The first joint biography of one of rock 'n' roll's greatest song
writing teams, Hitmakers Inc. explores the private lives and public
triumphs of lyricist Doc Pomus and composer Mort Shuman. Between
1958 and 1965, usually working out of Manhattan's famous Brill
Building, they wrote some 500 teen anthems and timeless ballads for
Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, The Drifters, Bobby Darin, Del Shannon
and Andy Williams among others. Polio-stricken ex-blues shouter
Pomus always attracted the press coverage, but after the duo split
junior partner Shuman proved the more colourful of the two, acting
in films, writing musicals, joining the post-Beatles British beat
boom and eventually becoming a chart-topping singer-composer in his
own right in - of all places - France. The story of Doc Pomus and
Mort Shuman, writing together and individually, reveals a personal
dynamic that was both warm and difficult but which at its height
produced songs like 'Teenager In Love', 'Save The Last Dance For
Me', 'Surrender', 'Little Sister', '(Marie's The Name) His Latest
Flame' , 'This Magic Moment' and 'Lonely Avenue'.
