Leib was involved with the movie "
Ode to Billie Joe" which featured the hit "
Ode To Billie Joe" by
Bobbie Gentry. He also worked with Herb Alpert, Jerry Moss, The We Five, Chris Montez and Ralph Williams/The Marauders during their early years at
A&M Records. In 1966, Leib was hired by
Randy Wood to produce the album "Songs of Protest and Anti-Protest" by "Chris Lucey" (who was in actuality
Bobby Jameson) for Surrey Records. In 1967, Leib produced a twelve-song L.P. for a group called The Brownstones that featured top session drummer
Sandy Konikoff along with vocalist
Aaron Brownstone, guitarist
Dick Douglas and bassist
Tom Hankins. He was attempting to create a "supergroup", but the vocalist was killed in a motorcycle accident and
Konikoff went on to play with
Taj Mahal and others. Collectors are looking for a copy of this Leib-produced missing LP, but it is believed that ABC Records destroyed all copies. Leib later became involved with the
L.A. Street Scene, a yearly festival held in the streets of downtown L.A. that was the precursor to the modern super festival. Leib collected
Ferrari automobiles and belonged to a Ferrari club. He was also a classic (antique) automobile aficionado. In the 1990s, Leib produced an album of female vocal
Christmas songs. Leib married, divorced, and later suffered a fatal
heart attack. He is survived by two biological sons (Jason Leib and Lucas Leib) and one adopted son, Jason Lawrence. ==References==
