Celebrating The Johnny Mercer Centennial
Lyricist and composer Johnny Mercer — born Nov. 18, 1909 — wrote or co-wrote more than 1,000 songs, including American Songbook standards like Skylark, That Old Black Magic and Come Rain or Come Shine. His Academy Awards tally includes a statue for what`s possibly his most famous tune, Moon River. Fresh Air marks the anniversary of his birth with an in-studio concert starring Rebecca Kilgore and Dave Frishberg.
