Feelings is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on October 20, 1975,[1] by Columbia Records and strayed slightly from the singer's usual practice of covering hits by other artists by including two new songs, both written by Jerry Fuller: "Hurry Mother Nature" and "That's All She Wrote", which Ray Price took to number 34 on the Country chart the following spring.[5]

The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated November 8, 1975, and remained there for 21 weeks, peaking at number 97.[6] On February 1, 1976, the British Phonographic Industry awarded the album with Silver certification for sales of 60,000 units.[7] It received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America on December 30, 1980.[8]

The first single from the album, "Stardust", entered Billboard's list of the 50 most popular Easy Listening songs in the US in the issue of the magazine dated November 29, 1975, and peaked at number four over the course of 12 weeks.[9] "One Day in Your Life" was released as the follow-up and entered that same chart in the March 13, 1976, issue, eventually getting as high as number 36 during its five weeks there.[9]
