'Is That All There Is?'

By Peggy Lee 

It is funny how so much about this Leiber & Stoller song feels like it is from a com­pletely different time and place for pop music, but so much about it could also form the basis of a 2011 Ke$ha single.

We don't know if that's a good thing or not but we do know that those basic prin­ciples of pop that we keep going back to again and again and again were set in stone at the dawn of pop by song­writ­ing legends like Jerry Leiber.

The more pop changes, the more it really stays the same.

(This song is a corker.)
