| | LA Weekly - He Can Hear Music |
 | | Hardly anyoneâs heard of Jeff Barry, and yet his rhythms are in our blood; his sounds, sensibilities and worldview are part of our collective DNA. |
 | | Barry co-invented the girl-group sound and phenomenon, writing and/or producing for the Ronettes, the Exciters, the Dixie Cups, the Crystals and the Shangri-Las. |
 | | Barryâs Monkees work also led to a project especially dear to his heart, the Archies, whose bubblegum anthems (including âSugar, Sugarâ) recombined for children the elements that had made his early Phil Spector work special: whimsy, romance, hooks aplenty and a dose of magical gibberish. |
