Johnny Mathis in Branson Missouri

One of the last in a long line of traditional male vocalists who emerged before the 1960s, Johnny Mathis concentrated on romantic jazz and pop standards for the adult contemporary audience through to the 1980s. Starting his career with a standard flurry of singles, Mathis was far more popular as an album artist, with several dozen of his albums receiving gold and platinum status and seventy-three making the Billboard charts to date. Mathis has sold more than 350 million records and albums.

During these two special performances, occuring on Oct. 9 & Oct. 10, Johnny Mathis will be joined by the Springfield Symphony.
