The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection
: :Mathis was among the singers who, in the '60s and '70s, churned out an album every few months--often made up largely of the same recent chart hits his peers (Andy Williams, Jerry Vale) were covering.

Led first by Michael O'Donoughue and later by John Belushi, the radio program lasted from 1973 to 1975, with many of its ...
