This new CD compilation celebrates Bing Crosby's recordings of songs composed by his friend and frequent collaborator, Johnny Mercer. The recordings span more than two decades - starting with a rare 1934 radio performance of 'P.S. I Love You.' Other highlights include 'Lazy Bones,' a duet with Louis Armstrong, and several of Bing's Decca hits like 'Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive,' which features the Andrews Sisters, and 'Mr. Meadowlark,' a duet with Mercer. Also included among the 22 selections are 10 previously unissued recordings, including 'That Old Black Magic,' 'Jeepers Creepers,' 'Glow Worm,' and 'Autumn Leaves.'
