Johnny Mercer wrote more lyrics than any other song writer, more than one thousand
in all. His amiable style of singing emphasizing his Southern drawl made him very
popular. He was at one time master of ceremonies and singer for the Paul Whiteman
Band and by 1939 was singing on the Benny Goodman Radio Show. The recordings on this
disc come from his own popular radio show Johnny Mercer's Music Shop which also featured
Jo Stafford and The Pied Pipers with June Hutton (Jo Stafford was originally one
of The Pied Pipers but when she went solo her place was taken by June Hutton).
