Members Hard Truth Posted August 24, 2011 Members Share Posted August 24, 2011 They were THE rock and R&B song writers of the fifties. Many of the songs are hilarious. Hound Dog Jailhouse Rock Riot in Cell Block #9 Stand By Me (with Ben E. King), Smokey Joe's Cafe On Broadway Young Blood Love Potion No. 9 Poison Ivy Searchin' Im A Hog For You Baby Charlie Brown Along Came Jones Yakety Yak Love Me Loving You Don't Jailhouse Rock King Creole Santa Claus is Coming and even "Is That All There Is?" recorded by Peggy Lee They were also important producers. In the early 1960s, Phil Spector served an apprenticeship of sorts with Leiber and Stoller in New York, developing his record producer's craft while assisting and playing guitar on their sessions, including "On Broadway."Their last major hit production was "Stuck in the Middle With You," by Stealers Wheel in 1972. This album is essential IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hard Truth Posted August 24, 2011 Members Share Posted August 24, 2011 Love Potion Number Nine I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine I told her that I was a flop with chics I've been this way since 1956 She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine" She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink" It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissin' everything in sight But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
