Pomus-Shuman Free Music

Pomus-Shuman

Effective period / Period of releases: 2007

Members: Mort Shuman, Jerome Felder

Songwriting partnership between Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman.

Pomus and Shuman teamed up to compose for Aldon Music at offices in New York City's Brill Building. With the advent of the "British invasion", they moved to London where they penned songs for a number of British musicians. Their collaboration ended in 1965.

Their songwriting collaboration saw Pomus write the lyrics and Shuman the melody, although occasionally they worked on both. Their compositions would be recorded by artists such as Dion, The Flamingos, Andy Williams, Bobby Darin, Fabian, Ajda Pekkan, The Drifters, and Elvis Presley, among others. Their most famous songs include "A Teenager in Love", "Turn Me Loose", "This Magic Moment", "Save The Last Dance For Me", "Little Sister", "Can't Get Used to Losing You", "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame", "Viva Las Vegas" and "Sweets for My Sweet".
