The upcoming CD – Johnny Mathis Sings the Great New American Songbook, produced by 11-time, Grammy-winning singer and producer, Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds, will feature You Raise Me Up, written by Brendan Graham & Rolf Lovland, as well as Mathis’ classic take on contemporary hit songs from Whitney Houston, Pharrell Williams’ Happy, R. Kelly’s I Believe I Can Fly etc.
Mathis, who had his first No.1 hit ‘Chances Are’ 60 years ago in 1957, told CBS’ Nancy Giles ‘I’m happy that now I’m doing some contemporary music that was written less than 50 years ago. Now that I am 81 years old, I can bust loose and have some fun’.
