More on Jeff Barry
Description from Wikipedia:
Jeff Barry (born April 3, 1938) is an American pop music songwriter, singer, and record producer.
Barry was born Joel Adelberg in Brooklyn, New York. His parents divorced when he was seven, and his mother moved him and his sister to Plainfield, New Jersey, where they resided for several years before returning to New York.
After graduating from Erasmus Hall High School, Barry did a stint in the Army and then returned to New York where he attended City College, leaning toward a degree in engineering. His main aspiration, as he soon came to acknowledge, was to become a singer: once he realized that he spent more time performing than studying, Barry cut his college career short and in 1958 found himself signed to RCA Records courtesy of music publisher Arnold Shaw. (Around this time, wanting a more show-bizzy name, the budding young talent rechristened himself — borrowing his new first name Jeff from the actor Jeff Chandler, and surname Barry from friends of the family.)
Barry recorded several singles for the label, including the self-penned "It's Called Rock and Roll" backed with "Hip Couple," released in 1959. Before long, it became apparent that the powers that be were more interested in the songs Barry wrote than in Barry the singer, and his career took a different turn from the path he had envisioned. In 1960, Barry the songwriter landed on the R&B charts with "Teenage Sonata," as recorded by Sam Cooke, and later the same year Barry enjoyed his first pop music hit when Ray Peterson recorded "Tell Laura I Love Her" (co-written with Ben Raleigh) and landed on the U.S. Top Ten. British singer Ricky Valance took the song all the way to #1 in the U.K. later that same year. Several more chart hits would follow during the next few years.
