Summary: This guy can sing, and sell, and seduce...
Comment: I was only 14 in 1958 when Johnny Mathis was running up a string of pop hits that resulted in a "Greatest Hits" LP staying on the best-seller charts for more than three years. This disc gives you that album and a few bonus cuts. We are no longer in a clean love song/sentimental era in music, but rather one with overt sexuality rampant and voices that seem to fit rapists rather than seducers. So, while the arrangements and the vocal stylings you'll hear on this one may seem dated, don't let that lead you into thinking that the songs are not usually first-rate or that Mr. Mathis was not a highly skilled artist. In many ways, we as a society are to be pitied because of the lost innocence about love and dating and courtship these tunes represent. No "hooking up" here. No confusing the terms "first date" with "all night sexual romp" or "cohabitation" and "marriage." Some people laugh at the Mathis manner with a lyric these days. Johnny laughed all the way to several banks.

Editorial Reviews:

It's been suggested that almost as many baby boomers were conceived to the romantic sounds of Johnny Mathis's voice as to Sinatra's--and when you consider that Johnny's Greatest Hits stayed on Billboard's Top 40 chart for 178 weeks beginning in '58 (that's more than twice as long as Dark Side of the Moon, folks!), it's easy to understand why. Sony has used this "16 Most Requested" routine on a number of their easy-listening vocalists (including Sinatra and Andy Williams), but this one is special in that it takes the cream of Mathis's Greatest Hits album and rounds it out with his 1970s take on several movie theme hits, including Love Story and Romeo & Juliet. A truly unique and romantic sound. --Bill Holdship
