*Leon
Huff, who was discovered by John Madara, plays keyboards on several

to become one of the most successful writing/producing teams in

songs is Daryl Hall, who John also discovered, before he hooked
up with John Oates to become the most successful duo in the history
of the music business.
This one-of-a-kind
CD is presented by John Madara. Along with partner, Dave White,
he wrote and produced such timeless classics as AT THE HOP (Danny
and The Juniors), THE FLY (Chubby Checker), YOU DON'T OWN ME (Leslie
Gore) and 1-2-3 (Len Barry, who also co-wrote the song with Madara
& White). These and countless other hits by Madara &
