You Can’t Hip A Square: The Doc Pomus Songwriting Demos is a remarkable collection of demo recordings by legendary songwriter Doc Pomus, whose work shaped the sound of early rock ‘n’ roll and the Brill Building era. The album features previously unreleased tracks performed by Pomus himself, his longtime collaborator Mort Shuman, and notable figures like Ellie Greenwich, Scott Fagan, and Phil Spector. Spanning tender, heartfelt ballads to gritty, upbeat compositions, the music showcases Pomus’ genius in crafting songs that became classics for artists like Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, and The Drifters.
