Between the two of them, Ashford and Lieber had a hand in just about every hit song ever: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "You're All I Need to Get By," and "I'm Every Woman" were among Ashford's credits; "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock" and "Stand By Me," were among Lieber's. Sadly, if appropriately, the songwriting legends died the same day: Aug. 22. Ashford was 70; Lieber, 78.
