Various Artists - Leiber And Stoller - The Rockers

Lyricist Jerome Jerry Leiber and composer Mike Stoller's craftsmen's skill with the pen helped define the sound of Rock 'n Roll and Rhythm & Blues music, and together they wrote over 70 chart hits. This is the second of two albums that focuses on their mid-1950s and early 1960s collaborations, includes white and black artists, and many titles on this album are embellished with a humorous vernacular that appealed to the teenagers, and because of this, they became chart hits. Most certainly there are several well-known versions of titles that are purposely omitted, for it is a safe assumption that most of you will have these already. Some titles appear on each of the two albums in the set, all be it in different styles or arrangements and the concept of the albums is to show the adaptations of Leiber and Stroller's songwriting skills.
