Composer Mike Stoller's 'Charlotte' Recorded by Jazz Artist Steve Tyrell

Grammy Award-winning composer Mike Stoller, of the legendary songwriting team of Leiber & Stoller, has gone solo. Stoller just recently penned the music and lyrics to his latest song, "Charlotte," at the request of Anthony Foxx, mayor of Charlotte, NC. The song has just been recorded by the popular American jazz musician and Grammy Award-winning singer and producer, Concord Records recording artist Steve Tyrell, whose eight American standards albums have all achieved Top 5 status on Billboard's Jazz charts.

Mike Stoller said: "My new song, 'Charlotte,' celebrates the city of Charlotte, NC, much like the song 'Kansas City'-which my late songwriting partner, Jerry Leiber, and I wrote back in 1952-celebrates the city of Kansas City, MO. This is the first song for which I have written both the music and the lyrics." Jerry Leiber passed away in August 2011.

Over the course of their 61-year partnership, Leiber & Stoller created enduring classics in a variety of genres including rhythm & blues, pop, country, jazz, cabaret, and-perhaps most notably-rock & roll. To learn more, visit the website, www.leiberstoller.com.

Steve Tyrell said: "I've admired Mike Stoller all my days in the music business. The recordings he and Jerry Leiber made with Ben E. King and The Drifters changed my life. Working on Mike's first solo song, the beautiful 'Charlotte,' is the greatest honor."
