Legend Jeff Barry recently made himself at home in BMI’s Nashville office, where he and artist/songwriter Rebecca Lynn Howard met for two day-long co-writing sessions. A BMI songwriter and producer whose oeuvre carries dizzying significance, Barry is American music, personified. Often working with Phil Spector, Barry and former wife Ellie Greenwich composed classics including "Da Doo Ron Ron," "Then He Kissed Me," "Be My Baby," “Do Wah Diddy Diddy,” "Chapel of Love," "Leader of the Pack," “River Deep-Mountain High” and so many more. The pair also discovered a captivating young voice in singer/songwriter Neil Diamond, whom they produced and helped launch. On his own, Barry helmed boards for numerous artists including The Monkees, and fanned inimitably out virtually everywhere, including Nashville: he penned Gary Stewart’s “Out of Hand.” Along with Greenwich, Jeff Barry was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year.
