The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)/Song Sung Blue (Expanded Edition) (2-CD Set)

CD Details

Johnny Mathis, the legendary Voice of Romance, teams with producer Jerry Fuller on this expanded 2-CD set combining two classic 1972 albums. The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face) features Mathis interpreting seventies pop hits including Roberta Flack’s title track, songs made famous by The Stylistics, America, The 5th Dimension, and Neil Diamond, plus beloved themes from films like The Godfather and Summer of ’42. Song Sung Blue celebrates Diamond’s catalog alongside favorites by Gilbert O’Sullivan, the Carpenters, and the Bee Gees, with Mathis also delivering smooth renditions of “Too Young” and a top 20 AC hit with “Make It Easy on Yourself.”

This 2-CD release on Jon Mat Records and Real Gone Music marks the first-ever standalone CD debut for both albums and includes three bonus tracks: Henry Mancini’s “Sometimes” and the outtakes “Remember the Good” and “Morning Has Broken.” Own these reissued classics on physical media at a used price.
