Biography:
Brian was born November 12, 1943, in Brooklyn/Queens, New York City, where his first musical experience ranged from church choir at nine, to clarinet and guitar, to his first local harmony group, the Delfis. In 1959, they cut a demo record and made the rounds of New York City record labels. Finally, with much persistence, after many closed doors, Brian was signed as a solo artist to a management contract, where he cut demos for band leader Sammy Kaye's publishing company.

Once I was a king...I thought, always a king..

Cause I just captured someone's heart.

But may I explain...I treated her mean..

and then my kingdom fell apart.
CHORUS:

I found I couldn't sleep at night..

And when I found her gone from sight..

I found a lover..became a joker.

You'll find a lover..becomes a joker.
