Johnny Mathis
\nThe Mansion \u2013 Friday & Saturday
\nSeptember 26th and 27th, 2008 8 PM<\/p>\n
His two Grammy nominations for \u201cChances Are\u201d and \u201cMisty\u201d mark only a few of Texan John Royce Mathis\u2019s honors. Johnny\u2019s talent and love for music was instilled in him at an early age by his father, Clem Mathis and he proved to be most eager! He sang in the church choir, school functions, community events, amateur shows, and for visitors in their home.<\/p>\n
Not only a star athletic in school, his discovery by George Avakian, Columbia Records, prompted the now famous telegram to the record company: \u201cHave found phenomenal 19 year old boy who could go all the way! Send blank contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Known for \u201cWonderful, Wonderful\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s Not For Me To Say\u201d \u2013 Johnny\u2019s career reached a peak on the BILLBOARD pop chart in 1957 and was followed by his first #1 hit \u201cChances Are\u201d. Johnny\u2019s \u201cGreatest Hits\u201d became one of the most popular albums of all time and spent an unprecedented 490 continuous weeks (almost ten years) on the BILLBOARD Top Albums Chart. This record has been noted in THE GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS.<\/p>\n
THE MANSION ENTERTAINMENT AND MEDIA CENTER is pleased to announce Mr. Mathis\u2019 performances in Branson, MO on Friday and Saturday evenings, September 26th and 27th at 8 PM. Accompanying him will be the renowned Springfield Symphony.<\/p>\n
