He has performed for Presidents, Heads of State, Royal Families and concertgoers across the globe.  He has been called by many: “The World’s Greatest Romantic Singer,” and has been noted in the Guinness Book of World Records for an unprecedented 490 continuous weeks on the Billboard Top Albums Chart for the 1958 release of Johnny’s Greatest Hits.

Johnny received three Grammy nominations: the first for “Misty” (Best Male Vocal Performance) in 1960, the second in 1992 for In A Sentimental Mood/ Mathis Sings Ellington (Best Traditional Pop Performance) and most recently in 2006 for Isn’t it Romantic (Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.) 

He has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame twice, and received the 2003 Lifetime Achievement Award by the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.  In 2004, he sang “Over the Rainbow” with Ray Charles on Mr. Charles’ Genius Loves Company.   Johnny was honored that Mr. Charles requested that song be played at his memorial service.

Marking the living legend’s 50^th Anniversary in 2006, a collection of personally assembled recordings from the past 50 years, Johnny Mathis – Gold: A 50^th Anniversary Celebration, was released.   PBS also aired the concert television special titled, “Wonderful, Wonderful.”  The special is now available on DVD, titled “Johnny Mathis – Gold: A 50^th Anniversary Celebration.”
