Weil, in partnership with husband Barry Mann, wrote the lyrics for such hits as 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling,' 'On Broadway' and 'Here You Come Again.'
Cynthia Weil, one of the major pop songwriters to emerge from Manhattan’s Brill Building in the early 1960s, died Thursday at her home in Beverly Hills. She was 82.Weil spent nearly four decades writing hit singles that spanned a variety of genres, many of which turned into enduring standards. Most of these songs were written in partnership with Barry Mann, the fellow Brill Building songwriter Weil married in 1961, and who was at her bedside when she died.
Jenn Mann wrote in a statement to The Times, “When people imagine Cynthia Weil they see the mega-hits she wrote with my father, the Grammys she won, being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and her life portrait in the Carole King musical ‘Beautiful.’ We remember the incredible loving wife, mother, grandmother and mother-in-law she was. She was tough, brilliant, funny, fiercely loyal and beautiful.
During this period, Mann stepped away from Weil to co-write “He’s So Shy” for the Pointer Sisters and “Running With the Night” with Lionel Richie. Weil was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987. She received the Ahmet Ertegun Award from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.This
