Often overlooked and underrated but well worthy of your record-buying dollar are Jerome Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. The seven years Pomus & Shuman operated as a team kicked off when Dion & the Belmonts took A Teenager in Love  to the US Number 5 spot in 1959, their first chart-topper came within a year. Like Leiber and Stoller,Pomus and Shuman s music straddled the racial barrier, both in terms of performer and audience writing for the likes of The Drifters, Elvis, Ben E. King and Big Joe Turner. They also flirted with British pop, writing for Cliff Richard and Adam Faith among others. While Doc was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 it took his partner another 18 years to earn that accolade. Not that it makes much difference the pair s musical relationship will forever be enshrined in the 75 songs in this compilation. CD1 1. Sweets For My Sweet - The Drifters 2.
