Leiber and Stoller =========================== From: Steve Mc Date: Sun, 09 Jul 2006 12:00:04 GMT Newsgroups: rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1950s Message-ID: <8d6sg.63109$fb2.28607@newssvr27.news.prodigy.net> Easy was obviously an understatement. Five, including self-disqualified Peter, scored a perfect 100% (64 points): Rick Cathy Mark godismy Peter Bill had 60, and Marc had 59. The only ones missed were identifying the songs on six Elvis': #09) Santa Claus Is Back In Town #10) Hot Dog #13) Hound Dog #16) She's Not You #19) I Want To Be Free #21) Loving You and #01) Black Denim Trousers And Motorcycle Boots Although we're all aware of Leiber & Stoller's vast canon of great songs, going to various websites, and seeing the entire (?) list of their songs is rather mind-boggling. I could remember as a little kid, touching and feeling those magical black-round discs, and seeing the those two words in parentheses, Leiber-Stoller, below the titles of so many songs, was rather impressive, even then. Thanks to all who played along, and a special thanks to Marc for posting the link on his site, and to Peter, for some very interesting feedback to some of my co-author questions. All below are written by Leiber & Stoller, except as noted in brackets. Thanks again to Peter for the additions/corrections on the collaborations. ====+=============================================================== #01) Black Denim Trousers And Motorcycle Boots -- Cheers #02) Ruby Baby -- Drifters #03) Drip Drop -- Drifters #04) Young Blood -- Coasters [and Pomus] #05) Searchin' -- Coasters #06) Yakety Yak -- Coasters #07) Charlie Brown -- Coasters #08) Along Came Jones -- Coasters #09) Santa Claus Is Back In Town -- Elvis Presley #10) Hot Dog -- Elvis Presley #11) Jailhouse Rock -- Elvis Presley #12) King Creole -- Elvis Presley #13) Hound Dog -- Elvis Presley #14) Hound Dog -- Willie Mae 'Big Mama' Thornton #15) Treat Me Nice -- Elvis Presley #16) She's Not You -- Elvis Presley [and Pomus] #17) Spanish Harlem -- Ben E King [Leiber/Spector] #18) On Broadway -- Drifters [and Mann/Weil] #19) I Want To Be Free -- Elvis Presley #20) Love Me -- Elvis Presley #21) Loving You -- Elvis Presley #22) Stand By Me -- Ben E King [and King} #23) Don't -- Elvis Presley #24) Trouble -- Elvis Presley #25) (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care -- Elvis Presley #26) Love Potion No. 9 -- Clovers #27) Poison Ivy -- Coasters #28) Smokey Joe's Café -- Robins #29) Riot In Cell Block #9 -- Robins #30) Framed -- Robins #31) Shoppin' For Clothes -- Coasters [and Harris] #32) Three Cool Cats -- Coasters ====+===============================================================
