From the heart singing from Gene which was a very commercial move in the sixties added together with some vibrant double-tracking and sympathetic arrangements he hit the mark. Very popular in

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.****
