Beverly Ross co-wrote several successful pop songs in the 1950s and 1960s, including "Lollipop" "Candy Man" and "Judy's Turn To Cry".

This week Joel Najman's My Place presents a profile of singer/songwriter Beverly Ross, who during the rock era's early years was one of the most prolific and successful songwriters in New York City's bustling Tin Pan Alley. Memorable Beverly Ross-written hits by Bill Haley And The Comets, The Chordettes and Elvis Presley are among the selections featured.
