This mix accompanies my book "All Hopped Up and Ready To Go: Music from the Streets of New York 1927-77." It covers the predominantly Brooklyn, Jewish songwriters who in the early 1960s, at the Brill and Music Buildings of midtown Manhattan, helped rewrite the American song book. Includes music by Neil Sedaka, Dion and the Belmonts, and Little Anthony and the Imperials.
