Members english_bob Posted August 23, 2011 Members Share Posted August 23, 2011 Apparently not HCFX's bag, but today we lost two halves of two great songwriting teams: Jerry Lieber: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiber_and_Stoller Nick Ashford: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashford_%26_Simpson Can't get on Youtube from work, but maybe someone would do the honours and put some choice Leiber-Stoller or Ashford-Simpson tunes up...

Members melx Posted August 23, 2011 Members Share Posted August 23, 2011 "Poison Ivy" ... 'The Lambrettas' version because it's the version I know from my youth. and the Motown Soul classic "ain't no mountain high enough' [video=youtube;Xz-UvQYAmbg] good stuff.

Members theluckyjackson Posted August 23, 2011 Members Share Posted August 23, 2011 The early 60s was definitely the low point of Elvis' career, but I still love some of those Lieber and Stoller tunes from the films. "I'm just a red blooded boy and I can't stop thinkin' 'bout..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoJLoNkSYqo&feature=related King Creole, Elvis' favorite film. It's kind of an "On the Waterfront" wanna be, but I like it. Why? Because it stars the F**king king of Rock! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGw1tMWOlVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
