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.

Another shock to the musical brain. These guys are the American Songbook for the 50s. RIP

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
