Many do not know that Eddie Barclay connected Blossom with Michel Legrand in Paris and she in turn connected Michel with @JohnnyMercerJMF and that is how Once Upon A Summertime was born. Johnny Mercer took this photo of Michel in London.

I like to think that Mom would be happy that her music related archives are housed with the Johnny Mercer Collection at Georgia State. She adored Johnny, loved working with him on TOP BANANA and enjoyed singing his songs. This was during rehearsals for TOP BANANA.
