About The Rhythms and Ballads of Broadway

The Rhythms and Ballads of Broadway is a double album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in September 1960 by Columbia Records. Despite the order of the words in the title, the ballads actually make up sides one and two while the uptempo numbers fill sides three and four. The album debuted on Billboard magazine's album chart in the issue dated October 3, 1960, and stayed on the list for 27 weeks, during which time it peaked at number six. Columbia also released the album as two separate LPs in 1960 titled Ballads of Broadway and Rhythms of Broadway. The two-LP set was released for the first time on compact disc on June 7, 1999. more »
