Wow - no love for Jerry Leiber? It's a shame that most folks only know the songs but not who wrote them. For those who don't know, please look up "Leiber/Stoller." This is a HUGE loss. RIP, Mr. Leiber.

RIP to Jerry Leiber and Nick Ashford, both nearly contemporaneous losses to the music world.

I don't know who he is, but I'll go check it out and see if I recognize any of his songs.

Sad day. Certainly part of one of the most prolific songwriting teams of our time.
