Album Review

This reissue from Real Gone Music features a pair of LPs by vocalist Johnny Mathis, Love Is Everything from 1965 and the previously unreleased Broadway, which was originally scheduled for release on Mercury in 1964, but was scrapped. At the time, Mercury felt the album was too upbeat and not the type of romantic material Mathis had been so successful with during his previous tenure with Columbia. Over the years a few tracks have shown up on various compilations, but this release marks the first time the album has been heard in full. The following year Mathis returned to the romantic material best suited for him with Love Is Everything, which included such standards as "Young and Foolish," "Long Ago and Far Away," and "Dancing in the Dark."
