Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis is an American singer born in 1935 who grew up in San Francisco, where he was signed to Columbia Records as a teenager after being heard performing at a local club. He built his career on romantic pop ballads and easy-listening standards, drawing from jazz, Broadway, and Tin Pan Alley traditions. His warm, smooth tenor made him a consistent presence on the adult-contemporary charts from the late 1950s onward, and his holiday recordings became perennial favorites.
