“There are a number of good singers, a smaller handful of truly great singers, and then there’s Johnny Mathis.” - Barbra Streisand
Johnny Mathis is The Voice of Romance, best-known for his supremely popular hits like “Chances Are," "It's Not For Me To Say," "Winter Wonderland" and "Misty”. Mathis has recorded close to 80 albums, 6 Christmas albums, and sold millions of records worldwide. During his extensive 60+ year career he has had 3 songs inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame, achieved 50 Hits on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary Chart, and ranks as the all-time #6 album artist in the history of Billboard’s Pop Album charts. He has received 5 GRAMMY Nominations, induction into the Great American Songbook Hall Of Fame, and in 2003 he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. His songs have become the soundtrack to our lives. Johnny continues to be Columbia Records’ longest-signed artist, and to fans of all ages The Voice of Christmas.
For the first time, I was fortunate enough to attend a live Johnny Mathis concert at Pechanga Casino in Temecula on June 22, 2024. I had tickets for his previous show there. But I got Covid, had to isolate and could not go. I’ve been a devoted fan of this magnificent singer singer for many years. At 88, Johnny is spectacular not just with his velvet voice but also as an entertainer. With his lively eyes, facial expressions, body movements and tangible warmth on stage, Johnny lights up the stage and venue both musically and physically. I had to refrain myself at times from singing out loud with him since I am familiar with the lyrics and melodies of many of his songs. At 77 now, it was well worth my wait to experience the Mathis Magic in person at last. Wendy Weisman
This is simply incredible. He was 85 when he recorded this. His voice is a miracle. The range is still there, he's smack on pitch, no horrible wobble in the voice. He doesn't need to perform all the vocal gymnastic many singers do to try and avoid high notes or 'navigate' around them. Beautiful tone, beautiful intonation. What a gift. Thank you. ❤
One of the first Christmas albums I think my parents ever bought or that I remember hearing I think I was about eight years old and I’m so much older now and it takes me back immediately to being a child and how Christmas can be wonderful!❤️🎄

I love this man's voice since the moment I heard it back in gosh I guess it was the 50s late 50s. He has just a wonderful voice to sit and listen and kind of mellow out to.
