Carole King, Cynthia Weil and Ellie Greenwich -- who died last week at the age of 68 -- were three of the Brill Building's finest songwriters, and some of the first women to embed themselves in the pop machine.

I have a book "Tin Pan Alley" about the early song writers like Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, etc.

Did you pass your exam on the Brill Building ?? and did you take the test with that stuff on your face ??

[@davidkoval6415]

Fantastic piece on this era!

[@FPGSanctuary]

I love that building!

[@DudeMannn]

Somebody help me on this. As I watched old footage of the Brill Building I realized (I'm guessing) that the street corner of the that building was where the old Colony Record Store was at because I used to shop there all the time and they even had autographed pictures of celebrities for sale. Am I right ?? Is this the same building as the legendary Colony Record Store ?? Help me somebody.

Move on. The first five minutes are commercials; Carol King is mentioned once or twice, so we begin with false advertising; the video goes nowhere and, imo, .the show is focused on the woman who narrates it. And why, I don't know. There are better places to learn about Tin Pan Alley and the Brill Building.
