Review by Greg Adams

Johnny Mathis may swing softly, but he does swing. This 1958 album features upbeat interpretations of pop standards like "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" and "I've Got the World on a String" performed with Percy Faith and his orchestra. Close listeners will appreciate the purity of Mathis' vocal technique, which differs markedly from that of later singers for its infrequent use of modulation. Mathis was an album artist, as Swing Softly -- a hit album without a hit single -- proves. Although he is known for his sensitive balladry, Mathis swings with ease on these 12 favorites and offers something a little bit different from his previous albums.
