Sadie
Vimmerstedt is my grandmother and I was just surfing around
the net looking up stuff about her. It's so nice to be able to
go on the net and read about your grandma. |

The exact title is:
"I Wanna Be Around" this is the tune closely associated
to Tony Bennett.
She wrote Johnny a handwritten note(actually on 2 pages taken from
a daily calender) and mailed it to him. She actually mailed it to"
Johnny Mercer-Songwriter-New York"..the post office forwarded it to
the ASCAP office.
Two excellent research sources>
"My Huckleberry Friend" book- Bob Bach and Ginger
Mercer. Llye Stuart publishers. 1982. page 198-199(includes photos of
handwritten note)as well as the lyrics.
In March of 1971, Johnny Mercer appeared at the "92nd Street
YMHA" in New York City for Maurice Levine's "Lyrics and
Lyricists series". Fortunately the program was recorded, and it
partially appears on DRG CD #5176 as "An Evening With Johnny
Mercer".. on this CD you can hear Johnny talk about the pieces
origins.
The CD and Books should be readily available either at the library
or though stores.

I am researching Johnny's collaboration with Sadie
Vimmerstedt, who cowrote the words and music to
"I wanna hold your hand" (released in 1959). This
propelled Sadie to the national spotlight, which I am
researching along with her relationship with Johhny.
Any and all relevant information and sources requested.
Thanks!
