Johnny Mercer's Music Shop
I Didn't Know About You
by
Johnny Mercer's Music Shop is a musical radio program hosted by songwriter Johnny Mercer. Its setting evokes a welcoming music shop, where Mercer introduces songs and performers in a relaxed, conversational style.
The program centers on popular music, with vocal performances and orchestral accompaniment. Mercer’s presence connects the selections, bringing the perspective of a songwriter and entertainer to a broadcast built around listening to songs rather than following a dramatic plot.
Warm and tuneful, the show offers a snapshot of mid-century radio variety: familiar melodies, polished performances, and Mercer’s easygoing musical personality. It suits listeners who enjoy classic popular song and the intimate feel of a host guiding an audience through a program of music.
