Title: A LAZY Portrait of Johnny
Review: I just bought and began reading "Portrait of Johnny" by Gene Lees, and I am furious.What a lazy book.Page seven: "Whether Lerner set the words to Loewe's music or Loewe set the music to Lerner's words I don't know." HOW HARD CAN THAT BE TO FIND OUT?Page eleven: "And to this day I do not know if Johnny Mercer knew that Patton was his distant cousin." WELL, DID HE EVER MENTION IT TO HIS DAUGHTER OR ANYONE ELSE YOU INTERVIEWED?Page fourteen: "...Mercer grew up...at the intersection of Lincoln and Gwuinnett Streets. Street names in Savannah predate the Civil War: the Lincoln in question is not Abraham, and Button Gwuinnett was Georgia's delegate to the Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence." AND FOR WHOM IS LINCOLN STREET NAMED?I read a positive review of this book and was looking forward to reading it. I am ready to throw it out the window, and I want my money back.Kathy Moore
