P.F. Sloan is an American pop-rock singer and songwriter, born Philip Schlein in New York City in 1945. His family moved to West Hollywood, California in the late 1950s, and as a teenager he became part of the burgeoning Los Angeles music scene of the early 1960s. He used the name Phil F. Sloan or P.F. Sloan. Under these names, he wrote such 1960's hits as "Eve of Destruction," recorded by Barry McGuire; "You Baby" by The Turtles; and "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers. The last was the theme tune for Secret Agent, a British TV series that had been given a new title and theme for the U.S. market. (In Britain it was Danger Man). Sloan also wrote songs for the Turtles, The Grass Roots, Jan and Dean, and various others along with his then writing and production partner Steve Barri.
