	Johnny Mercer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was only when Mercer moved to Hollywood in 1935 that his lyrics began to display the combination of sophisticated wit and southern regional venacular that characterize some of his best songs.
		In the 1940s Mercer was introducted by the Nordstrom Sisters to backers and in 1942, he was part of the founding trio of Capitol Records which became an industry giant.
		Mercer was a direct descendant of Revolutionary War General Hugh Mercer, and through him was also a distant cousin of General George S. Patton.

		Mercer also sang and composed for Benny Goodman's orchestra and he worked frequently on radio with another acquaintance, Bob Crosby, singing for his orchestra.
		With Mercer as the company's top singer and the radio show spotlighting the label's new stars, Stan Kenton, Jo Stafford, (and her Pied Pipers) The Nat King Cole Trio, Margaret Whiting and The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra featuring his new vocalist Frank...something or other, the new company began to take off.
		Mercer certainly was a busy man in the 1940's with over 250 songs published, nearly 60 hits (several sung by him), a few hit films and Broadway musicals, a top radio show, an Academy Award, and a successful record label, which he used as a platform for his seemingly endless creations.

		Johnny Mercer's main claim to immortality is his incredible songwriting output, penning the lyrics or music and lyrics to roughly 1,500 songs.
		Yet Mercer was also a successful singer, with a relaxed, Southern-accented, jazzy, rhythmically agile delivery that resulted in several major hits in the 1940s.
		At first, Mercer was torn between acting and songwriting, but having failed to land a part in Garrick Gaities in 1930, he ended up writing his first hit, "Out of Breath, Scared to Death Of You," for the show.
