Description
Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller were arguably the most important and influential songwriters in the history of R&B/Rock & Roll. This carefully-assembled compilation traces the first 10 years of their joint writing and producing career, between 1952-62, which started with their very first hit record, Charles Brown's "Hard Times".
'Treat Me Nice' comprises sixty-four tracks, presenting a wide range of hits, misses, flips, surprises and collectors' rarities, featuring The Coasters, The Drifters, Ben E. King, Ruth Brown, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy Witherspoon, Lavern Baker, Clyde McPhatter, Big Joe Turner, Screaming Jay Hawkins, The Clovers, Wynonie Harris, Jay & The Americans, Gene Pitney, Dion and many more. Songs like "Hound Dog", "Kansas City", "Yakety Yak", "Riot in Cell Block #9", "Jailhouse Rock", "Smokey Joe's Café", "Drip Drop", "Ruby Baby" and "Charlie Brown" remain iconic 50s musical landmarks. Many of the rarer tracks featured herein are unavailable elsewhere on CD.
