Title: Johnny Sings Like No One Else
Review: Here is another wonderful album by the greatest singer since Nat King Cole. Legrand, the Bergmans, and Mathis have collaborated on an album of beautiful songs--half of which I had never heard before. I was pleasantly surprised. The songs are dreamy, mellow, sung in Johnny's incomparable style. Of course, he is the master balladeer, whose enunciation and phrasing are always perfect. Even if someone else has recorded a song, Johnny always sings it his way. The orchestration and arrangements of each song are perfect and unique. Johnny creates a mood of intimacy and sensuality as if he is just singing to you alone. I have always heard the song, How Do You Keep The Music Playing, with an orchestra accompaniment. It was uniquely different and beautiful to hear it with just piano accompaniment. This album should be in the collection of anyone who is a Mathis fan.
