: What do you consider the definitive biography of Johnny? I'd like very much to learn more about the man behind
those dulcet tones. Many thanks,
: Jackie..

At this point in time there is just one book that has ever been published:

"Our Huckleberry Friend-The Life, Times and Lyrics of Johnny Mercer."
Bob Bach and Ginger Mercer (Johnny's late wife- Ginger passed in 1994).
Published 1982 by Lyle Stuart. If your local library does not have it, they can get it through interlibrary loan. It is also
still in print at about $20.
in hardbound edition.
