[quote]Title:  Whatever Happened to Tin Pan Alley  
   Broadcast Info:  Tuesday 28 Mar 1972, 22:30 (60 mins)  
   Channel:  ITV  
   Description:  Once upon a time, the pop music business made its money from the sale of sheet music and a walk down London's Denmark Street put one in danger - figuratively speaking - of being trampled by the herd of song publishers resident there. Now, Denmark Street has become a musical ghost town. The songs of Anne Shelton and Issy Bonn have given way to the short-lived hits of Adam Faith, Cliff Richard and Paul Jones. And the change has gone deeper yet, with people like Jonathan King: he writes his own songs, performs them under different names and releases them on his own recording labels. People like ex-singer cum pop tycoon Mickie Most, Beatles man George Martin and impresario Larry Parnes. Whatever happened to Tin Pan Alley? This programme looks to Issy Bonn and Anne Shelton, Ross Parker, Tommie Connor, Dick James and Eddie Rogers for the answers and to Mick Jagger, Jones, Faith, Richard and King plus Marc Bolan of T. Rex, Pete Townshend and guitarist/singer Heinz for the stars view of the pop scene, and Most, Martin, Parnes and songwriters Mike Chapman and Nicky Chin about what is happening on stage.

veritas	always love a thread I have a personal interest in. I was working for an (odious) legal person who once did publicity for The Beatles who owned a building in Denmark St. He got me to serve a 'notice to quit' on a tenant- Malocolm McLaren. I liked Malcolm so I tore it up and Malcolm stayed there for another year.
