Heavenly, Johnny Mathis's album for Columbia, came out on August 10, 1959, and it brought him back to what he did best: ballads, cushioned in lush orchestral arrangements. Most of the songs had been sung by others before, but there are two new ones, the title track and "I'll Be Easy to Find".
It's the sound of late-night romance, strings swelling and that satin voice floating above them, and the public couldn't get enough. The album spent 295 weeks on Billboard's album chart, five of them at number one, went gold in 1962 and platinum in 1986. It was also the first Mathis LP to have a single released from it in the US: his version of "Misty", which reached number 12 on the Hot 100 and entered the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. In the UK, Fontana issued it as Ride on a Rainbow.
