The Songwriters Hall of Fame has unveiled “The Power of Song: A Songwriters Hall of Fame Exhibit” at L.A.’s GRAMMY Museum. From now until 9/4, visitors to the exhibit can view, um, scores of never-before-seen artifacts linked to some of pop culture’s most enduring songs and their creators.
Highlights from the exhibit include original handwritten lyrics for Diane Warren’s “How Do I Live,” Steve Miller’s “Fly Like An Eagle” and Jimmy Webb’s “Wichita Lineman” alongside items from songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, John Mellencamp, Smokey Robinson, Carole Bayer Sager, James Taylor and Taylor Swift, among others—as well as musical instruments including Irving Berlin’s piano, Stevie Wonder’s harmonica, Terry Lewis’ bass guitar and drum machine, and Jimmy Jam’s keytar.
Honestly, they had us at “keytar.” For museum hours and ticket info, go here.
