Jeff Barry is one of a host of top songwriters featured in The Story Behind the Song, a new book in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. This book focuses on how, when and why 101 of the world's most popular tunes came into being, with composers sharing their inspirations and influences. Jeff gives readers the history of one of his personal favorites, "Walkin' in the Sun" - which as dedicated Jeff Barry fans might recall was inspired by his father - as well as his first hit as a songwriter, "Tell Laura I Love Her."
The book was written by Jo-Ann Geffen along with veteran Chicken Soup for the Soul authors Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. Foreword is by Lamont Dozier (from the prolific hitmaking team of Holland-Dozier-Holland).
