PIED PIPER, The

Created on 23/10/2007
Latest update on 02/02/2015

Artist: Changin' Times
Author: Steve Duboff/Artie Kornfeld
Label: Philips
Year: 1965

Brill Building songwriting duo Artie Kornfeld and Steve Duboff. They also cowrote Deadman's Curve. Dylanesk version or even a parody. An ugly peek inside Brill Building turtle neck's psyches versus the Dylan phenomenon, winding a whole new generation around his finger like a real Pied Piper does. The times really were a-changin' out there, which reflects in their chosen band name. Reissued on cd Before They Were Hits or We Did It First Vol. 2 (Triple Crown).
