I Remember You

I Remember You

Mandy Mercer-Neder
3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Over a career spanning almost forty years, Johnny Mercer was one of the world's most celebrated and beloved composers and singers, co-creator of classics like "Moon River," "That Old Black Magic," and "The Days of Wine and Roses." A son of the Deep South , he was a tangle of violent contradictions. He had a streak of anti-Semitism yet he married a Jewish showgirl from Brooklyn. He considered blacks inferior to whites yet one of his closest friends was Nat King Cole, and by founding Capitol Records he did more, arguably, to help African-American musicians In the 1940s and 50s than any other man in America. I REMEMBER YOU tells the story of a man of great nobility and bottomless generosity, yet who was forever haunted by the demons of his childhood. It's a portrait that could only have been painted by someone who knew him intimately over a period of many years: his daughter.
