Aaron Schroeder's passing

Let's all pause and remember the life and career of one great songwriter and producer, Aaron Schroeder (1926-2009). Aaron wrote 17 songs for Elvis Presley, now that's getting some exposure! Beginning in 1940, Mr Schroeder wrote over 2000 songs; he co-wrote five #1 songs for Presley, one "It's Now or Never" which #92 on Billboard's 2008 Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs. He wrote Gene Pitney's "Only Love Can Break a Heart" and "Town Without Pity". He wrote Bobby Vee's "Rubber Ball" and the Staple Singers' "Hammer and Nails". He also wrote more but you can search for further information on your own. Have you used Bing yet?? Try it.
