520    In 1950 a couple of rhythm and blues-loving teenagers 
       named Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller met, discovered their 
       mutual affection for R&B, and, as Jerry and Mike put it in
       this autobiography, it was the beginning of an argument 
       that has been going on for more than fifty years with no 
       resolution in sight. They had their first success with a 
       song called "Hard Times" that became an R&B hit in 1952. 
       They followed it another bluesy composition, "Hound Dog," 
       for the inimitable Big Mama Thornton. A few years later 
       "Hound Dog" would become a #1 hit for Elvis Presley, and 
       Jerry and Mike became the King's favorite songwriters. 
       They went on to write for the Coasters, the Drifters and 
       many others. Along the way they mentored an ambitious 
       young writer-producer named Phil Spector and influenced 
       musician Burt Bacharach. Here they describe how two young 
       guys created the soundtrack for a generation.--From
