Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller
Before rock bands wrote their own songs, Leiber and Stoller were already building the blueprint. Rhythm & blues, early rock and roll, pop storytelling — they helped define the form.
Their songs carried humor, swagger, and characters you could see the moment the first line landed.
