Johnny Mercer's sort of a local hero here. I LOOOVE his songs. "Come Rain or Come Shine" is quite possibly the SEXIEST SONG EVER.

A Johnn Mercer/Harold Arlen show would be amazing...except most people don't really know who he is...but they know his songs.

Yeah, I love Etta James's version of "Come Rain or Come Shine" ---

When I was at Georgia State, we had a Johnny Mercer exhibition in the library museum for, like, two years. I think you're right that people really have no idea how much American songwriting owes to him.
