Johnny's Mood is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in the summer of 1960[2] by Columbia Records and mixes new material in with covers of hit standards by other artists.

The original album cover featured a sketch of Mathis on an orange background, but a second cover with his headshot against an orange background was also released.

The album made its debut on Billboard magazine's album chart in the August 29, 1960, issue and got as high as number four over the course of 65 weeks.[3]

The 1959 Mathis LP Faithfully and Johnny's Mood were both released for the first time on compact disc on June 21, 2002, as two albums on one CD.[4]

Reception

Billboard had good things to say. "Johnny Mathis is right at home in this collection of mood items, and at the top of his form he's one of the most potent chanters around."[2]
