The Hits of Johnny Mathis is a compilation album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in the UK in 1995 by Columbia Records and has three of his UK singles chart entries ("Misty", "I'm Stone in Love with You", and his 1981 duet remake of "When a Child Is Born" with Gladys Knight).[2] This collection, however, focuses primarily on his covers of hits from the late 1960s through the 1970s.
