Johnny Mathis - Me and Mrs. Jones (2018) [Hi-Res]

Johnny Mathis began 1973 with one of his most eclectic albums of the decade. Me and Mrs. Jones, produced by Jerry Fuller (Ricky Nelson, Andy Williams, Glen Campbell), found the singer exploring a variety of styles and genres.

In addition to the title track from Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff’s Philly soul hit factory, Me and Mrs. Jones finds Mathis singing the best of Broadway (“Corner of the Sky” from Pippin), Hollywood (Smokey Robinson and Michel Legrand’s “Happy” from Lady Sings the Blues) and the pop scene (Harry Nilsson’s “Remember,” David Gates’ “Sweet Surrender”). The album’s AC hit single, “Soul and Inspiration/Just Once in My Life,” brought together two of The Righteous Brothers’ most memorable songs in one dynamic medley.

"Mathis's power as a standout interpreter of material continues to amaze." They detailed the specifics that impressed them as well. "The tempo is slow and romantic; his voice sweet and flowing. The backings are full and broad sounding. Mathis's special sound is razor-sharp as an instrument of romantic interludes." (Billboard)
