He sure did, arr&bee. He played guitar on it. That's him wailing in the instrumental break. On the way to The Drifter's recording session, Leiber & Stoller bumped into Phil on the street and invited him to sit in on the "On Broadway" session. Phil agreed, and the rest is history. If not for that chance meeting, that guitar would have been played by somebody else, or possibly not at all.

Phil originally produced "On Broadway" for The Crystals, but he wasn't satisfied with it enough for single release, so it was saved as an LP track for their "Twistin' Uptown" and "He's A Rebel" albums.
