Following this he began writing material for others including Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway whom he also produced. He also stepped into the stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Mercury returned to Toronto in 1986 and worked in a managerial and production capacity for the band Age Of Reason. Following the failure of the band to grab the attention of a major record label, Mercury returned to Chicago in May, 1988. Stints in radio jingles and continued writing jobs with the likes of Gerald Alston have kept him busy but out of the limelight.
