Johnny Mercer:: The Life, Times and Song Lyrics of Our Huckleberry Friend (Paperback) by Ginger Mercer

This updated, paperback version of Johnny Mercer: The Life, Times and Song Lyrics contains many newly released photographs as well as stories written and illustrated by Mercer and some of his childhood friends. In addition, the lists of Mercer’s songs (including songs he contributed to the movies) have been reviewed, updated, and expanded. Other new sections in this book list the songs Mercer wrote for theatrical productions and the songs he wrote that are currently available on compact discs. The volume of both of these is well worth the purchase price alone. It is amazing what influence Johnny Mercer had on America through his music and how that influence is still alive and well (and being used!) today.
