http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... 8-20110822Jerry Leiber, one of the most important songwriters in the history of rock & roll – whose 60-year partnership with Mike Stoller produced "Stand By Me," "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," "Young Blood," "On Broadway," "Yakety-Yak" and countless other classics – has died of cardiopulmonary failure. He was 78.
Jerry and his partner Mike sure knew how to write a hit song...no question about that.
