(updated 15 April 03) Introduction Who Can Ever Forget CD's (voice of Johnny Mercer) Cassettes(Voice of Johnny Mercer) CD's - Broadway Shows and London Shows CD's - Movies CD Compilations(Primarily other Vocalists singing Mercer Lyrics) CAPITOL SINGS: a series of Compilations CD's of other Vocalists singing Primarily Johnny Mercer Music CD's featuring only other musicians LP's - Johnny Mercer with Bing Crosby CARAVAN BROADCAST'S Madhattan Room Broadcasts Johnny Mercer's Music Shop Other Albums - Mercer Singing Broadway Shows and Movies Albums Other Vocalists Albums Available Books Sheet Music Home Videos **** Any additions are appreciated! Thanks Steve Taksler
The best resource for songs currently available on CD is posted at: http://www.johnnymercer.com/ralph.htm courtesy of Ralph Mitchell The intent of this list is to give some representation as to which CD's (and to a very limited extent - 33 RPM & 45RPM Recordings) that are available to celebrate the life and music of Johnny Mercer. All of the LP's(33's) are out of print and a few of the CD's are now also; so it may take some time to find this all. All recordings are verified; as I have them in my collection. There is also a section devoted to 78RPM recordings, although these are not readily available. The main intent of this list is to list Johnny Mercer singing his own recordings. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT JOHNNY MERCER WAS A VERY POPULAR SINGER AND HE DID SING THE WORKS OF OTHER ARTISTS. There is no definitive discography of his works at this point in time and no verifiable source to document all the tunes that he created; published or non-published. (the most valuable source is the three books written by Don Stubblebine regarding published sheet music, from cinema and broadway.) References are taken from CD liners or LP covers. There are many, many other recordings by artists not represented in this compilation. This is just a start, for either the beginning collector of his music or the more advanced collector. Please feel free to make copies and distribute this list. This is just a hobby and I
enjoy sharing it with others.
