Morning View - Brill Building

Built in 1930, Time Square's Brill Building, at 1619 Broadway, is where a massive amount of American pop songs were written, home to the offices of such luminaries as Leiber & Stoller, Bacharach & David, Carole King and Neil Sedaka. By the early 60's, the work done in this single building so influenced American pop that many music historians charcterize the sound of the time as the "Brill Building sound". My favorite Brill Building song: Burt Bacharach and Hal David's The Look Of Love.
