Johnny Mathis is one of the best known singers of love songs in the history of pop music. Decades ago, just putting on a Johnny Mathis record tripled a guy's chance of getting lucky. For those who missed it the first time Johnny Mathis announced that he will Release The Compete Global Albums Collection on November 17.

Mathis first came to the scene in 1957 with a straight run of hits: "Wonderful! Wonderful!," "It's Not For Me To Say," "Chances Are" (his first #1), "The Twelfth Of Never," "No Love (But Your Love)," and "Wild Is The Wind."  He went on to enjoy one of the most enduring careers in popular music,

Mathis' voice has hit the singles and albums charts in every decade from the 1950s to the 2010s. Mathis us the only recording act in history with two LPs listed in the Billboard Top 10 (even the Top 25) on Joel Whitburn's "Albums Of Longevity" chart - 1958's Johnny's Greatest Hits  and 1959's Heavenly.

The new Johnny Mathis collectio is a 13-CD box set that contains all ten of his original Global/Mercury album releases. The Johnny Mathic collection will also includepreviously unreleased "lost" album of Broadway show tunes and a 2-CD compilation of non-album singles and unreleased songs.

Grammy-nominated biographer of Ella Fitzgerald and Chet Baker, James Gavin, wrote the liner notes to in The Global Masters fron 1997. 

"Few performers had captured the idealistic dreams of his generation like Mathis," Gavin wrote. "His voice - a nasal tenor with high notes as light as a choirboy's -

remains one of the most idiosyncratic in pop ... Whereas the singing of Frank Sinatra or Peggy Lee teemed with sexual undertones, Mathis' rang out angelically, offering the promise - or at least the illusion - that romance was forever... Then and now, Mathis sings to the lovestruck adolescent in everyone."
