1973 Original. "The Early 1970s Was A Tough Time For Established Ballad Singers, But Johnny Mathis, Who Was Younger Than His Peers And Columbia Records Label Mates Like Tony Bennett And Andy Williams, Weathered The Lean Times Better Than Most. Some Of The Reasons Why Are Suggested In This 1973 Album. It Wasn't A Big Seller By Any Means, But This Enjoyable, Contemporary-sounding Set Made The Charts. Basically, All Mathis Did Was Turn On The Radio And Cut A Bunch Of Soft Rock And Easy Listening Hits Of The Time -- The Title Song, A Chart-Topper For Roberta Flack, Bread's "Aubrey," Perry Como's "And I Love You So," The Stylistics' "Break Up To Make Up," Gladys Knight & The Pips' "Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)," Skylark's "Wildflower," Stevie Wonder's "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life," The Carpenters' "Sing," And Diana Ross' "Good Morning Heartache." But Unlike Bennett, Who Had Dropped From Columbia The Year Before, Mathis Had No Resistance To Contemporary Material; He Sounded Fine Singing It. And Though He Had Never Had Much Of An Impact In The R&b Market, He Was An African-american Who Could Handle The Stylistics And Gladys Knight Songs Credibly, Substituting His Trademark Tremulousness For Their More Soulful Approach. At The Same Time, He Could Match Both Perry Como And Newer Soft-rock Stars Like Bread And The Carpenters." AMG Review By William Ruhlmann
