Brian Elliot

Most know Brian Elliot as an exceptional songwriter, who wrote the hit song “Papa Don´t Preach” performed by Madonna in 1986. "Papa Don't Preach", was written by Brian Elliot, who described it as "a love song, maybe framed a little bit differently". The song is based on teen gossip he heard outside his studio, which has a large front window that doubles as a mirror where schoolgirls from the North Hollywood High School in Los Angeles regularly stopped to fix their hair and chat.
