Description
Four of Mercer's eighteen nominations received Academy Awards for Best Song and of his one hundred hits, of the thirty-six that made the Top Ten, fourteen climbed to No. 1. As an entertainer he sang on four songs to reach the top spot while also hosting radio shows and appearing on television. Exhaustively researched, Glenn T. Eskew's biography improves upon earlier popular treatments of the Savannah, Georgia-born songwriter to produce a sophisticated, insightful, evenhanded examination of one of America's most popular and successful chart-toppers.
