Mathis Is... is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on February 21, 1977,[1] by Columbia Records and reunited the singer with producer Thom Bell for the first time since their collaboration on I'm Coming Home in 1973. As with that project, Mathis Is... focuses primarily on new songs, the one exception being a cover of "Sweet Love of Mine" from the 1975 Pick of the Litter album by The Spinners.[4]
Mathis Is... made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated March 19, 1977, and remained there for five weeks, peaking at number 139.[5]
One of the songs from the album, "Loving You-Losing You", entered the magazine's list of the 50 most popular Easy Listening songs in the US the following month, in the April 2 issue, and peaked at number 29 over the course of five weeks.[6]
