Portrait Of Johnny was the third compilation album from the ever consistent Johnny Mathis, although only My Love For You achieved a noticeably high chart placing. (US:2)
“The disc sounds like a pastiche, but as always, with the sublime voice of Johnny Mathis as the common denominator, it is as entertaining as ever and perhaps more interesting than usual with all the musical changes on each track.”
“Starbright was perfectly suited for Mathis, who sang a number of dreamy songs utilizing the word 'star' in the title.” “The Mathis voice - rich and deep at some turns, high and fragile at others, poured gold either way - seals it in timelessness; it's a pop scholar's very definition of a classic.”
“Is there another traditional vocalist who can move so easily among genres than Mathis. From classic ballads to R & B to Broadway, this brilliant singer can cover just about anything.”
“One of the most underrated vocalist of our time and certainly one of the most versatile. Few others have his range or are as fearless when it comes to testing it.”
