Love Story

Johnny Mathis

A lush collection of 1970s standards delivered with velvet vocals. Orchestral arrangements meet soft-rock hits in a masterclass of easy-listening romanticism.

It's like a warm hug from the 1970s, but with much better singing than you'd expect.

A sophisticated, warm embrace of early 70s romanticism and gentle melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The surprising soulful warmth of the organ swell during the chorus of My Sweet Lord.
The delicate, breathy opening of We've Only Just Begun that feels like a shared secret.
The way the orchestral strings swell to meet his signature vibrato on the climax of Loss of Love.
