Johnny's Mood is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on July 18, 1960,[1] by Columbia Records and mixes new material in with covers of hit standards by other artists.

The original album cover featured a sketch of Mathis on an orange background, but a second cover with his headshot against an orange background was also released.

The album made its debut on Billboard magazine's album chart in the August 29, 1960, issue and got as high as number four over the course of 65 weeks.[4]
