For as long as pop music is heard, everyone will listen to Leiber and Stoller. Except Jerry Leiber
Article Abstract:
Listening to songs which you have written and produced yourself can become tedious, according to Jerry Leiber, who is associated with a number of extremely well known pop songs. This view is not entirely shared by Mike Stoller, Leiber's song-writing partner, who feels that he has benefited from a recent move to put on a theatrical performance of some of their most well known songs. The two men have collaborated for many years, and know each other extremely well. However, their personalities are very different.

Been there, done That
Article Abstract:
The members of pop group Take That, which recently split up, will probably have a positive future, according to former lead singer Gary Barlow. He feels that he always suffered from being the least attractive member of the group, but is now proving that he has real songwriting talent. He is already working on his first solo album, and remains modest and down-to-earth, despite having experienced several years of fame.
