1909 Johnny Mercer – US composer and lyricist (That Old Black Magic, Autumn Leaves, Moon River, On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe, Days of Wine and Roses, You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby, Hooray for Hollywood, Jeepers Creepers) He wrote or co-wrote over a thousand songs. He was featured in the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Of course we read the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil together. I wonder if he ever thought that Jeepers Creepers would go on to be the theme song for a series of horror movies 70 years later?
