About The Record:

The Hollywood Musicals, by Johnny Mathis and Henry Mancini, is a collaborative album marking Mathis's return to traditional pop with covers of classic film songs. The album, featuring 11 tracks (14 in some editions), includes notable performances like You Stepped Out of a Dream, Taking a Chance on Love, and a Johnny Burke/Jimmy Van Heusen medley, showcasing Mathis’s smooth tenor and Mancini’s lush orchestrations. It peaked at No. 46 on the UK album chart, earning Silver certification for 60,000 units sold, and reached No. 197 on Billboard’s Top Pop Albums chart. Historically significant for its role in the 1980s revival of pre-rock pop, it followed the success of Linda Ronstadt’s What’s New, reflecting a renewed interest in traditional pop standards.
