JUDY GARLAND & JOHNNY MERCER, 'THE DREAMS ON ME'. A LOVE AFFAIR.

A brief video clip from 'Clint Eastwood Presents Johnny Mercer: The Dreams On Me'. Judy & Johnny shared a relationship for over 30 years ... She was, in every sense of the word, his Muse ... inspiring his love & creativity. In Greek mythology, the Muses inspired the creation of music, poetry & literature. Judy wrote poetry. She sang songs. She told stories. With these gifts, she created the POWER TO INSPIRE. Shakespeare wrote: "Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth than those old nine ..." Judy is ten times more in worth. Johnny Mercer knew this, & wrote a song for her 'I Remember You'. "I wrote it for Judy Garland. I always had such a crush on Garland I couldnt think straight, so I wrote this song." Savannah Georgia born man-of-music Johnny Mercer is a recognized composer-lyricist, a vocalist, and a star-discoverer.
