Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller are arguably two of the most successful composers of the 1950s and 1960s. With countless hits by Elvis Presley and many others, they have become a true brand when it comes to mature songwriting with a guaranteed hit. Ace has dedicated a three-volume anthology to the duo, now covering the period 1956-1964, with 24 tracks, many in previously unheard or alternate versions or for the first time digitally on CD. Quatrefoil ("Love potion number nine"), the Isley Brothers ("Your old lady"), Ben E. King ("On The horizon"), Roy Hamilton ("Lips"), Ruth Brown ("Lucky lips"), Johnny Mathis ("An open fire") and even Muhammad Ali ("Stand by me") are honored along with other artists with their versions of Leiber and Stoller songs. Compiled, of course, with the personal assistance of the duo, who also contributed the lavishly illustrated, insider liner notes.

Album couvre tous les genres Rock, Pop, Funk / Soul, Rhythm & Blues et Rock & Roll.
