Behind Tin Pan Alley songs lay stories. A white couple from Brooklyn penned    
Aretha's signature "A Natural Woman;" Ronnie Mack died at 25 of Hodgkin's    
disease, just after "He's So Fine" hit Number One, never knowing the plagiarism    
suit against George Harrison over "My Sweet Lord" eight years later; Doc    
Pomus penned "Save the Last Dance for Me" on the back of an invitation to    
his own wedding, but Pomus himself was a paraplegic, unable to dance.
