Mathis rose to superstardom by concentrating on the romantic side of jazz and pop music standards, achieving success among the adult contemporary audience. In 1958, Mathis obtained tremendous popularity with his album “Johnny’s Greatest Hits.” It became one of the most popular albums of all time, spending an unprecedented 490 consecutive weeks (nearly 10 years) on the Billboard Top Albums chart.
Mathis’ career continued to thrive, obtaining at least one Top 40 hit in each decade of his career. Mathis’ No. 1 hits include “Chances Are” in 1957 and “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late,” a duet with Deniece Williams in 1978. The duet’s success prompted Mathis to record multiple duets over the following years. He recorded with artists such as Natalie Cole, Gladys Knight, Jane Olivor, Stephanie Lawrence, and Nana Mouskouri.
In 2003, Mathis was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He was later inducted into America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame (2013) and the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame (2014).
