  1. @tc_morekindness This Leiber/Stoller composition was her last major hit. She even won a Grammy ("Best Contemporary Vocal Perfomance") for it.

    The song was put to good use in the Martin Scorsese movie "After Hours" back in the 1980s. That's where I heard it for the first time.

    A short celebration of the songwriting brilliance of Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber. Leiber died on this day in 2011.

    “Well, I might take a train
    I might take a plane
    But if I have to walk
    I'm going just the same

    I'm going to Kansas City
    Kansas City, here I come”

  3. If you're looking for trouble
    You came to the right place
    If you're looking for trouble
    Take a look right at my face
    I was born standing up
    And talking back
    My daddy was
    a green-eyed mountain jack
    'Cause I'm evil
    My middle name is misery
    Well, I'm evil
    So don't you mess around with me

    Songwriter #JerryLeiber would have turned 90 years old today. Here are a few songs that he and #MikeStoller wrote together over a few decades.
