Faced with a career choice between Track & Field and music in 1955 Johnny decided on music. He was a very talented athlete who in 1954 broke the San Francisco State University high jump record with a leap of 1.96 metres (6 feet 5 inches). He was invited to take part in Olympic trials for the Melbourne Olympics but chose music instead.

His interest in sports remained and after making it huge in music he went on to sponsor and many golf and athletics events and is a very good golfer himself with a reported 6 holes in 1 to date.

Mathis' has his own unique and unmistakable singing style and very quickly achieved a string of hits in 1957.

In 1959 he released "Misty" which is perhaps the song he is best known for. One of his other signature tunes is "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" dueting with Deniece Williams in 1978. Both of these tracks are on this album which is 40 tracks in all.

This is a great chance to enjoy his very special interpretation of some fine songs.

One small negative of this double album is the omission of his rendition of "Moon River" which is one of my personal favourites.
