That's a fair question: for many years, the Brill Building was the center for music publishing and song writing. A large number of music publishers had offices there and kept stables of songwriters on staff. A number of very popular singer/song writers got their start working for various publishers in the Brill.

It was a Tin Pan Alley of sorts.
