With nine Christmas albums, and warm and tender renditions of classics such as “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of Year” and “Silver Bells,” it’s no wonder Oprah Winfrey was quoted as saying ‘…there’s no Christmas without Johnny Mathis.’ Mathis first hit the top of the charts in 1956 with the hits “Wonderful, Wonderful” and “Chances Are.” Since then, he’s sold well over 100 million records and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame three times.
