3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not up to the usual standard., January 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Friends in Love (Audio CD)

This album (forgive me) is not up to the usual Mathis standards. The songs are generally pleasant, but uninspiring, and Mathis's partnership with Dionne Warwick on "Friends in Love" doesn't work as well as, say, Deniece Williams or Jane Olivor. Nonetheless, Johnny Mathis rarely records a bad song, and this album is no exception. "Memory", the theme from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats probably stands out as the best cut, with a distinctive Mathis vocal in which the listener feels every word. This album is the sort of album one puts on the record player after a night out to wind down to - and like all Mathis albums - is an ideal romantic soundtrack.

People may say that this isn't Johnny Mathis's best work, but I love this album. I love the heartfelt warmth of these songs and I think he sounds great with Dionne Warwick....although I admit to loving him with Jane Oliver. How can you not love Johnny and Dionne singing together??? They both are amazing singers.

This review is from: Friends in Love (Audio CD)

By the time this album was released in 1982, Johnny Mathis may have been past his prime commercially but he was still one of the all-time best romantic singers and he could still record and release extremely high-quality music. This CD includes such gorgeous ballads as "I Remember You And Me", "Warm", " Memory" and two spirited duets with Dionne Warwick (I've Got You Where I Want You" and the hit title track). Yes, this album may not be one of Mr. Mathis' most well-known recordings but his ultra-rich, crystal-clear, heartwarming and very smooth vocals breathe life and meaning into any song he sings.
