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
