Bing Sings The Johnny Mercer Songbook

Bing Sings The Johnny Mercer Songbook

This new CD compilation celebrates Bing Crosby's recordings of songs composed by his friend and frequent collaborator, Johnny Mercer. The recordings span more than two decades - starting with a rare 1934 radio performance of 'P.S. I Love You.' Other highlights include 'Lazy Bones,' a duet with Louis Armstrong, and several of Bing's Decca hits like 'Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive,' which features the Andrews Sisters, and 'Mr. Meadowlark,' a duet with Mercer. Also included among the 22 selections are 10 previously unissued recordings, including 'That Old Black Magic,' 'Jeepers Creepers,' 'Glow Worm,' and 'Autumn Leaves.'
