Jerry Leiber, 1933-2011

Condolences to his family, friends, fans and disciples. The impact of the legendary Leiber & Stoller songwriting team (Leiber on the left there) on the history of rock music is incalculable. It's impossible to imagine the first decade of the rock era without their songs, and their influence on subsequent generations of artists left an indelible mark as well. Baby, that's rock 'n' roll.
