Review: Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer, "Two of a Kind: Expanded Edition"
Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer were, indeed, two of a kind. Though Darin is known first and foremost as one of the most dynamic performers of all time, and Mercer as one of the most prodigiously talented songwriters of all time, Bobby was no slouch in the songwriting department, and Mercer was a remarkably engaging vocalist. Both men were entrepreneurs and keen talent spotters who added immeasurably to the fabric of American music and culture. They came together on record but once, for a 1961

Ace In The Hole: Omnivore Reissues Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer Classic
"'Like peas in a pod and birds of a feather,'" sing Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer in the album's title song.

Holiday Gift Guide Review: Frank Sinatra, "World on a String"
Leave it to Noel Coward to sum it all up. In his introduction to Frank Sinatra's June 14, 1958 performance at the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo, the famous British playwright-actor-songwriter-raconteur observed of his American friend's on-screen performances, "I've never yet known him to strike a false note." As Coward undoubtedly knew, the same was true of Sinatra's musical recordings, sung with the emotional honesty and unvarnished directness of a great actor and communicator. From his
Yes, Sir-ee! Kritzerland to Release "The Gang's All Here" Score Featuring Benny Goodman
By 1943, Busby Berkeley was a Hollywood veteran who had choreographed the dance sequences that would make him famous for decades. He had also directed several classic films such as the Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney vehicles Babes In Arms and Strike Up The Band. However, he had never directed a full motion picture in color, where his choreographed tableaux could be more vividly realized. That all changed with The Gang's All Here. This famous musical has never had its soundtrack officially

Holiday Gift Guide Review: Margaret Whiting, "Dream: The Lost Recordings"
Margaret Whiting was a singer's singer. Possessed of a clarion vocal instrument capable of both great exultation and deep longing, a performance by Whiting guaranteed a path to the heart of a song. It's no wonder that Johnny Mercer, a songwriter of no small stature, made sure that the 18-year old songbird was one of the first artists signed to his fledgling Capitol Records label. Mercer had known Whiting since her childhood as the daughter of his collaborator, composer Richard Whiting, and
