Singer Johnny Mathis Tries For Perfection Sound Of Success: Chances are, his wonderful, wonderful timber makes his legion of listeners misty.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)
Byline: DAN MOREAU
Singer Johnny Mathis loved athletics. His coaches at San Francisco State College saw him as their hope for an Olympic medal in the high jump.
But Mathis knew he was equally good at singing. And that's where his real love lay.
So he followed the musical path. Now, with more than 100 albums and a near 50-year career, Mathis is among the best-known singers of his time.
Mathis started his love affair with music at a young age. It was former vaudevillian Clem Mathis who taught his young son his first songs. When Johnny was 8, in 1943, Clem bought a used upright piano to teach his son show routines. At 13, Johnny was off for voice lessons.
He sang every chance he got -- in church, at school and in amateur shows all over hometown San Francisco.
The early training paid off. "Johnny's Greatest Hits," released in 1958, spent more time on the best-seller charts than any other album.
