THE SUNDAY STAR. Washington, D. C.
TOP TEEN TUNES
High Jumper With Tour Voices'
By HARRY BACAS
A few weeks ago we had a dis
appointed baseball player who had
turned into a recording star. To
day it’s a former high jumper.
Not a disappointed one, though.
Johnny Mathis, making a new ca
reer for himself as a Columbia
Records singing star, left athletics
only because he could go no higher.
Johnny is from San Francisco.
He was one of the best all-around
athletes ever to come out of that
city's public school system.
He was an all-city basketball
player at George Washington High
in San Francisco and broke city
records In the high jump and
hurdles.
Measuring only 5-foot-7 himself,
he topped the high jump bar at
6 feet s'a Inches, a leap matched
only four times in the history of
the Olympic games.
Potful of Medals
He went on to San Francisco
State College and In his freshman
year collected another potful of
medals —American Athletic Associa
tion, Stockton Relays. Fresno West
Coast Relays, Far Western Confer
ence and Pacific Association A.A.U.
Championship.
But the 19-year-old athlete had
even more talents than those he
displayed on the track and field.
Two summers ago, he became a
professional singer, working in San
Francisco's 440 Club. For those
who knew him, it wasn't much of
iff;
Bk

JOHNNY MATHIS
a surprise. Johnny's father was a
former vaudevilllan who had been
teaching him songs and comedy
routines since he was 10 years old.
That summer he also worked
week ends in a local opera group
which was producing Leonard Bern
stein's “Trouble In Tahiti.’’
Then Columbia Records heard of
him and George Avakian, Colum
bia’s producer of popular albums,
dropped Into the 440 Club one
night to listen to Johnny sing.
A Junior King Cole
He signed him to a recording con
tract Later, describing him as a
junior King Cole, he sard:
“He could do as many different
TEEN,
things as four very different singers
might, and do them well.’'
But Mr. Avakian thought he
needed more seasoning and soon
Johnny was in New York, singing
at such clubs as the Blue Angel,
the Village Vanguard and Basin
Street.
Columbia put out an album dem
onstrating the versatility of this
young man with "four voices.”
This week's record, “It’s Not for
Me to Say” and "Wonderful, Won
derful.” is his biggest hit so far.
Johnny Mathis Isn't sure that his
transformation from high-jump ar
tist to singing star Is permanent.
He hasn't foreclosed other possibili
ties. While continuing to study mu
sic, he wants to take courses in
dancing and dramatics as well.
Maybe—Just maybe—there are
even more astonishing careers ahead
for him!

Center will give a fashion show

a five-week summer program in
