Johnny Mathis

A jazz-leaning debut capturing a young Mathis before the hits. Smoky, sophisticated, and far more nocturnal than his later orchestral pop classics.

The version of Johnny Mathis that belongs in a smoky jazz club rather than a holiday card.

A sophisticated, nocturnal elegance that balances romantic longing with a cool, jazz-club detachment.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The haunting, almost ghostly delivery of the opening lines in Angel Eyes setting a noir tone.
The unexpected rhythmic intensity and vocal pyrotechnics during the climax of Babalu.
The way his vibrato thins out into a delicate whisper at the end of Prelude to a Kiss.
