I didn't see another thread on this, so I assume no one has seen the news yet that Jerry Lieber passed away at the age of 78.

He and his buddy Mike Stoller really came up with some of the most important songs of the Rock Era...where would we all be without the songs they wrote? RIP, Mr. Leiber, and thank you... :[[

Best,

Mark
