Along with her husband Barry Mann, she contributed to the soundtrack of many childhoods.

Among the songs she helped pen: "On Broadway," "Uptown," "Shades Of Gray," "My Dad," "Blame It On The Bossa Nova," "Saturday Night at the Movies," "Walkin' In the Rain," "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place," "Rock & Roll Lullaby," and perhaps their most famous - "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," which BMI says was the most played record of the last century. 

Not that the group who made that classic cared for it all that much at first. 

"...when Weil and Mann first played “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” for the Righteous Brothers, the response from singers Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield was “dead silence.”

 “Bill said, ‘Sounds good for The Everly Brothers not the Righteous Brothers,‘” she told Parade magazine in 2015. “We thought ‘Oh, God.’ Then Bobby said, ‘What am I supposed to do while the big guy’s singing?’ and Phil (Spector) said “You can go to the bank.’”
