Friday 12/09/2005 10:00:19am Name: Fred Day Homepage: E-Mail: opuszero@yahoo.com Referred By: Just Surfed In City/Country: Orlando, Florida, USA Comments: Re: Song Of India: Johnny wrote a superb lyric to this old (originally Russian) song, by Rimsky-Korzakoff. Mario Lanza recorded it in 1953, and beautifully!! Mel Torme, in his autobio, mentions that recording, and mentions those "miraculous lyrics" by Johnny. I've never heard anyone else sing those wonderful lyrics. I wonder if Johnny wrote those lyrics especially for Mario Lanza?? I suppose that is possible. Curious. If you've never heard that Lanza recording, you should!! It is on CD. It is superb, in every way!! Ciao.

Am I correct?? I've never heard the verse sung in English. By the way, Robert Goulet recorded the entire song, in the original French, and it is superb!! C'est magnifique!! (to quote a Cole Porter song title). Ciao.

Now I teach privately and some of my adult students learn French and have shown a strong interest in learning with such songs which they hear from my CD. The home page (in French) was quite difficult to find and so was the song (in French). I wish I could find other French songs in French on the internet. Especially E. Piaf. thank you. Leda

Truth or rumor? Also, how about his youth -I once interviewed a pal of his from the early days in Manhattan who said Johnny arrived a stow-away on a ship that came from North Carolina or some southern state. Huh? Mr.Tinturin went on to say that Johnny had lived with his family for his first year or so in NYC. Wondering if all this is truth or lore. Great site - it represents lots of work and dedication.

Monday 10/31/2005 11:04:36pm Name: Chris Canzoneri Homepage: http://www.canzjazz.com E-Mail: chris@canzjazz.com Referred By: Just Surfed In City/Country: Chicago/USA Comments: Our family always loved the great American popular songs. We would sometimes sit around the dining room table on Sunday evenings with a thick book of lyrics that had been compiled over the decades by my aunts. After hearing big bands accompanying vocals by Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams and others, I took up the trombone, which became the focus of my life. Johnny Mercer, who worked with the Whiteman band and on the radio with Benny Goodman and Glen Gray, wrote a substantial share of the lyrics to the songs that drew me into the serious study of music. To me, it's a tragedy that the world today is either missing or ignoring that kind of talent.

Monday 10/17/2005 11:14:31am Name: Ray Ratajczak Homepage: E-Mail: raymercer726@aol.com Referred By: Search Engine, Just Surfed In City/Country: Baltimore MD Comments: Johhny Mercer made me fall in love with music. My first experience was a recording of his of "My Sugar Is So Refined", flip side "Ugly Chile". My mother would restrain me from singing "Ugly Chile" on the bus. Now, a few (ahem) years later, I perform locally under the name "Ray Mercer". That should say it all.

Tuesday 08/30/2005 2:32:06am Name: Robert W Woolstrum Homepage: E-Mail: robertwoolstrum@yahoo.com Referred By: Just Surfed In City/Country: Meadville, PA Comments: I saw a movie about his life when I was about 13 yrs old, I'm now 62, and I remember the movie very well, like I saw it recently. It affected me emotionally, and directed me towards my love of music. I listen to music every day of the week, at all hours. My favorite is "Doo-Wop", or known then as R & B mainly. I discovered the "blues" before my teen years, and Doo-Wop followed. Like, Mercer, I play the "Ivory" (keyboards) but have experience on trumpet and drums. Always wanted to play guitar, but I left that to my son, who does very well on his strings. When I first heard "Moon River" I knew it was written by an experienced songwriter, but then I didn't know it was Mercer. I liked the Jerry Butler version better than Andy Wiliams, but both are good. And how I remember "Glow Little Glow Worm" and many of his other songs. Although not in my era, I even liked Hoagie, in the movies. Bob W.

Yes it was named after Johnny Mercer and it was destroyed by hurricane after hurricane. It has since been rebuilt out of a concrete material so that hurricanes can no longer damage it. I used to work with the girl that her in-laws own the pier. Yes, I lived in Wilmington, NC and moved away for some crazy reason. I do miss it and I do recommend Wilmington as a vacation spot. Lots of beaches, lots to do. Take care.

I believe that he liked that song so much that is why he named his theater in Branson, Missouri "The Moon River Theater". I am a big fan of Andy Wiiliams and also Johnny Mercer. I wouldn't be surprised if they knew each other and were friends.

On the day my brother died in The Netherlands, April 19 1999, I went to Susannah's performance in Blues Alley ( Washington DC)to find comfort and found it, she dedicated "Some one is watching over you" to my brother. We talked that evening and had I only asked her , what can I do for you? I am saddened by the fact that we loose the best of the best, while needing them the most. wished I could have done more for Susannah and Pam.

I was trying to get the lyrics to "Show Your Linen Miss Richardson" and stumbled in to this site. The wife of a classmate of mine lived across the street from JM many years ago; when she told me this I was green with envy. She said he was just a neighbor and she knew he wrote songs. I tried to explain to her that she was in the presence of an icon, but I could not gather the words that would convey my envy and disbelief. Johnny was one of the two most memorable troubadors I ever listened to, the other being Hoagy. How fortunate that their works will live forever thanks to recordings. Gotta find the British discs. This is a great site, many thanks.
