Why is there NO location for a “hit factory” today – OR – if there is, then where is it ???????

Our company was Wemar Music Corp. Some of the songs we published were “I’m Beginning To See The Light” by
Duke Ellington, “Shout” by the Isley Brothers (who were signed to Wemar as staff writers and hundreds of
more classic R&B and Pop songs.

The information you provided in you artcle is not
correct….There was no mentions of any of the great
black songwriters who roamed the halls of the Brill.
Otis Blackwell, Luther Dixon, Charlie Singleton,
Don Covay, Bennie Benjamin, Jimmy Williams, Billy Dawn Smith, to name just a very few, are never mentioned in any way as writers in the Brill.

The only writers you mentioned that were from The Brill Building were Leiber & Stoller, Pomus & Shuman.
Aldon Music and all the great writers signed to them
had nothing I repeat nothing to do with the Brill.

Doc Pomus wrote an article in Billboard many years ago
about this…..He was also very upset by the
injustice done to some of the great black songwriters
of our time. Sincerely…..Stuart Wiener
