code PS 1331

Mostly Mercer is a 1986 tribute compilation featuring various artists performing the songs of lyricist Johnny Mercer. Produced by Ken Bloom and Mark Sendroff and originally released on Painted Smiles Records, it brings together small-band arrangements and vocal performances byartists like Rosemary Clooney, Eydie Gormé, Mimi Hines, Jennifer Holliday, Anita O’Day, Kaye Ballard, Nancy LaMott, Jim Bailey, Sara Krieger, and others. The collection mixes well-known Mercer hits—such as “Blues in the Night” and “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby”—with lesser-known gems and two debut recordings ("Ask Me Again" and "Time, You Old Gypsy Man"). Its charm lies in the diversity of voices and interpretations, all unified by homage to Mercer's rich songwriting legacy.
