Every now and then I get a bit nervous because of the reverence I have for the person I am about to speak to. This interview with Mike Stoller was originally broadcast on FM radio. Mike Stoller is a composer and record producer. The interview took place a short while after the passing of his partner lyricist Jerry Leiber of Leiber & Stoller.
Leiber & Stoller were the songwriters who brought many classic songs to the world, including "Hound Dog" (Elvis Presley) "Stand By Me" (Ben E. King), "On Broadway" (The Drifters) "Yakety Yak" (The Coasters) and many others.
