Few singers have been able to change with the times like Johnny
Mathis. Although his fame rests on his massive popularity in the
50s and 60s when he competed with Elvis and Frank Sinatra and
outsold almost anyone, Mathis has remained relevant through the
decades and no other crooner is as technically skilled or able to
cover multiple genres so convincingly. Jazz, soul, disco, country,
classic and contemporary pop, Mathis has adapted his impressive
vocal range to all kinds of music and transgressed the stereotype
of what a male voice is supposed to sound like. The longest-running
artist on Columbia, he has been recognized by the record industry
with The Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award and three
recordings in the Grammy Hall of Fame, but so far, there hasn't
been an exhaustive examination of his complete recordings in book
form. Authorized by Mathis and including fresh insights from
himself as well as his producers and arrangers, Misty: The Music of
Johnny Mathis, rights that wrong. With detailed discussions of the
records and a discography, the book traces Mathis's musical journey
from the past to the present and includes a wealth of photos and
album scans from his own archive. It's the ideal companion for fans
and new listeners interested in exploring one of the most prominent
voices in American music.
