    This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

    "Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

    Episode 138

    JOHNNY MERCER'S MUSIC SHOP & SWINGTIME

    Episode 138 This week we join Johnny Mercer on two of his shows. The
    first show is "Mercer's Music Shop" from June 12, 1944, on NBC and also
    broadcast on the Armed Forces Radio Service. Paul Weston and his
    orchestra and Jo Stafford, along with June Hutton and the Pied Pipers,
    joined Johnny with their musical magic to bring entertainment and cheer
    to our troops abroad.

    Johnny performs "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby?" and "San Fernando
    Valley." The band brings "My Blue Heaven," and Jo Stafford sings "It
    Could Happen to You." The Pipers add "Love, Go Away," and "Dream,"
    Johnny's great 1944 recording, composition, and theme song.

    On "Swingtime" from 1945 and also on the AFRS network Johnny is joined
    by Mel Torme and the Mel-Tones and the AFRS Swing Band led by Murray
    McEachern. Highlights on this show are Johnny's "I'm Gonna See My Baby
    (When I Get Home on Victory Bay)" and "Candy." The band swings with
    "King Porter Stomp," and Mel and the Mel-Tones do "Eventide." This show
    is produced without an audience, but I'm sure our troops didn't care.

    Johnny's career took off when he wrote words and music for "I'm An Old
    Cowhand from the Rio Grande," inspired by a trip through Texas and
    performed by Bing Crosby in the movie "Rhythm on the Range" in 1936.
    Johnny, of course, became one of the greatest and most creative and
    prolific lyricists in the Great American Songbook, with songs like
    "Blues in the Night," "Lazy Bones," "Accentuate the Positive," "Jeepers
    Creepers," "Moon River," "The Glow-Worm," "Autumn Leaves," "Hooray for
    Hollywood," "Goody Goody," and "And the Angels Sing." Songs with lyrics
    by Mercer numbered over 1,500. including songs for films and broadway,
    and he received nineteen Academy Award nominations, winning four.

    As for the great Pied Pipers, Paul Weston described them best in a few
    lines about them in Episode 56 in my archives: Weston observed that The
    Pipers were ahead of their time. He said that "Their vocal arrangements
    were like those for a sax section and a brass section, and they would
    interweave, singing unison or sometimes sing against each other's parts.
    It was revolutionary and we'd never heard anything like it." That
    comment led Tommy Dorsey to hire the group to sing on the Raleigh Kool
    cigarettes program. All in all the group had some 13 charted hits with
    Dorsey, 9 of them with Sinatra. When Johnny Mercer's Capitol records
    signed The Pipers in 1945, 12 more hits resulted.

    Mercer and the Pipers were virtually "Too Marvelous for Words," still
    another song with lyrics by Johnny.
