Not
only
was
Johnny
Mercer
a
prolific
songwriter
-
he
was
lyricist
for
more
popular
songs
than
any
songwriter
in
history,
he
also
co-founded
Capitol
Records
and
was
a
stylish
singer
whose
genial
vocal
style
proved
popular
in
it’s
own
right
with
4
chart-toppers
in
America.
The
Pied
Pipers
were
a
popular
vocal
group
with
female
leads
Jo
Stafford
(1942-1944),
then
June
Hutton,
who
became
famous
with
Tommy
Dorsey
in
the
early
1940s.
Signed
to
Capitol,
their
perfect
phrasing
and
modern
harmonic
blending
of
four
voices
gave
them
12
Top
Thirty
hits
throughout
the
1940s.
During
1943
and
1944
the
Pied
Pipers
were
regulars
on
Johnny
Mercer’s
radio
show
resulting
in
a
ready
made
combination
for
recording
purposes.
After
the
Pipers
separated
June
Hutton
worked
as
a
solo
attraction,
appearing
regularly
on
Frank
Sinatra’s
TV
show
(her
husband
Axel
Stordahl
was
Sinatra’s
Musical
Director)
while
continuing
a
recording
career
with
various
labels.
Most
of
the
28
re-mastered
tracks
here
are
