Johnny Mercer - All The Hits & More 1938-52 Johnny Mercer
Pickup available at Dawson Street
Usually ready within 24-48 hours - Pre-order items available on day of release.
Johnny Mercer, born in Savannah, Georgia,
was a prolific and highly successful
songwriter, contributing dozens of hits to the
Great American Songbook, often as a
lyricist, although his background was very
different from most of his peers from New
York’s Jewish immigrant community.
He was one of the co-founders of Capitol
Records in 1942.
He was also a singer, recording largely of
course for Capitol, and recording mostly with
the Pied Pipers vocal group and The Paul
Weston Orchestra.
This 50-track 2-CD collection features all his
29 career hits as an artist, plus other
selected A & B sides from early Decca
releases, and then from his Capitol singles
during the 1940s.
Among his hits were the No. 1s Ac-Cent-
Tchu-Ate The Positive”, “Candy”, and
“Personality”.
Along with The Pied Pipers and Paul Weston,
it features performances with Bing Crosby,
Jo Stafford, Margaret Whiting, The Benny
Goodman Orchestra, The King Cole Trio,
Freddie Slack’s Orchestra, and Wingy
Manone’s Dixieland Band.
He was an influential and multi-talented
personality, and this collection highlights
what was maybe the lesser-known side of his
extraordinary contribution to pop music over
the years.
