Sange af brill building sangskrivning teams var typisk omkring?
Hver dag klemte vi os ind i vores respektive rum med lige nok plads til et klaver, en bænk og måske en stol til sangskriveren, hvis man var heldig. Man sad der og skrev, og så kunne man høre nogen i det næste bås, der komponerede en sang præcis som ens egen. Presset i Brill Building var virkelig fantastisk - fordi Donny (Kirshner) spillede den ene sangskriver ud mod den anden. Han sagde: "Vi har brug for et nyt hit" - og så gik vi alle tilbage og skrev en sang, og næste dag skulle vi alle til audition for Bobby Vees producer.
Every day we squeezed into our respective cubby holes with just enough room for a piano, a bench, and maybe a chair for the lyricist if you were lucky. You'd sit there and write and you could hear someone in the next cubby hole composing a song exactly like yours. The pressure in the Brill Building was really terrific—because Donny (Kirshner) would play one songwriter against another. He'd say: "We need a new smash hit"—and we'd all go back and write a song and the next day we'd each audition for Bobby Vee's producer.
