  Jeff Barry
Jeff's childhood was unspectacular; he wasn't a rebel, he wasn't a child prodigy (his fondness for cowboy songs notwithstanding), and he certainly wasn't a blueblood.
Jeff breathed new life into these two "baby" songs with fresh and fantastic arrangements, such as a heavy percussive sound he effected in the latter by playing one component of the drum kit at a time (to prevent sound leakage), layering each one on the track like the petals of a flower.
Jeff is a born entertainer and a lot of fun to know, and that dominant sense of fun, not unnoticed by his friends and colleagues, is what has endeared him to so many people.

 LA Weekly - He Can Hear Music
Hardly anyone’s 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.
Barry’s Monkees work also led to a project especially dear to his heart, the Archies, whose bubblegum anthems (including “Sugar, Sugar”) recombined for children the elements that had made his early Phil Spector work special: whimsy, romance, hooks aplenty and a dose of magical gibberish.

In October of 1962, Jeff married Ellie Greenwich, a pretty blonde whom he’d met at a family gathering a couple of years before (her aunt was married to his cousin).
