April 25 - Jerry Leiber (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Jerry Lieber (25 April 1933 – 22 August 2011) was half of the song-writing team of Leiber and Stoller, who wrote "Hound Dog" and "Jailhouse Rock" among many other hits.

Leiber and Stoller did their parts

To get young Elvis on the charts,

And given this, it is regrettable

That fans have found their names forgettable.
