Leiber & Stoller
Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller - one of the best rock and roll and R&B songwriting teams ever.
Jerry Leiber—lyricist supreme, rakish raconteur, a penetrating gleam in his perfectly mismatched eyes—was a man of rare brilliance and vitality. Via (sometimes punishingly) high expectations and correspondingly enthusiastic encouragement, he infused those around him with brilliance and vitality as well. His unlikely creative soulmate, Mike Stoller, didn’t want to be a songwriter: Jerry talked him into it. Sixty-one years later, I’m thinkin’: must’ve been one hell of a talk. Thus began a long list of things Jerry talked Mike into (and at least as long a list of things Mike talked Jerry out of). It was a remarkably effective working method.
