Mathis was born in <a href="Gilmer%2C_Texas" title="Gilmer, Texas">Gilmer, Texas</a>, on September 30, 1935,<a href="#cite_note-mathis-5">[5]</a> the fourth of seven children of Clem Mathis and Mildred Boyd, both domestic cooks.<a href="#cite_note-auto-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> Mathis is African-American<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> and has said that he has Native American ancestry on his mother's side.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> The family moved to San Francisco when Mathis was five,<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> settling on 32nd Avenue in the <a href="Richmond_District%2C_San_Francisco" title="Richmond District, San Francisco">Richmond District</a>, where he grew up to be an active member of the student body at George Washington High School. Mathis would perform for his classmates, already a clear vocal talent at a young age.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a>

Clem Mathis worked in <a href="Vaudeville" title="Vaudeville">vaudeville</a> as a singer and pianist, and on realizing his son's talent, bought an old <a href="Upright_piano" class="mw-redirect" title="Upright piano">upright piano</a> for $25 ($447 in 2024 dollars<a href="#cite_note-inflation-US-12">[12]</a>) and encouraged Mathis' musical pursuits. He began learning songs and routines from his father, and his parents also ran his fan club. Mathis' first song was "<a href="My_Blue_Heaven_(song)" title="My Blue Heaven (song)">My Blue Heaven</a>",<a href="#cite_note-stationave-13">[13]</a> and he started singing and dancing for visitors at home, school, and church functions.<a href="#cite_note-lvol-14">[14]</a>

When Mathis was 13, voice teacher Connie Cox accepted him as her student in exchange for housework.<a href="#cite_note-Star-15">[15]</a> Mathis studied with Cox for six years, learning vocal scales and exercises, voice production, and classical and operatic singing. The first band he sang with was formed by his high school friend <a href="Merl_Saunders" title="Merl Saunders">Merl Saunders</a>. Mathis eulogized Saunders at his funeral in 2008, thanking him for that first chance to be a singer.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a>

Mathis was a star athlete at <a href="George_Washington_High_School_(San_Francisco)" title="George Washington High School (San Francisco)">George Washington High School</a> in San Francisco. He was a high jumper, hurdler, and basketball player. In 1954, Mathis enrolled at <a href="San_Francisco_State_College" class="mw-redirect" title="San Francisco State College">San Francisco State College</a> on an athletic scholarship, competing in both basketball and track and intending to become an English and physical education teacher.<a href="#cite_note-Star-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> There, he set a <a href="High_jump" title="High jump">high jump</a> record of <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1154941027">

While singing at a Sunday afternoon jam session with a friend's jazz sextet at the <a href="Black_Hawk_(nightclub)" title="Black Hawk (nightclub)">Black Hawk Club</a> in San Francisco, Mathis attracted the attention of the club's co-founder, Helen Noga. She became his music manager and found Mathis a job singing weekends at Ann Dee's 440 Club. In September 1955, Noga learned that <a href="George_Avakian" title="George Avakian">George Avakian</a>, head of Popular Music A&R at <a href="Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a>, was on vacation near San Francisco. After repeated calls, Noga persuaded Avakian to hear Mathis at the 440 Club. After hearing Mathis sing, Avakian sent his record company a telegram reading: "Have found phenomenal 19-year-old boy who could go all the way. Send blank contracts."<a href="#cite_note-lvol-14">[14]</a>

At San Francisco State, Mathis became noteworthy as a high jumper, and he was asked to try out for the U.S. Olympic Team that traveled to <a href="Melbourne" title="Melbourne">Melbourne</a> in November 1956.<a href="#cite_note-mathis-5">[5]</a> However, on his father's advice, Mathis opted to embark on a professional singing career.

Mathis' first album, <a href="Johnny_Mathis_(album)" title="Johnny Mathis (album)">Johnny Mathis: A New Sound In Popular Song</a>, was a slow-selling jazz album, but he stayed in New York City to sing in nightclubs. His second album was produced by <a href="Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a> vice president and record producer <a href="Mitch_Miller" title="Mitch Miller">Mitch Miller</a>, who helped to define the Mathis sound.

In late 1956, Mathis recorded two of his most popular songs: "<a href="Wonderful!_Wonderful!" title="Wonderful! Wonderful!">Wonderful!

Mathis performed the song at the ceremony in March 1958.

The album spent an unprecedented 490 consecutive weeks (nearly nine and a half years) on the Billboard top 200 album charts,<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> including three weeks at number one. It held the record for the most weeks on the top <a href="Billboard_200" title="Billboard 200">Billboard 200</a> albums in the U.S. for 15 years, until <a href="Pink_Floyd" title="Pink Floyd">Pink Floyd</a>'s <a href="The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon" title="The Dark Side of the Moon">The Dark Side of the Moon</a> (March 1973) reached 491 weeks in October 1983.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>

In October 1964, Mathis sued Noga to void their management arrangement, which Noga fought with a countersuit in December. After splitting from Noga, Mathis established Jon Mat Records, incorporated in California on May 11, 1967, to produce his recordings, and Rojon Productions, incorporated in California on September 30, 1964, to handle all his concert, theater, showroom, and TV appearances, and all promotional and charitable activities. (Previously, Mathis had founded Global Records to produce his Mercury albums.) Mathis' new manager and business partner was Ray Haughn, who helped guide Mathis' career until his death in 1984.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Popularity_plateau">Popularity plateau</h3></div>

While Mathis continued to make music, the ascent of the Beatles and early 1970s album rock kept his adult contemporary recordings off the pop singles charts until he experienced a career renaissance in the late 1970s. Mathis had the 1976 <a href="Christmas_number_one_single" class="mw-redirect" title="Christmas number one single">Christmas number one single</a> in the UK with the song "<a href="When_a_Child_Is_Born" title="When a Child Is Born">When a Child Is Born</a>", and two years later, he recorded "<a href="Too_Much%2C_Too_Little%2C_Too_Late" title="Too Much, Too Little, Too Late">Too Much, Too Little, Too Late</a>" with singer <a href="Deniece_Williams" title="Deniece Williams">Deniece Williams</a>. Nat Kipner and John McIntyre Vallins arranged its lyrics and music. Released as a single in 1978, it reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop chart, number nine on the Canadian Singles Chart, and number three on the U.K. Singles Chart. It also topped the US R&B and adult contemporary charts. "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" was certified gold and silver in the U.S. and the U.K. by the RIAA and the British Phonographic Industry, respectively. It was his first number one hit since "Chances Are".

The duo released a follow-up duet, their version of "<a href="You're_All_I_Need_to_Get_By" title="You're All I Need to Get By">You're All I Need to Get By</a>", that peaked at number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1983, they were credited with performing "Without Us", the theme song for the American television sitcom <a href="Family_Ties" title="Family Ties">Family Ties</a> from its second season onward. The success of his duets with Williams prompted Mathis to record duets with various partners, including <a href="Dionne_Warwick" title="Dionne Warwick">Dionne Warwick</a>, <a href="Natalie_Cole" title="Natalie Cole">Natalie Cole</a>, <a href="Gladys_Knight" title="Gladys Knight">Gladys Knight</a>, <a href="Jane_Olivor" title="Jane Olivor">Jane Olivor</a>, <a href="Stephanie_Lawrence" title="Stephanie Lawrence">Stephanie Lawrence</a>, and <a href="Nana_Mouskouri" title="Nana Mouskouri">Nana Mouskouri</a>. A compilation album, also called Too Much, Too Little, Too Late, was released by Sony Music in 1995 and featured the title track among other songs by Mathis and Williams.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Recent_years">Recent years</h3></div>

From 1980 to 1981, Mathis recorded an album with <a href="Chic_(band)" title="Chic (band)">Chic</a>'s <a href="Bernard_Edwards" title="Bernard Edwards">Bernard Edwards</a> and <a href="Nile_Rodgers" title="Nile Rodgers">Nile Rodgers</a>, <a href="I_Love_My_Lady" title="I Love My Lady">I Love My Lady</a>, that remained unreleased in its entirety until its 2017 appearance in the 68-disc collection <a href="The_Voice_of_Romance%3A_The_Columbia_Original_Album_Collection" title="The Voice of Romance: The Columbia Original Album Collection">The Voice of Romance: The Columbia Original Album Collection</a>. (Three tracks appeared on a Chic <a href="Box_set" title="Box set">box set</a> in 2010 and a fourth, the title track, on Mathis's Ultimate Collection in 2011 and the Chic Organization's <a href="Up_All_Night_(The_Chic_Organization_album)" title="Up All Night (The Chic Organization album)">Up All Night</a> in 2013.)

Mathis returned to the British Top 30 album chart in 2007 with the Sony BMG release The Very Best of Johnny Mathis; in 2008 with the CD "A Night to Remember"; and in 2011 with "The Ultimate Collection".<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a>

Mathis continued to perform live until 2025. Starting in 2000, he limited his concert performances to about 50 to 60 per year. Mathis was one of the last pop singers to travel with his own full orchestra, as opposed to a band. Mathis frequently collaborated with comedians <a href="Gary_Mule_Deer" title="Gary Mule Deer">Gary Mule Deer</a> and <a href="Brad_Upton_(comedian)" title="Brad Upton (comedian)">Brad Upton</a>, who provided stand-up comedy routines in between his sets.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a>

On January 14, 2016, Mathis performed to a sold-out audience in <a href="The_Villages%2C_Florida" title="The Villages, Florida">The Villages, Florida</a>, as part of his 60th Anniversary Concert Tour.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a>
