- In 1973 Johnny Mathis boarded the love train with the destination of Philadelphia. The velvet-voiced vocalist was already a music legend when he teamed with Thom Bell architect of the Philadelphia soul sound via his groundbreaking work with The Delfonics The Stylistics and The Spinners. The pairing of the smooth balladeer with the chart-topping R&B quadruple threat (producer-songwriterarranger- conductor) might have seemed unlikely at first but Mathis and Bell shared an elegant sophisticated and romantic sensibility built on pop melodies and heartfelt soul. Now for the very first time the complete collaborations of Johnny Mathis and Thom Bell are being collected on one 2-CD set.
