Paul Adams: Listening Theme 62 – Leiber and Stoller

Hi all,

To mark the passing of Jerry Leiber a couple of weeks ago, I’ll be dedicating my next Listening Theme to the music of Leiber & Stoller.

Using this comprehensive discography as my guide (and with your suggestions as usual) I’ll be listening to anything penned (or produced) by Leiber & Stoller – not just the well known recordings by Elvis, The Coasters, The Drifters etc. So lets have some recommendations.

And if that wasn’t enough, I think I’ll attempt one of my music marathons (haven’t had one for a while). I’ll try to listen to as many different recordings of Hound Dog as I can. According to the list there are pleanty of recordings of it around

Cheers, Paul
