At forty three one of the men who were responsible for Elvis Presley's early career.
43 JERRY LEIBER
Born 25th April 1933 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Jerry Leiber supplied the lyrics to the string of classics he wrote with his great friend Mike Stoller, to which Elvis was the main benefactor. They also produced the acts they wrote for and it shouldn't be forgotten that without that without them at the beginning of his career Elvis may never have made the impact and the sustained success he stills enjoys today. In 2000 they celebrated 50 years of writing together receiving an Ivor Novello for their outstanding contributions to songwriting.
