Gold: A 50th Anniversary Celebration is a compilation album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on November 21, 2006, by Columbia Records and takes the first 13 of its 18 tracks from the first four years of his recording career. The collection then jumps ahead 27 years for the remaining five songs, two of which had not been released elsewhere: "So Many Stars" comes from the recording date of an unfinished Sergio Mendes project,[2] and "The Shadow of Your Smile" was later featured on the 2007 Dave Koz album At the Movies.

This compilation reached number 171 during its sole week on Billboard magazine's album chart in the issue dated December 30, 2006.[3]
