NotesThe First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)/Song Sung Blue [Expanded Edition] Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records are proud to continue their journey through the catalog of the legendary Voice of Romance, Johnny Mathis, with an expanded 2-CD release comprising both of the artist's classic albums originally released in 1972: The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face) and Song Sung Blue. These teamed Mathis with renowned producer Jerry Fuller (Gary Puckett and The Union Gap, The Knickerbockers, Mark Lindsay) for the first time on a selection of the seventies' most timeless pop melodies, all in the velvety-smooth Mathis style. The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face) had not only Mathis' rendition of the hit popularized by Roberta Flack but also classics introduced by The Stylistics ("Betcha by Golly Wow"), America ("I Need You"), and The 5th Dimension ("(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All") as well as beloved themes from The Godfather, Summer of '42, Brian's Song, and Kotch. Neil Diamond's hits were celebrated on Song Sung Blue, along with favorites by Gilbert O'Sullivan ("Alone Again Naturally"), Carpenters ("Goodbye to Love") and The Bee Gees ("Run to Me"). Mathis also delivered a honeyed tribute to Nat "King" Cole with "Too Young" and returned to the songbook of Burt Bacharach and Hal David with a top 20 AC hit ("Make It Easy on Yourself"). Three bonus tracks have been added: the single of Henry Mancini's "Sometimes" and the outtakes "Remember the Good" and "Morning Has Broken." The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)/Song Sung Blue features rare photos of the artist and liner notes by The Second Disc's Joe Marchese based on fresh interviews with Johnny Mathis, Jerry Fuller, and Thom Bell. Both albums, remastered by Mike Piacentini at Sony's Battery Studios, are making their first-ever standalone CD debuts as part of this series.
