"I agree...complete surprise. I remember and liked all those too."
Shouldn't be surprised: there were a few song-writing tandems - Lieber/Stoller, Goffin/King, Mann/Weil, and a few others - whose footprints were all over the music scene from 1955-1970.

Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry were one of the most successful Brill Building songwriting-production teams to supply hit compositions to Phil Spector and Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in the early ‘60s:

Sadly we lost Ellie in 2009, Jeff is still active. Together with Phil Spector they pretty much created the “girl group” sound, and they made Neil Diamond a star.
