This Is Pop (2021)

Episode Overview

The Brill Building in New York City is synonymous with pop music, akin to iconic duos like King and Goffin, Leiber and Stoller, or Barry and Kim. During the 1950s and 60s, this hub at 1619 Broadway became a magnet for songwriters, producers, and aspiring stars, all eager to create the next chart-topping sensation. With its numerous small rooms equipped with upright pianos, the Brill Building earned the nickname "song factory," but its true essence thrived on the collaborative spirit that pushed its members to strive for musical excellence.
