Cynthia Weil, trailblazing lyricist who co-wrote such enduring hits as You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ – obituary

  • Cynthia Weil, who has died aged 82, was one of the first women to breach the all-male citadel of America’s Tin Pan Alley in the early 1960s, forming a lifelong hit-making partnership with her husband, Barry Mann, that yielded, among many others, the chartbusting You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ (1965); with Ellie Greenwich and Carole King, she blazed a trail in pop music songwriting as one of the few women to challenge the all-male hegemony that encircled the Broadway hit factories of the 1960s.
