Lieber wrote just about every good 50's hit there was...at least everyone EVERYONE knows...

Nick Ashford wrote all the 70's R&B hits you all know...

so...the question that begs to be asked...who is number 3...someone from the 60's...80s...90's...the naughts, 00s...???

Gender:	Re: RIP Nick Asford and Jerry Lieber...great stuff Reply #3 - Aug 22^nd, 2011 at 11:29pm A double whammy.... I heard about Leiber first---early this evening. And then Nick Ashford was on the 11:00 news. "You're All I Need To Get By" is one of my fave pop songs of all time. Marvin and Tammy at their singing best, and Nick and Valerie at their writing best....

His passing is sad, but he lived a long and fulfilled life. Rest In Peace.

Let's show them the respect of spelling their names correctly. And as far as pondering about who #3 might be? No thanks. That's really a question that does not beg to be asked OR answered.
