Old School Cool! Apr 03, 2009 I received this product in excellent condition and in a timely manner with no problems. This was "Old School Cool."
Songs I've fallen in love with. Feb 20, 2009 I was searching for a particular song Johnny Mathis had recorded -- 99 Miles From L.A. -- and bought this 2-CD album because it contained that song. I am enjoying this piece so much both for his singing, the lyrics and the music. My other favorite on this album is What Are You Doing For the Rest of Your Life. The orchestration for that piece has a chromatic section that reminds me of Philip Glass' compositions, so I have fallen in love with that recording, too.
I was delighted to find many of his biggest hits were also included on these two CDs.

The Essential Johnny Mathis Jan 19, 2009 Love Johnny Mathis but this collection disappointed me.
The first time I put the discs on (Christmas ~ New Year Holiday time) I did not listen all the way through,too boring.
At a later date give it another chance & listened all the way through hoping for the pleasure of good music & not wanting to have wasted my money.
There are a few songs that are great in the style & sound of the Johnny Mathis we all hope for, but not willing to listen again all the way through to get to the few good songs in~between the borring songs. Thegood songs are what I expected the entire two discs to consist of when I made the purchase.

A disappointment Jan 07, 2009 I purchased this for my wife for our anniversary. Although the songs from the Johnny's Greatest Hits album included on this compilation were good as always, the other were so-so at best. And, the sound quality overall on the MP3 download I purchased was lousy. I wish I could return it.
MATHIS--ALWAYS BRILLIANT!! Sep 15, 2008 MY WIFE AND I SAW JOHNNY MATHIS IN CONCERT SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS,
AND HE WAS MAGNIFICENT...ALWAYS HAD AN EXCELLENT ORCHESTRA (WITH STRINGS)
AS HIS ACCOMPANIMENT (WHICH IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR BALLAD VOCALISTS).
HIS CONTEMPORARY RECORDINGS AREN'T AS WELL DONE AS THE 'OLDIES'...BUT HE
STILL HAS THAT GREAT VOICE!!
