View and Listen to the FIQL Playlist Here

Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller are probably the most important songwriters and music producers in early Rock & Roll history. Although they're not well known because of their work behind-the-scenes. The songwriting team's compositions have been big hits for the likes of Elvis Presely, Charles Brown, Wilbert Harrison, Buddy Holly, The Drifters, The Searchers, The Coasters, Dion, Peggy Lee, and many more.

This playlist kicks off with Leiber and Stoller's very first hit, "Hard Times" by Charles Brown and is followed by a long string of familiar hits.
If you're not familiar with the duo, this is a great example of their impressive body of work.
