Editorial Reviews

A Night To Remember includes some of the most well-known songs of our time and features guest performances by Dave Koz, Kenny G, Gladys Knight, and Yolanda Adams. 2008 marks the 52nd anniversary of Johnny Mathis as a recording artist and his voice sounds just as remarkable now as it did in 1956.

I have been a Mathis fan since the late '50s,I have enjoyed him since I was in high school in San Francisco. We were both from the same high school. I think this CD is fantastic. Bought it for my wife for mothers day and it was a hit. Great music, great listening.

JM does it again with. I loved all the songs particularly Walk on by and the Closer I Get. It's amazing at 72 years of age he can still sing ever so beautifully. I am happy he recorded these soulful songs. I hope he does another album like this one real soon.

My first Johnny Mathis album was "Love is Blue" that I bought from the Columbia Record Club in 1967, and I've been a fan ever since. As I hear his one of a kind voice on this latest CD, it was a different experience hearing Mr. Mathis backed not by "real" instrumentation, but by Pro Tools and keyboard programming, I felt there was something missing. I miss hearing his voice backed by the warmth of real "live" instruments, with strings and horns (there are a few songs that have drums, bass & guitars). I compared this CD to his work with Thom Bell, Jack Gold and Robert Mersey and found it puzzling that he chose to record "Walk On By" and "Where Is The Love" again for this CD, when his original recordings (from 1967 and 1972, respectively) were magnificient to begin with! His duet, "You Make Me Feel Brand New" with Yolanda Adams (wow!! what a voice she has) sent a chill. Mr. Mathis, your special voice just calls out for the warmth and cushion of organic instrumentation. Here, producer Walter Afanasieff surrounds him in very modern sounds and a great selection of contemporary songs. Finally, it is a gift that we have new music from a man who has been recording for 50 years, we are truly blessed.
