put words to existing music than
music to existing words."
In 1956, Leiber and Stoller flew to
New York to meet with Elvis Presley's
music publisher. He gave them a
movie script, and asked them to write
the score. Instead, they went to jazz
clubs and the theater. When the music
publisher came to their hotel suite a
week later, no work had been done.
"He was a large man," Leiber said.
"And he pushed this couch in front of
the door, stretched out on it and said,
`I'm not getting up, which means
you're not going out until you finish
the score.' We went to work immedi-
ately, and the pressure was great
enough to galvanize us. I thought the
script was kind of jerky, so I replaced
a dumb song title with lailhouse
Rock.' We wrote it and three other
songs in three hours."
A year later, Leiber and Stoller
moved to New York, where Atlantic
Records signed them to the first inde-
pendent production deal in music-
industry history. In addition to writ-
ing, producing and arranging, they
soon were serving as mentors to such
gifted (if then obscure) young song-
writers as Burt Bacharach, Phil
Spector and, later, Van McCoy.
In the 1960s, they launched two
record labels, bought several more and
worked with dozens of artists, includ-
ing Peggy Lee, for whom they wrote
"Is That All There Is?" In the 1970s,
they produced albums for Stealer's
Wheel, Elide Brooks and art-rock
band Procol Harum.
Decidedly less visible in the 1980s
and early 1990s, the acclaimed song-
writing team has been rejuvenated by
the success of Smokey Joe's Café. They
are working on a new musical, tenta-
tively titled Time Step.
"I'd like to be remembered for being
a good songwriter," Stoller said simply.
Told that jazz giant Miles Davis
once said he wanted to be remem-
bered for "not being white," Leiber
laughed and said, "I'd like to be
remembered for the same thing. For
not being white — I think that's cool.
We both agree. Jerry Leiber and Miles
Davis are brothers."
