Comment:

People sometimes praise songwriters by saying they should have their faces on a stamp. Well, Johnny Mercer already [i]does[/i], which should give you some idea of his stratospheric status in American music. He's written a jaw-dropping number of standards, from "Summer Wind" to "That Old Black Magic," from "Autumn Leaves" to "Dream," and dozens more, providing the likes of Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Tony Bennett with career highlights along the way and waxing some damn fine versions himself. But when you're dealing with a songwriter who's been nominated for 19 Academy Awards®, where do you begin? Relax, we've got you covered — we already combed the massive Mercer archives to find a fulsome pack of precious moments culled from the crooners, musicals, and movies that have been touched by that one-of-a-kind Mercer magic.
