While at George Washington, Mathis served as student body treasurer and was a member of the basketball and track teams. His senior yearbook states, \u201cWhen the name Johnny Mathis is mentioned the hearts of Washingtonians open up to a boy with a magic voice that was loved by everyone.\u201d Mathis started singing as a young teenager, and it was soon evident that he had a lot of talent. During college, however, he had the chance to try out for the U.S. Olympic team as a high jumper. He ended up having to choose between the tryout and keeping an appointment to record his first album. He chose the latter, and the rest is history. Mathis has recorded over 70 studio albums, incorporating a variety of musical genres (jazz, pop, Brazilian music, etc.), and is considered to be the third best-selling musical artist of the 20<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Awards (partial list):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences&nbsp;<strong>Lifetime Achievement Award<\/strong>. 2003<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Society of Singers&nbsp;<strong>Lifetime Achievement Award<\/strong>. 2006<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hit Parade Hall of Fame inductee. 2007<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Wikipedia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johnny Mathis Singer Birthdate:&nbsp;Sep 30, 1935 High School:&nbsp;George Washington High School Yearbooks:&nbsp;1951&nbsp;|&nbsp;1954 Yearbook photos of Johnny Mathis from&nbsp;George Washington High School &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; John Royce \u201cJohnny\u201d Mathis&nbsp;(born September 30, 1935) is a singer.
