Wow!

"I felt black," Leiber told Rolling Stone in 1990. "I was as far as I was concerned. And I wanted to be black for lots of reasons. They were better musicians, they were better athletes, they were not uptight about sex, and they knew how to enjoy life better than most people."

isn't this racist?

[Fresh Wind]

Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don’t get no spendin’ cash
If you don’t scrub that kitchen floor
You ain’t gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)

Just finish cleanin’ up your room
Let’s see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don’t go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin’ that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)

Don’t you give me no dirty looks
Your father’s hip; he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain’t got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)

Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak

Rest in peace, Mr. Leiber.

and in 1972 they produced "Stuck In The Middle With You," which was recorded by Stealers Wheel.

And launched the career of Quentin Tarantino.

Ben E. King:

Stand By Me

Lyrics Songwriters: Jerry Leiber;Mike Stoller;Ben King

When the night has come and the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we see

No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling, stand by me,

oh, stand by me

Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall

Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling, stand by me

Darling, darling, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble

Won't you stand by me, oh, stand by me

So maybe some critics of rock 'n' roll were correct in their assessment that it paved the road for generations of degenerates.

Who would have guessed?

[StAnDeliver]

"The duo never stopped working together, and in 1972 they produced "Stuck In The Middle With You," which was recorded by Stealers Wheel."

The late, great demented-alkie-but-forever-brilliant Gerry Rafferty (and Joe Egan) wrote this song. It wasn't a Brill Building product, per se.

In my puppyhood seeing “Leiber-Stoller” credits on a piece of round vinyl was like magic. Who are these geniuses, I thought.

Everyone should take a few minutes and look around here:

That’s what success looks like.

RIP Jerry Lieber, and thank you.

“Ruby Ruby” as performed by Donald Fagan is way up there on my favorites list.
