I början av 1940-talet var han en av grundarna av skivbolaget Capitol Records, och han har också fått äran av en stjärna på Hollywood Walk of Fame just utanför skivbolagets byggnad. I de flesta fall brukar textförfattaren presentera en färdig text till den som ska komponera musiken. Mercer fick emellertid också uppdrag att skriva texter till redan etablerade och mycket populära melodier som Laura, Midnight Sun och Satin Doll och han skrev också de engelskspråkiga texterna till utländska melodier. Det kanske mest välkända exemplet på detta är Autumn Leaves.
