that definitely will never be as iconic as the ones Mr Barry helped invent.

Fantastic Interview !

[@craigterris2589]

This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard about songwriting. Mind blowing. Also, I think it was Urge Overkill who did the Neil Diamond tune on Pulp Fiction

[@romeowhiskey1146]

Jeff, These 2 hours were a great investment of my time. Found you originally because I thought you were somehow related to John Barry. Searched and discovered this via My Last Trip Home. Robert

“Walk in with a hit, walk out with a hit.” ~Jeff Barry

[@PhatLvis]

Absolute gangster. Barry's oeuvre will never be topped.

[@GT-mq1dx]

Jeff is totally a down to earth guy, great interview.

[@bedroomrockstudios408]

I love to hear the stories behind the songs this man has been around for sure. However diss-ing the Beatles come on dude, I guess it's a matter of opinion and or taste, even envy maybe but they were arguably the greatest 4-some to hit popular music, and influenced everyone. Doo-wop era was just so different, still much respect for the craft and success to Jeff Barry.

[@loganR124]

really appreciate these videos and your interview style!

[@Sweetish_Jeff_]

I’m a huge Beatles fan. They’re my favorite band. I respectfully disagree with Jeff Barry on that, but I have the utmost respect for him as a songwriter. I’m also a huge Monkees fan and love Jeff’s contributions to that band. And, Jeff also wrote the soundtrack to “The Idolmaker”. Brilliant man.

[@johnjaco5544]

The monkees were a joke band

[@chrislancaster7162]

‘Then He Kissed Me’ by The Crystals

[@katiec6935]

Amazing Story

[@stevemineer2857]

Mary Weiss was actually 15 when they recorded Leader of the Pack, not 16.

You may think you know the hits of Jeff Barry (and you probably do)! But his shoulda-been hits number in the dozens and span many years. Here are just a few of them: kzbin.info/aero/PLMguW_cJFaJfNf8N5ENvjqiwnyNsOsXS5

[@chrislancaster7162]

Anyone else immediately go on Spotify for ‘Girl Crush’ by Little Big Town? Just me 😂

[@_leopold_butters_stotch_]

Chappell of love was in Full Metal Jacket not Platoon.

[@spacecheetahband9138]

Looks like Mr.Evan’s was married 7x (according to good old Wikipedia)

[@ramblingsadrift6477]

Never realized Barry has a wee bit of an ego thing..... and has had it his entire life...

[@danielmcginnis7892]

Interesting that he thought Be My Baby bumped the Beatles from #1. Be My Baby was out in August 1963 and the Beatles did not hit it big in America was late December, early January 1964.

[@stevemineer2857]

He seems to have a real problem with the Beatles. Nothing this guy wrote comes close to what the Beatles did.

[@drummerc1795]

Yes and I believe that Be My Baby never reached #1 on the charts. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard charts charts. He also did not correct the interviewer when he said that “then he kissed me” was a Ronettes song as it was a hit by the Crystals.

[@recordguy4321]

the interviewer clearly does not know jack squat. he thinks Ike played on River Dep. LOL Spector had to pay him to use Tina and keep him away.

[@gregmize01]

No one appreciates you saying African American!!!! Good grief!

[@recordguy4321]

HA HA

[@fosbury68]

Cry some more.
