16 Most Requested Songs, a midline-priced collection, spotlights some of Johnny Mathis' best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records. Although other sets may have a few more tracks, this is a very entertaining sampler, featuring such songs as "Chances Are," "It's Not for Me to Say," "Wonderful! Wonderful!," "When Sunny Gets Blue," "(Where Do I Begin (Love Story)," and "Misty." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

My favorite album is 'Rapture'...and it is not in print and it is Johnny's least favorite ...I so wish I could find it..."This is rapture, such heavenly bliss..." Like Nancy Wilson,Carmen McRae, and Robert Goulet, Mathis truly understood lyrics and balance..a good song sung well needs naught else! Yet to have such a distinguished sound certainly helps! Easily the most recognizable voice on the planet...oh yeah in addition to Bennett, Sinatra, Crosby, Cole...More!
if there was one artist responsible for most of the romance in the early 60's it was this man. Johnny Mathis in a parked car meant a score. period. No one else came close. And I speak from experience.
