First up, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, the husband/wife songwriting team whose early careers in the Sixties are also portrayed in this new show, join co-hosts Michael Riedel and Susan Haskins at the piano to discuss how they came together to write some of the great standards of pop music, a few of which Mann then performs.

It was actually George Benson singin On Broadway in All That Jazz, not Ben Vereen.

Can't wait to see this. I saw a musical version of "Mask" by Weil & Mann at the Pasadena Playhouse a few years ago. It got not great reviews but I thought it was really good and showed a lot of promise. I think the critics were really unfair.

The very ideal of a male/female creative collaboration. I hope Barry’s doing OK without his collaborator/partner. He’s got a mountain of beautiful memories and achievements with his soulmate to reflect on. Well done Cynthia and Barry.
