Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis Le crooner américain Johnny Mathis connaît le succès dans les années 1950 et 1960 avec les titres « Wonderful, Wonderful », « Chances Are », « A Certain Smile » et quelques autres, devenant l'un des plus gros vendeurs de disques de cette période. Dépassé par les générations suivantes, il tente de se maintenir avec « When a Child Is Born » (1976), « Too Much, To Little , Too Late » avec Deniece Williams (n°1 en 1978), et d'autres duos, sans jamais retrouver l'aura d'antan.

Columbia Records invented the "greatest hits" album by releasing Johnny Mathis' Johnny's Greatest Hits in March 1958, and was rewarded with a long-running #1 hit that spent years in the best-seller charts. Following it with a second volume More Johnny's Greatest Hits was a no-brainer. Unfortunately, Columbia waited only 15 months between the two albums long enough for Mathis to release five singles that all managed modest chart success, though none matched the hit status of songs from the first album, such as "It's Not for Me to Say," "Chances Are," and "The Twelfth of Never."

Johnny Mathis is one of the few classic artists whose names have become synonymous with the holidays. He practically owns "Marshmallow World," for instance. The silky smooth crooner has released at least one new Christmas album every decade since his '50s hit-making heyday. His first entry of the 2000s may not be the best choice for the uninitiated, but anyone who's loved his Christmas music in the past surely won't be disappointed. Mathis's voice has matured, but that tenor is still beautiful, as he delivers his usual mix of carols and pop standards. Like so many other Christmas artists, Mathis is at his best when he's covering the already familiar: "Frosty the Snowman" and "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" pop like Sinatra here, making up for the rather unmemorable "Heavenly Peace". That voice, though, has always been an instrument of romance and fantasy, two elements that blend perfectly with the holiday spirit.

"I Love My Lady" is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was completed in 1981 but not released in its entirety until December 8, 2017, when it was included in the box set "The Voice of Romance: The Columbia Original Album Collection". It was written and produced by Chic founders Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers and represented an attempt at shifting away from the easy listening style of music that Mathis had been recording for 25 years to the more contemporary sound of the team behind "Le Freak" and "We Are Family". As part of Record Store Day on April 21, 2018, Legacy Recordings gave I Love My Lady its standalone debut with a pressing on clear smoke vinyl.
