John Herndon Mercer (November 18, 1909 - June 25, 1976) was an American lyricist, songwriter and singer. He was also a record label executive, who co-founded Capitol Records with music industry businessman Buddy DeSylva and Glenn E. Wallichs.
He is best known as a tin pan alley lyricist, but he also composed music. He was also a popular singer who recorded his own songs as well as those written by others. From the mid-1930s through the mid-1950s, many of the songs Mercer wrote and performed were among the most popular hits of the time. He wrote the lyrics to more than fifteen hundred songs, including compositions for movies and Broadway shows. He received nineteen Academy Award nominations, and won four Best Original Song Oscars.
Wow, how I would have loved to have watched a full version of The Ray Charles Singers performing 'Autumn Leaves' live. They sing that song so beautifully in that small clip
This is pure joy
This is a broadcast to be savored and treasured. Mercer and Como are GREAT!
AT 82 I MIGHT HAVE SEEN LIVE....REGARDLESS...NO LONGER SUCH TALENT ON DISPLAY NOWADAYS....SOOO SAAADDD
Yeah, Johnny Mercer was the Man! The Norman Rockwell of the Great American Songbook!
Hey Cost this show is just fantastic and I'm loving it!!!!!!
Something special is about too happen when Mercer is around
A message to people of the future. Currently we do not have shows any more that can come close to the entertainment you see here. It has defined the culture. We now have a vast waste land of talent. Most think it is a time that will never be seen again. Music defines the culture and as I write this the culture and society stinks to high heaven. If you do not have this kind of entertainment...do something about it. 08/07/2020

You are welcome! Yes, it was in color
Oh I forgot to say thank you....
You are welcome!
Do you know how to access KMH tapes? Ceremony of Carols with Bernstein and St. Thomas Boy Choir.
I remember a couple of years ago some KMH' DVD was on Ebay. But I'm not sure it's still there
The sweaters....thank god the Beatles came along.
It's been all downhill since...
