Barry Mann (born Barry Imberman on February 9, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) … Read Full Bio ↴Barry Mann (born Barry Imberman on February 9, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American songwriter, and part of one of the most prolific songwriting partnerships in the world of rock music.
With his partner and wife, Cynthia Weil, they operate a publishing company called Dyad Music. His first hit as a writer was "She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)," which was a top twenty song for The Diamonds in 1959. Mann had co-written the song with Gerry Goffin. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil met when they were both staff songwriters, they were married in 1961. Through the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Mann came up with songs such as "Sometimes When We Touch" and movie scores such as that for I Never Sang for My Father. Weil co-wrote "He's So Shy" with Tom Snow for The Pointer Sisters and worked on projects with Lionel Richie.
In 1961, they wrote and Mann sang a novelty song that made the Top 10 with "Who Put The Bomp", which parodied the nonsense words of the then-recently popular doo wop songs.
In 1987, he was inducted with his wife into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

I would suggest No.8 or No.10. Their both wonderful songs!

He wrote the song with his wife Cynthia Weil. He wrote a load of hits in the 60's. He's the master, YIPIEEE! Thanks for your heavenly way of comment songs,Angel. That's the sad news of today brought to you by your newsman , THUNDER-MAN!

Please,be free to play that No.9,but remember it might brought up some sad memories from the past! Sweet dreams and keep the fingers at a safe distance from No.9! Otherwise you may have some difficulties to fall in sleep!

I think almost half of his songs were written with another composer. I've already uploaded the Eva song,that's a real bopper! Hope you're all right? All the best fromMr.NEWSMAN! Or PAUL or whatever.
