The Hollywood Musicals
''The Hollywood Musicals'' is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis and American composer/conductor Henry Mancini that was released in October 1986 by Columbia Records.〔(1993) ''The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection'' by Johnny Mathis (booklet ). New York: Columbia Records C4K-48932.〕 It peaked at number 46 during an eight-week run on the UK album chart that began on December 13 of that year〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Johnny Mathis - Albums )〕 and received Silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry for sales of 60,000 units in the UK.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BPI search results )〕 It also spent two weeks on ''Billboard'' magazine's Top Pop Albums chart in January 1987 and made it to number 157.〔.〕
==History==
In 1983 a renewed interest in pop songs dating back to the era before rock and roll became apparent when the album ''What's New'' by Linda Ronstadt received Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America just three months after its release.〔(RIAA Gold and Platinum Search for titles by Linda Ronstadt )〕 The recording focused exclusively on standards from the Great American Songbook and was arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle.〔(1983) ''What's New'' by Linda Ronstadt (jacket ). Los Angeles: Asylum Records 60260.〕 ''The Broadway Album'', a 1985 release of show tunes by Barbra Streisand, provided more evidence that there was an audience for what would be eventually referred to as traditional pop albums when it attained double Platinum certification only two months after its release〔(RIAA Gold and Platinum Search for titles by Barbra Streisand )〕 and spent three weeks as the number one album in the US.〔.〕
As ''The Broadway Album'' did for Streisand, ''The Hollywood Musicals'' brought Mathis back into familiar territory. He had spent the first 10 years of his recording career sticking with easy listening fare, but his 1966 LP ''The Shadow of Your Smile'' included covers of two songs by The Beatles ("Michelle" and "Yesterday")〔(1966) ''The Shadow of Your Smile'' by Johnny Mathis (jacket ). Chicago: Mercury Records SR 61073.〕 and became his first album to reach the top 10 since 1960's ''The Rhythms and Ballads of Broadway'' and the first to receive Gold certification since 1959's ''Faithfully''.〔 Contemporary music became a Mathis album mainstay from that point on, but many of his releases from the 1970s made room for one or two classics such as "Since I Fell for You",〔(1972) ''The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)'' by Johnny Mathis (jacket ). New York: Columbia Records PC 31342.〕 "Stardust",〔(1975) ''Feelings'' by Johnny Mathis (jacket ). New York: Columbia Records PC 33887.〕 "All the Things You Are",〔(1977) ''Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me'' by Johnny Mathis (jacket ). New York: Columbia Records PC 34872.〕 and "That Old Black Magic".〔(1979) ''Mathis Magic'' by Johnny Mathis (jacket ). New York: Columbia Records JC 36216.〕 By the mid-80s, however, his studio albums were focused more on original material, so much so that his 1985 effort, ''Right from the Heart'', left out not only anything reminiscent of those early pop hits but also any covers of recent radio favorites as well. Whereas that album failed to chart in either the US or the UK, his 1983 UK concert album ''Unforgettable – A Musical Tribute to Nat King Cole'' was his best-selling disc, in terms of British Phonographic Industry standards, since ''That's What Friends Are For'', his 1978 pairing with Deniece Williams.〔 Even though this success was on a much smaller scale than was available from the US buying public, the sales phenomena that was also enjoyed by both Ronstadt and Streisand in the US only underscored the interest in material that was in such sharp contrast to his recent output.
