4.0 out of 5 starsexquisite--as far as it goes, that is (three and one-half stars)
By Matthew G. Sherwin HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on March 30, 2008
Format: Audio CD
Gold: A 50th Anniversary Celebration is a somewhat disappointing single CD retrospective that just can't possibly reflect all the golden hits of Johnny Mathis' illustrious career. The sound quality, however, is very good; and the artwork is nicely done.

The track set starts with Johnny Mathis performing "Chances Are." This awesome hit for Johnny brings out all the wonderful qualities of his voice. Johnny croons this number just as well as the best of them ever could! The musical arrangement uses the strings to great advantage and I love every minute of it! "Wonderful! Wonderful!" follows and if you're not hooked on Johnny Mathis by now you may wish to check your pulse! Johnny sings this to perfection and beyond; he never misses a beat and I'm very impressed with "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"It's Not For Me To Say" was definitely another huge hit for Johnny; this beautiful melody sounds very sweet and Johnny Mathis delivers this with great panache. The piano arrangement is very elegant and the overall effect is gorgeous. "Misty" is another excellent classic pop hit that features Johnny front and center. Johnny's excellent diction and timing turns "Misty" into a true masterpiece. Listen also for "A Certain Smile;" this love song never sounded better than when Johnny sang it and it's great he's still here today to perform it in concert all over again!

"What'll I Do" gets the royal treatment for this masterful talent named Johnny Mathis; he delivers this beautifully with sophistication, heart and soul. The backup chorus enhances the beauty of the number. There's also "In A Sentimental Mood;" Johnny massages the lyrics to make this tune remarkably beautiful and it all works very well.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsMixed, but Decent Bag!
By L. J. Allen on December 15, 2006
Format: Audio CD
This CD offers a real mixed bag for a variety of reasons. The first nine tracks have been released and reissued on numerous CD and LP compilations, at minimum, a dozen times. While CHANCES ARE, THE TWELFTH OF NEVER, and MISTY capture Mathis' ethereal brand of romance, these songs are likely to already be located in a devoted Mathis fan's collection several times over.

Tracks 10 through 18 on this CD offer a different mix. The inclusion of ONE GOD and DEEP RIVER from Mathis' religious LP "Good Night, Dear Lord," is a somewhat welcome surprise given that his interpretation of these religious songs is totally unique. No one has sang them with such anguished beauty before or since. The LP "Good Night, Dear Lord" has been reissued, however, on CD in its entirety. A large number of younger fans are completely unaware that he ever sang anything other than romantic and Xmas fare.

IN A SENTIMENTAL MOOD from his Ellington CD of the same name is also a good showcase of Mathis' Jazz-oriented roots, something his last original CD "Isn't It Romantic" also showcased quite well. SO MANY STARS, an exquisite song that highlights Mathis' incomparable vocal range was recorded in the 1980s when his voice was, arguably, at its absolute peak; this song has never been released until now. Along with this is a newly recorded version of THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE with sax man Dave Koz, which demonstrates that Mathis can reinvent a song twice as he recorded this song back in 1966 for an LP of the same name. Unfortunately, that LP and much of Mathis' recorded output from the mid-to-late 1970s through the 1980s have not been reissued on CD. And with the cost of song publishing and licensing rights already through the roof, we may have a long wait before these recordings make it to CD format.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsThis is no celebration
By I. Gross Georg on December 3, 2006
Format: Audio CD
This should have been every bit a 4CD set for the audio alone, and yet Mathis is limited to 18 songs? For someone like me, who has followed him for the last 22 years, and who has nearly every digitized studio CD put out for him, this particular collection is a maddening travesty. This should have been Johnny Mathis' year of glory. He should have had a Kennedy Center honor, and he should have had a comprehensive "thank you" from the industry for his 50-year career, at least 4 CDs plus video tracks, but apparently 50 years in any field is so commonplace it doesn't mean anything anymore. I'm not happy with what they've done in the way of "celebrating" Johnny Mathis, not at all.

This so-called "50th Anniversary Celebration" is no celebration, no "thank you" to Johnny Mathis for his artistry and longevity. It's nothing more than a plain old compilation like Johnny's Greatest Hits or the Ultimate Hits Collection. One could look at this as being a reasonable selection of songs from 1957 on, except that there's a huge problem. It seems to skip the 70s and most of the 80s and 90s altogether, and during that period there were some damn fine recordings produced by Thom Bell, Robert Mersey, Johnny Bristol, and Phil Ramone to name a few. It ignores all the ones that have yet to be released. This would have been the perfect time to bring them out. It all comes off as a slapdash effort to me, and I really don't care why it ended up being the way it ended up being. It should have been so much MORE.

So obviously, this wasn't designed for someone like me. Who then buys these compilations? Through my website, I learned long ago that there are people who don't know a lot about Johnny Mathis and want to learn about him without being chastised for asking.Read more ›
