How many Johnny Mathis Albums do ya have?

[Mystic]

In my garden of vinyl delights, I weed out all the JMs and off to the thrift with them.

My sentiments -- and actions -- exactly.

 

[the_nines]

None.

You like Johnny Mathis? Good!

I don't have any and have not been inclined to get any. However, I would never dismiss it out of hand without giving it a try. I used to do that with the Boston Pops until I chanced upon a few good albums. I have many things that I never even heard of before that sound good to me. I was just recently spinning Father Joseph Dustin's banjo music. I like it and it's a keeper.

It has always been one of the greatest pleasures of used vinyl to give something a chance and to find that it fits the mood sometimes. If you like Johnny Mathis, then it's all good and

I never found a reason to bring one home.

My Mother loved him though. :yes:

You beat me! .... Balls!

No kidding though... My mom has more Mathis LP's than you can shake a vocal chord at... His popularity has wained a lot over the last 20 years, but Mathis has plenty of fans out there, believe me... I love my Sinatra as well as Ben E. King and others.

I have a copy of: Johnny Mathis, Columbia CL 887, 1956. "The Jazz album" was not a commercial success. It sounds a lot different than his later, more successful, recordings. Well worth a listen.

I also have:

Johnny's Greatest Hits, Columbia CL 1133. I listened to it this morning and enjoyed it quite a bit.

Johnny's Newest Hits, Columbia CL 2016.

He is as good as Frank Sinatra and im glad to see my thread about Frank so active!!

Now that is funny. Frank had style. Johnny, not so much.

I have a mint copy of his Christmas album, Columbia six eye to boot.
Couldn't pass it up for a quarter.
Grew up listening to him as my sister was a fan. She was much older than me back then, but I am gaining on her.

Probably about 10, including Heavenly; JM's GH; Warm; Open fire, 2 guitars.
When I was in the Air Force in 1964, guy upstairs had a record player, but only two albums: Johnny's Greatest Hits and Elvis' Gold records. He played them constantly, and I learned the words to almost all of the songs.
Also saw Johnny live at Misawa AFB in ~1966.

Listened to my three Johnny Mathis records today, on the record changer.

 

[chewie]

I think that I have two. I dig his voice and don't understand the dislike of him myself



Have you started a Nat King Cole thread????

His sound is too milk toast, too bland.

Now Nat has a very smooth sound. He sounds much better than Johnny.
