Love Is Everything is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released by Mercury Records on March 5, 1965, and included covers of hit songs from the 1930s ("Dancing in the Dark"), 1940s ("Long Ago (and Far Away)"), 1950s ("An Affair to Remember (Our Love Affair)" and "Never Let Me Go") and 1960s ("Go Away Little Girl", "People", and "This Is All I Ask") as well as new songs from the composers of "Fly Me to the Moon" ("A Thousand Blue Bubbles"), "What Will Mary Say" ("One More Mountain"), and "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" ("Love Is Everything"). The album debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated March 20, 1965, and remained there for 11 weeks, peaking at number 52. Love Is Everything was released for the first time on compact disc on August 28, 2012, as one of two albums on one CD, the other album being the previously unreleased Mathis project titled Broadway. Both were also included in Sony's Mathis box set The Complete Global Albums Collection, which was released on November 17, 2014. History Mathis commented on a couple of the selections here in the liner notes for the compact disc releases of the album. He provided some insight into his interest in "Long Ago (and Far Away)", which originated in the Rita Hayworth film Cover Girl: "I was very much influenced by people like Rita Hayworth… There she was, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life, and she had all this talent." He also explained why "A Thousand Blue Bubbles" stayed active in his repertoire. "I still sing it every once in a while when I do performances with symphonies. Audiences love to have a little chuckle once in a while because you tend to get serious when you have that many musicians in back of you and you lose your sense of humor. It comes off well."
