  The Official Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil Web site
Cynthia Weil, together with her husband, composer Barry Mann, is one of the few outstanding creators of American popular music – crafting countless hits and some of the most influential and beloved pop songs in a career that has spanned four decades.
Weil began her career working at Don Kirshner's Aldon Music – part of the legendary Brill Building where songwriters dominated the pop charts and raised the bar for the American pop song.
The hits are impressive, but Weil's accomplishments as a whole must be acknowledged to truly understand the magnitude and scope of her career.

 BMI.com | Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil: A Songwriting Team for the Ages
While many of their contemporaries have focused on writing only pop songs or only r&b tunes, Mann and Weil have consistently proven themselves adept at working in a wide range of styles, often working with other songwriters either alone or as a team.
Weil began her career as an actress and dancer, but, encouraged by famed composer Frank Loesser, soon began pursuing songwriting as a career.
Even after their many successes over the years, the team is hardly slowing down: In addition to songwriting, Mann and Weil are currently working on two Broadway projects: one based on their amazing catalog of songs, and Mask, an original rock musical based on the 1985 film.

Weil, a lyricist, worked with songwriter Teddy Randazzo before meeting Mann, a burgeoning staff writer at Don Kirshner's Aldon Music who ended up scoring a hit as a performer with the 1961 novelty record "Who Put the Bomp..." and hit the Top 100 with a few other singles.
Though she was not a musician, and as such often felt uncomfortable around the Aldon staff, for her own part Weil was a lyricist of exceptional depth and understanding.
Weil addressed the inconsistencies of class within America on such songs as "On Broadway," a song made famous by the Drifters that has since become a standard.
