[edit] The bust

There is a golden bust above the main doorway of the Brill Building, and a larger copy of it in the cove just below the roof facing Broadway. I believe it is of Irving Berlin, but have been unable to find any source that can confirm this. Anybody? Bgruber 07:30, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

It's not Irving Berlin. I think it was one of the Brill brothers, but I'm not sure. I have close-up photos of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.18.136 (talk) 21:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What does it sound like?

This article would be stronger if it tried to explain what the brill building sound was, either descriptively or by example. Nandesuka 14:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Side Door Law?

Does anyone have a citation for the law that said musicians couldn't enter through the front of a building?(82.46.153.11 00:24, 5 May 2006 (UTC))

It was probably primarily so someone standing on the street couldn't observe that it was mostly Jews walking into the building. Sam Rockwell

Good and informative article but one glaring omission is the name of Neil Diamond who must surely be one of the most successful songwriters to have come out of the Brill Building —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.198.101.156 (talk) 05:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
