Johnny Mathis at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Segestrom Hall

Since his first two hits, “Wonderful, Wonderful” and “Chances Are” hit the top of the charts in 1956, Johnny Mathis has continued to entertain legions of fans with his beautiful style and way around a song. He has received four Grammy nominations and been inducted into the Grammy Award Hall of Fame twice. According to record historian Joel Whitburn, Mathis is one of only five recording artists to have Top 40 hits spanning each of the four decades since 1955. Amazingly, his second No. 1 hit single, “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late” (recorded with Deniece Williams), came almost 21 years after his very first No.1 hit single. In a word – or two – Mathis remains “Wonderful!”
