Legendary Brill Building songwriter, Doc Pomus, is one of the greatest songwriters in the history of American popular music, penning such rock, pop, and R&B standards as "Viva Las Vegas," "A Teenager In Love," and "This Magic Moment," among many, many others.
Pomus began his career as a blues singer before striking up a partnership with Mort Shuman and transitioning to songwriting full-time. Together, the two set up shop in the Brill Building and began churning out hits for the likes of Elvis Presley, Fabian, Dion, and Bobby Darin.
