Page "Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller" Paragraph 13

In the late seventies, A & M Records recruited Leiber and Stoller to write and produce an album for Elkie Brooks.

The album Two Days Away ( 1977 ) proved a success in the UK and most of Europe.

Their composition " Pearl's A Singer " ( written with Ralph Dino & John Sembello ) became a hit for Brooks, and remains her signature tune.

They produced another album for her, Live and Learn, in 1979.

In 1978, mezzo-soprano Joan Morris and her pianist-composer husband William Bolcom recorded an album, Other Songs by Leiber and Stoller, featuring a number of the songwriters ' more unusual ( and satiric ) works, including " Let's Bring Back World War I ", written specifically for ( and dedicated to ) Bolcom and Morris ; and " Humphrey Bogart ", a tongue-in-cheek song about obsession with the actor.
