Here's a couple of songs: "On Broadway": Weil and Barry Mann teamed with Lieber and Stoller.
"We've to get outta this place' was written by Weil and Mann.

I wonder what kind of royalties Mann and Weil generated just from "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling."

"The team of Mann and Weil was part of the legendary songwriters who used the Brill Building, the New York landmark on Broadway, a few blocks north of Times Square, to create their work. The pair was inducted together into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.

The list of legendary songs written by Mann and Weill is a long one: “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” (with Phil Spector), which has the distinction of being the most played song of the twentieth century; “On Broadway” (with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller), “Walking In the Rain,” “Kicks” and “Hungry” (both hits for Paul Revere and the Raiders), “Soul And Inspiration,” “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place,” “I Just Can’t Help Believing” (a hit for B.J. Thomas), “Here You Come Again,” “Never Gonna Let You Go,” “Make Your Own Kind of Music” (recorded by Mama Cass), “Just Once,” and the Grammy®-nominated “Don’t Know Much” (with Tom Snow) (a hit for Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt), as well as many others."
