Johnny is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on July 15, 1963,[1] by Columbia Records and later described on Allmusic as "a nice blend of standards, show tunes and then-new compositions."[3]

The LP debuted on Billboard magazine's album chart in the issue dated August 24, 1963, and remained there for 27 weeks, during which time it got as high as number 20.[6] One song from the album, "No Man Can Stand Alone", had been released on May 7 of that year as the B-side of "Every Step of the Way".[2]

This album was "remixed and mastered from the original session tapes in 20-bit Super Bit Mapping"[1] for its first release on compact disc on May 7, 1996.[7]
