 Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
Their formula was to take their love of R&B music and transform it into songs that appealed to a wide audience through their unforgettable melodies, well-conceived lyrics, and meticulous methods of producing records..."
Fearing the record would never get played, Atlantic Records rejected the song and asked Leiber and Stoller for a new lyric.
The song was originally written for the Drifters as the follow-up to "On Broadway" by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, However, it was Jay and the Americans that had the hit.

 Theatre Mirror Reviews - "Smokey Joe's Cafe"
Each song in this new show is staged to tell a story.
"Smokey Joe's Cafe" celebrates the seminal Lieber and Stoller songs of the '50s and '60s, but it's not a concert, any more than "Ain't Misbehavin'" was a concert of Fats Waller's hits.
For the rest of you, they are the phenomenal songwriters whose early rock'n'roll gems shaped the character of a generation.

They are famous for penning hits for Elvis Presley, The Searchers, The Coasters, and many other big name artists during the 50s, 60s and 70s, including even The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Chances are that every second song on the radio during the late 50s and early 60s was a Lieber and Stoller composition.
    This concert was held on June 29, 2001 at the Hammersmith Apollo theatre in London as a tribute to the music of Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller.

 Changing the World, Chapter 2, Beginnings
Here was a more subtle marriage of black RandB with white music: two white songwriters creating hit material for black singers, and reaching the top of the RandB charts in the process.
In addition to composing many of Elvis's greatest hits, Lieber and Stoller were behind dozens of songs by such black performers as the Coasters, the Drifters, and Lavern Baker.
The pounding, single chord piano solo is by itself both Jerry Lee's trademark and a rock 'n' roll institution.

 MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs
The yodelling quality to Billy's voice can be heard in the vocal style of some of his early recordings.
As happened with so many other Aussie cover versions of songs made known by significant British groups of the time, The Aztecs' version of this Coasters original made a mockery of the record upon which it was based - a half-hearted Rolling Stones EP rendition.
He performed as a youth under the pseudonym 'Little Rock Allen', to avoid potential hassles from the child protection agencies, and played on bills supporting the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis and our own rock 'n' roll phenomenon, Johnny O'Keefe.

The "Payola" scandal was an investigation by Congress into the practice of record company payments to DJ's and radio exec's in return for airplay of certain records.
That the end of the first "golden era" of Rock led to two new phases in Rock Music history, the "Teen Idols" and an increase in the importance of music songwriters/producers.
Some important producers during this era were Don Kershner, Phil Spector, Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller.

 Sold on Song - Song Library - Hound Dog
Each version is great in it's own right, but it's important to remember that Elvis didn't appropriate anything.
This song was written by two white Jewish guys, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and the blues/gospel/country fusion that rock n roll grew out from was as much Elvis' birthright as Little Richard's, Chuck Berry's and Bo Diddley's.

 The RHOF presents "Rare Rockabilly"
Texan teen pop singer Jerry Fuller had already carved a niche for himself in the songwriting and production field since recording his first sides for Joe Leonard's Lin label in Gainesville, Texas in 1957.
Before he found his niche amongst the pool of song peddlers in New York City, he was living in New Jersey and fronting a local band of teenagers, plying the high school and party circuit and driving the young crowds into hysteria with their brand of sax driven, guitar laden rock and roll.
He began to concentrate more on songwriting, penning I'll Get You Yet for Lesley Gore and Ricky Nelson (Nelson would record two further Chuck Bene inked tunes) and in 1965 or '66 met Jerry Fuller, who flew into NYC to set up a branch office for Four Star Music.

Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller (Words and Music)
As pop auteurs who wrote, arranged and produced countless recordings, Leiber and Stoller advanced rock and roll to new heights of wit and musical sophistication.
Red Bird's commercial success was equaled by the quality of the music, including such girl-group classics as the Shangri-La's "Leader of the Pack." Though the era of such timeless singles faded long ago, Leiber and Stoller have remained active in the music business to which they've contributed so substantially.

They recorded Lieber and Stoller's Only In America from a Drifters' track, and it was the group's next tune to reach the top forty.
In 1964 they recorded their biggest hit, Come A Little Bit Closer, which had been written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.

 THE FATE OF NAPSTER: DIGITAL DOWNLOADING FACES AN UPHILL BATTLE
They claim that Napster is instilling in its users the notion that music ought to be free, and that if the perception of music as a free commodity becomes persuasive, it may be difficult to reverse.
As Jerry Harrison, keyboardist of the band "Talking Heads" observes, "One of the things the Internet might do is cheapen music and make it less valuable if it's free.
That might change the way the budgets are put together and music is created.

 The Jewish Journal Of Greater Los Angeles
Billig also attempts to tackle one of the most long-standing anti-Semitic charges made about the music industry: that Jews and other whites have expropriated “black music” (i.e., rock) and exploited African American musicians.
And then there are the “black lyrics” of co-writers Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller.
The nonethnic Tom and Jerry of the 1950s became the very Jewish Simon and Garfunkel of the 1960s and ’70s.

Bernstein agreed to do music, but not lyrics, so they hired pop lyricist Jerry Lieber (Lieber and Stoller - Smokey Joe's Cafe...).
The two of them reached "an impasse" a month or two later and asked Sondheim to come in and do lyrics.
Robbins called Sondheim in to write a score for it, and SS said that he hated Brecht, all of Brecht, and particularly that play.

 The Shangri-Las
In 1964, George "Shadow" Morton was trying to break into the music business, and told his friends, Brill Building songwriters Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, that he had a ton of great songs.
When they called his bluff, he rounded up four high school students from Queens, New York - sisters Mary and Betty Weiss, and identical twins Margie and Mary Ann Ganser - and had them cut a demo for Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller's Red Bird Records.

Berns, who died in December 1967 at the age of 38, also worked with the Drifters (writing and producing "Under the Boardwalk," also covered by the Stones) and Van Morrison (producing "Brown Eyed Girl" and the first album by Morrison's mid-'60s group, Them, including Berns' song "Here Comes the Night").
Unlike Doc Pomus, Jerry Wexler, the team of Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, and other Jewish songwriters and producers who contributed significantly to the rise of rhythm and blues and early rock 'n' roll, Bert Berns has remained largely unrecognized.
