Part two on wishing songwriter and blues singer Doc Pomus a happy birthday on June 27th.
Happy birthday from the 11th floor of 253 w 72nd! In the 1970s and 1980s, Pomus lived there. I later lived in that same building on the 11th floor. I think the magic was still there. He used to host his birthday parties there- names like Big Joe Turner and Otis Blackwell would be there. Bob Dylan as well. Pomus also hosted Dylan, among so others, at that apartment - for songwriting help. Pomus passed in 1991, the following year he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a non performer,Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992 and Blues Hall of Fame in 2012.
