Johnny Mathis

It's a testament to Johnny Mathis' talent and legacy that in 1958, just two years after signing with Columbia Records, the label released Johnny's Greatest Hits, the first album of its kind. It remained on the charts for the next nine and a half years. Wink Martindale sat down with Mathis for a conversation in 1971. He discussed the diverse audience his music attracted, what he attributed his success to, and his profound love of singing. A number of his contemporaries also contributed thoughts about Mathis' talents and career.

Johnny Mathes never disappoints!

I was introduced to Johnny Mathis music as a young girl by my mom. She brought home a record player in a few albums for the very first time and included. What is the album by Johnny Mathis. My sisters and I played his album over and over. We knew all of his songs Word for Word. My older sister in and so him live in in concert concert in Jacksonville Florida a few years ago. Johnny was over 90 years old, and we just absolutely loved him and his music. He still has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. We love you, Johnny!
