Both songs were part composed by Barry and Dave White, one of the original Juniors from Danny & the Juniors. When the hits dried up, Barry continued performing his entertaining stage act, and later moved into songwriting and production work with WMOT Productions.[2] For more see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Barry. ...show less
