So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away. We had a love, a love, a love you don't find every day. If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah. THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS: (Singing) Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you. They begin with this part of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." We're going to listen back to Terry's 2000 interview with Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann.
In 1999, Weil and Mann's song, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," was the most performed song of the century in the BMI publishing catalog. Unlike many songwriters of the '60s, Weil and Mann survived what was called the British Invasion. Songwriters like Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Ellie Greenwich and Neil Sedaka churned out material for the latest singers and pop groups. They worked in Manhattan in an office building near the Brill Building when the area was the new Tin Pan Alley. When Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann teamed up in the early 1960s, they were both staff writers for a music publishing company owned by Don Kirshner. MOSLEY: That was the Drifters, The Crystals, The Righteous Brothers, Dusty Springfield, the Animals and Dolly Parton. You waltz right in the door, just like you've done before, and wrap my heart 'round your little finger. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "HERE YOU COME AGAIN")ĭOLLY PARTON: (Singing) Here you come again, just when I've begun to get myself together. Girl, there's a better life for me and you. THE ANIMALS: (Singing) We got to get out of this place if it's the last thing we ever do. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE") (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "JUST A LITTLE LOVIN'")ĭUSTY SPRINGFIELD: (Singing) Just a little loving early in the morning beats a cup of coffee for starting off the day. And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips. THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS: (Singing) You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN'") But then he comes uptown each evening to my tenement, uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent. THE CRYSTALS: (Singing) He gets up each morning, and he goes downtown where everyone's his boss, and he's lost in an angry land. They say there's always magic in the air on Broadway.
THE DRIFTERS: (Singing) They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway, on Broadway. Weil and Mann songs were recorded by the Drifters and The Righteous Brothers and many others. Cynthia Weil, part of the songwriting team with her husband, Barry Mann, died last week at the age of 82. “So Done” was an international hit, charting in 15 nations. It performed most impressively in Laroi’s homeland of Australia, where the track has been certified double-platinum.This is FRESH AIR. The Kid Laroi wrote this song in conjunction with its producers, Khaled Rohaim and Omer Fedi. The Kid Laroi was not only a regular collaborator of Juice WRLD’s but has also worked alongside the likes of Lil Tjay, Lil Tecca and Blackbear. The Kid Laroi, despite being all the way from Australia, had the privilege of being taken under the wing of Juice WRLD, a rapper from Chi-town.Īround that time Juice WRLD was one of the most-popular artists in hip-hop but unfortunately passed away, himself only being 21, in late 2019. And we can say that with Laroi being such a close confidante, that tragic passing – or perhaps even WRLD being featured on one of his tracks in general – actually contributed to launching his career. That is to say that his first international hit, 2020’s “ Go” (the lead single from F**k Love), featured Juice WRLD. But as far as its real-life basis, it is the combination of “a girl or two or three” that The Kid Laroi ‘messed with’ in the past. It would appear that from an artistic standpoint the entirety of the mixtape is themed on a singular relationship, i.e.
This song was released as the fourth single overall from the aforementioned on 23 October 2020. And The Kid Laroi had just turned 17 years old a couple of months prior to the release of this track. This track is from the deluxe version of “F**k Love (Savage)”, which is Laroi’s maiden commercial mixtape. Prior to that Laroi had only officially released one project, which was his debut EP, “14 With a Dream” (2018). The music video to this piece was directed by Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett, a regular collaborator of Laroi’s.
