COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING JOHNNY MATHIS. AUGUST 30TH 2016

THE VERY BEST OF JOHNNY MATHIS...COLUMBIA SONY MUSIC.

Tracks played....
Someone / Wild is the wind / No love ( but your love ) / The story of our love / Wasn't the summer short / Starbright / I.m coming home.

A distinguished line-up of all of Mathis's hits plus some beautifully sung ballads make this album
a must if you appreciate the warm tones of this seasoned performer.  I have to admit that ballad after
ballad becomes a little too much and a little variance in tempos would have helped this collection
a lot. Nonetheless it's great value and great singing.****
