Search - Leiber & Stoller Story :: The Leiber & Stoller Story, Volume 3: 1962-1969

The final part of Ace's trilogy in tribute to Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller takes their story up to 1970 and embraces the usual mixture of established classics and terminal obscurities. Our selection demonstrates the ease with which L & S coped with the writing and producing of material that went way beyond the rock 'n' roll and R&B with which their names are most indelibly associated - whether that material was uptown soul, girl group, country, latin soul or 'adult contemporary'. As ever, our CD is complemented by a handsomely and copiously illustrated booklet and impeccable sleevenotes from Mick Patrick (with input from Mike Stoller's son, Peter). As before, the CD has been produced in collaboration with, and with the approval of, the men whose career it salutes. Although it's the last in our series of three, it is by no means the final chapter of a story that goes on to this day and that has involved many more triumphs in the interim.
