January 23, 2022 Record of the Day

Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller were among the most sought after songwriters of the 50’s and 60’s. They wrote enough hits to fill a Broadway show. The title of that show is the same as one of their earliest hits, “Smokey Joe’s Café.” The single was recorded by the Robins whose members Carl Gardner and Bobby Nunn became part of one of Rock and Roll’s most popular groups,the Coasters. The 45 of “Smokey Joe”s Cafe” can  sell for $150.00 today. The 78 for $250.00.
