Leiber and Stoller (Part 1 of 2) Introduced by Andy Peebles
JERRY LEIBER and MIKE STOLLER were the first successful independent record producers in the history of the record business. Originally songwriters. they became record producers and created a new order by writing for record rather than live performance.
Writing originally for black performers and audiences, they developed street credible ' lyrics long before anyone ever thought of the description, and came up with seven hit songs for Elvis Presley at his peak Their " novelette " productions for the Coasters were crazy reflections of everyday life in America. contrasting with the • sweet-soul • style of their records for the Drifters.
Today they enjoy legendary status in the rock world although continuing to write and produce only spasmodically.
