His velvet voice and immaculate phrasing enabled him to transcend the genres to encompass, sophisticated pop, jazz, easy listening and even disco over the years, and he had over 80 hits from the 1950s through to the '80s (see Johnny Mathis ' The Complete US Singles As \u0026amp; Bs 1957-62' Acrobat ADDCD3171). He began his recording career just as the long-playing album format was becoming a burgeoning medium, soon followed by the stereo boom and he was ideally placed to take advantage of that. This 46-track 2-CD collection features just about all the titles from his first albums for Columbia, 'Johnny Mathis', 'Wonderful, Wonderful', 'Warm' and 'Swing Softly'. Mostly comprising his trademark versions of classics from the Great American Songbook, and with accompaniments directed by great arranger\/composers of the day - Percy Faith, Ted Macero, Bob Prince, Manny Albam, Gil Evans, and John Lewis - the collection offers a thoroughly enjoyable showcase for his unique talent as a song stylist, captured at the start of what would be a long and illustrious career. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eAutumn In Rome\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eEasy To Love \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eStreet Of Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLove, Your Magic Spell Is Everywhere \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePrelude To A Kiss\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBabalu\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCaravan\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eIn Other Words (Fly Me To The Moon)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eStar Eyes \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eIt Might As Well Be Spring \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCabin In The Sky \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAngel Eyes \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWill I Find My Love Today?\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLooking At You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLet Me Love You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAll Through The Night\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eIt Could Happen To You \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThat Old Black Magic\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eToo Close For Comfort \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eIn The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eYear After Year\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eYou Stepped Out Of A Dream \u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eEarly Autumn\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDay In, Day Out\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWarm\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMy One And Only Love\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBaby, Baby, Baby\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eA Handful Of Stars\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBy Myself\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThen I'll Be Tired Of You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI'm Glad There Is You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWhat'll I Do\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Lovely Things You Do\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThere Goes My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWhile We're Young\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eYou Hit The Spot \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eIt's De-Lovely \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eGet Me To The Church On Time \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLike Someone In Love\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eYou'd Be So Nice To Come Home To \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLove Walked In\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThis Heart Of Mine \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSweet Lorraine\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCan't Get Out Of This Mood \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI've Got The World On A String\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eEasy To Say (But So Hard To Do)\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrobat\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adult Contemporary\/MOR\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 141 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 06\/05\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824046359522\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"TRAPEZE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47751461339385,"sku":"ADDCD3595","price":13.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/ADDCD3595.jpg?v=1775143428","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/johnny-mathis-early-years-selected-albums-1956-58-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
