Jerry Leiber, R.I.P
With videos/songs:
Rock 'n' Roll songwriter Jerry Leiber, R.I.P., age 78.
From the article:
Jerry Leiber, who died today at 78, wrote songs that became legends unto themselves. You could write entire books about "Kansas City," about "Stand by Me," about "On Broadway," about "There Goes My Baby," about "Jailhouse Rock," about "Is That All There Is," and lord knows about "Hound Dog.) "Yakety Yak" rivals Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes" as the definitive adults-vs.-teenagers '50s anthem.
