Anne and Mark Burnell perform some 1960's classics that came out of New York’s Brill Building, located at 1619 Broadway. The "Brill Building Sound" may be the only subgenre of pop music named for a building ― songs with modern sounds steeped in classic New York "Tin Pan Alley" songwriting. Music producer Don Kirshner put the best and brightest songwriters there, all early ‘60s mainstays, almost all duos: Lieber and Stoller, Goffin and King, Mann and Weil, Bacharach and David, Sedaka and Greenfield. Even if you don't recognize the names, you've heard their songs: "Up on the Roof," "Save the Last Dance for Me," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” The Look of Love," "One Fine Day," and "Laughter in the Rain."
