He got his first exposure to music at the Brooklyn Erasmus High School. He joined and sang for a fixed choir group with then classmate and totally obscure Barbra Streisand. Initially, the first songs he has written and composed failed to make money but it did into stop him for pursuing his love for music. His first hit composition "I'm a Believer" for The Monkees gained prominence as the greatest song for the year 1966 and eventually gave him the opportunity to write songs for other famous musical artists.
