Members Max Posted August 23, 2011 Members Share Posted August 23, 2011 RIP to a man who--along with songwriting partner Mike Stoller--had such a major impact on rock and roll's first decade. In particular, the songs Lieber and Stoller wrote for Elvis Presley and the Coasters were huge hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 3, 2011 Members Share Posted September 3, 2011 Apparently the team had a musical about the life of Oscar Wilde (?!?! such an odd theme for them--but their flop musical The People In the Picture that played Broadway this year was about the Holocaust, so...) that's still in the pipeline in London.
