In this “Sunday Morning” profile that aired February 8, 2015, Weil and Mann talk with correspondent Rita Braver about their love-hate competition with Carole King (dramatized in the musical “Beautiful”), and about creating such classics as “On Broadway” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’.” Source
