Light as air and comfortable as velvet, Johnny Mathis' timeless voice renders romance with rare sensitivity. The Texas-born singer emerged in the mid-'50s as a classy pop crooner, eventually finding wider success as a sought-after interpreter of standards. Behold his supremely poised phrasing on “Chances Are”, and his sighing devotion against cascading strings on “Wild Is the Wind” and “Wonderful! Wonderful!”. He's also a dab hand at duets, rivalling Ray Charles' tender touch on “Over the Rainbow” and digging deep with Dionne Warwick on the piano-kissed power ballad “Friends In Love”.
