In the Still of the Night (album)
''In the Still of the Night'' is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in August 1989 by Columbia Records〔(1993) ''The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection'' by Johnny Mathis (booklet ). New York: Columbia Records C4K-48932.〕 and continues the trend that began with his 1986 collaboration with Henry Mancini, ''The Hollywood Musicals'', in that the project is devoted to a specific theme that ties the songs together. Mathis hints at the theme for this album in the liner notes for his 1993 box set ''The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection'', where he gives his thoughts on the 1964 Little Anthony and the Imperials song "I'm on the Outside Looking In" that he covered for his 1988 album ''Once in a While'': "That was group singers' kind of material. I was singing other stuff. It wasn't the picture of the lone crooner standing in the spotlight. That's what I was doing when all this other stuff was going on. I never listened to it until it was brought to my attention by (album's producers ) Peter Bunetta and Rick Chudacoff."〔 Mathis chose to continue his work with Bunetta and Chudacoff on this project, which focuses on "this other stuff" that Mathis refers to: pop and R&B hits from the 50s and 60s.
==Reception==
Although the album did not make it onto ''Billboard'' magazine's Top Pop Albums chart, it did receive praise in ''People'' magazine, where the reviewer remarks that Mathis and the album producers "make these songs sound reconsidered, not merely recycled."〔 It's also noted that "Mathis's ability to extract every last nuance from a lyric has never been employed to better advantage"〔 and that "Take 6's presence enables him to prove that he can keep up with the younger generation."〔
The album also received a positive review from Allmusic, where Bil Carpenter wrote, "Clean, uncomplicated orchestration"〔 and "One of Mathis's best recordings to date."〔
