Johnny Mercer (1910-1976) was born John H. Mercer in Savannah, Georgia, the son of George Anderson Mercer. He was educated in Savannah public schools and at Woodberry Forest School in Virginia. He worked with his father in the real estate loan business before heading to New York in 1929 with the Savannah Town Theater group for a National Little Theater contest. He remained in New York to try for a stage career. He became a well-known lyricist and moved to California, where he produced many hit songs for motion picture musical productions.
John Herndon Mercer (1909-1976), a native of Savannah, Georgia, was one of the foremost figures of 20th century American popular music. His song catalog includes many numbers that have become American classics, and his activities as lyricist, composer, performer and businessman span a period of nearly five decades. Throughout his life, Mercer painted in watercolor for his own enjoyment and relaxation. Some of his work was from photographs.
Johnny Mercer was an American songwriter, singer, and composer. He was born John H. Mercer in Savannah, Georgia on 18 November 1909 and was the son of George Anderson and Lillian Mercer. He was educated in the Savannah public schools, the Woodberry Forest School in Virginia, and was destined to follow his family's tradition of attending Princeton University, but was unable to do so when his father's real estate business experienced financial setbacks in the late 1920s. As a result, Mercer began to help with his father's real estate business until he became bored with it and moved to New York in 1928 where he tried to pursue a career in show business. Mercer was able to earn roles in traveling performances, but soon made his mark in composing songs and lyrics for the variety shows. He soon became a well-known lyricist and moved to California where he produced many hit songs for motion picture musical productions and Broadway shows. Mercer died 25 June 1976 after losing a battle to brain cancer and is buried in his family's plot in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah.
John Herndon Mercer (1909-1976) was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia. He moved to new York City in the late 1920s to pursue an acting career, and moved to Hollywood in 1935 to write songs and act in films. During his career he performed as a vocalist with the Benny Goodman and Paul Whiteman bands, co-founded Capitol Records, recorded songs for Capitol and other labels, and became one of America's foremost lyricists, with a documented catalog of over 1,700 songs.
Johnny Mercer was born in Savannah, Georgia on November 18, 1909. He spent his childhood in Savannah, then attended Woodbury Forest School in Virginia from 1922-1927. It was here that he wrote his first song at the age of 15. After graduating from Woodbury, he worked at his father's real estate business before traveling to New York as an actor with a theater group. He returned to New York in 1929 and 1930 to continue acting, but continued to write songs. Mercer wrote "Out of Breath and Scared to Death of You" for the Garrick Gaieties of 1930, and went from there to become one of America's major songwriters of the 1930s through the 1960s. (He was also active as an actor from the 1930s on, but not as much as he was active as a songwriter.) Mercer mostly worked in New York during the early 1930s, then moved to the west coast in 1935 after accepting an offer from RKO. In 1942, he founded Capitol Records with Glenn Wallichs and Buddy DeSylva. Mercer served as the company's first president. He continued writing music into the 1970s, despite the lack of films requiring popular music in their scores. Mercer underwent surgery for a brain tumor in October of 1975, and never recovered from the operation. He died on June 25, 1976 and was survived by his wife Elizabeth "Ginger" (Meehan) Mercer, to whom he was married in 1931, and their two children, Georgia Amanda (known as "Mandy") and John Jefferson (known as "Jeff").
Ginger Mercer was born Elizabeth Meltzer on June 25, 1909 in Brooklyn, New York, one of three daughters born to Anna and Joseph Meltzer. Specially gifted from childhood, Ginger studied piano and dance and made her stage debut at age 16 under the stage name "Ginger Meehan." From the mid-1920s through approximately 1930 Ginger appeared as a dancer in numerous shows, including Honeymoon Lane (1926), in which Kate Smith made her debut, and the 1930 production of Ruth Selwyn's Nine-Fifteen Review. While a member of the cast of the Garrick Gaieties of 1930 Ginger met an aspiring actor named Johnny Mercer, who had moved to New York from Savannah, Georgia to try his hand at a show business career. Mercer had hoped to win a role in the Gaieties, but instead placed one of his songs in the show and met Ginger, his future wife. Their courtship continued throughout 1930 and 1931, complicated by the separations they endured as each of their shows toured from city to city, and the two were finally married in New York City on June 8, 1931. They raised two children, Georgia Amanda (known as "Mandy," the inspiration for the Mercer song "Mandy is Two") and John Jefferson (known as "Jeff"), during a marriage that lasted 45 years, until Johnny's death on June 25, 1976. Following her husband's death, Ginger traveled widely and spent much of her time promoting her husband's legacy. In 1982, she founded the Johnny Mercer Foundation, a charitable foundation that awards grants to songwriters and contributes funds to charities and non-profit organizations in the arts, to selected medical sciences, and to projects commemorating Johnny Mercer.

Research materials that Gene Lees amassed in researching and writing of his biography of songwriter Johnny Mercer (Portrait of Johnny: the life of John Herndon Mercer, 2004) make up the papers, 1924-2004. Lees collected source material about the late songwriter, but the bulk of the collection dates from the period when he researched and wrote the book, 1990-2004. Subjects include Mercer's family history, his professional career as a songwriter, and his influence on entertainers and colleagues. Lees consulted a number of people for their personal recollections, including Nancy Mercer Gerard, Mercer's niece; Nick Mamalakis, Mercer family attorney; and the family friend Joan Clarke. His correspondence with the entertainer Steve Allen sheds light on the social life of Johnny Mercer and Allen's great admiration for Mercer's songwriting talent.

This collection consists of correspondence pertaining to Johnny Mercer's assumption of the debts of his father's company, G.A. Mercer Company, which failed in 1929. Chatham Savings & Loan Company of Savannah was the Liquidating Agent for the repayment; these papers are from the files of that company which was acquired by the Savannah Bank and Trust Company. These papers were presented to the Georgia Historical Society with the following comment: "a remarkable demonstration of a son's loyalty to his father."

Title:
Johnny and Ginger Mercer papers, 1925 - ca. 1992.
The Johnny and Ginger Mercer Papers contain manuscripts, photographs, sheet music, recordings, printed materials, and memorabilia documenting the early careers (1920s through about 1931) of both Johnny and Ginger Mercer; their courtship and marriage (1930 and 1931); and Johnny Mercer's career as a songwriter, performer, and businessman as it continued after their marriage; Johnny Mercer's work as a lyricist. Other topics covered in the Papers include Johnny Mercer's Savannah roots, including information about his parents, siblings, and other relatives; Ginger Mercer's family; the family that Johnny and Ginger established in California, with their children Amanda and Jeff; and Ginger Mercer's life and activities following her husband's death. The Johnny and Ginger Mercer Papers (accession number M1995-15) were acquired by Georgia State University in 1995, nearly 14 years after Mrs. Mercer donated to GSU the Johnny Mercer Papers (M1981-01). The Johnny Mercer Papers (M1981-01) originated in Mercer's studio, housed in an outbuilding at the couple's Bel-Air home; they focus more on Johnny Mercer's professional activities, although his family and personal life are also represented. The Johnny and Ginger Mercer Papers (M1995-15), on the other hand, were housed in the living quarters of the Mercer's Bel-Air home, and although they document Johnny Mercer's career and professional activities, they also include more materials relating to the personal lives of both Johnny and Ginger Mercer. Oversize items and non-manuscript materials, including photographs, books, artifacts, sheet music, and recordings, have been separated from the rest of the collection. Photographs, books, sheet music and recordings are indexed separately. Books are also listed at the end of this finding aid, along with artifacts and oversize materials. Researchers should note that the books in this collection were received by GSU in 1995, nearly 19 years after Johnny Mercer's death. Although all of them came from the homes that Ginger and Johnny Mercer had owned and lived in, other individuals had visited and resided in the homes during the years following Mercer's death. Therefore it is not possible to absolutely confirm which books were acquired or used by the Mercers during Johnny Mercer's life, as opposed to books that may have been added to the collection at a later date, perhaps by friends, relatives, or visitors.
