(1974-1976), 2017's A New Career in a New Town (1977-1982) and 2018's Loving The Alien (1983-1988) - will cover the widest span of time yet: 1993

Johnny Mathis I Love My Lady

Johnny Mathis was billed on his very first album as "A New Sound in Popular Song."  In the decades since that 1956 debut, the vocalist has always explored new avenues in pop from Latin music to Philly soul.  But the most adventurous of Mathis' 60-plus albums may be the one that got away...until now.  Tomorrow, Second Disc Records and Real Gone Music will proudly present the first-ever standalone compact disc release of I Love My Lady, the remarkable 1981 album by two American treasures: Johnny

As both devoted and casual fans know, "Let's Dance," from Bowie's 15th studio album of the same name in 1983, marked a sea change for the enigmatic performer. Having pushed the envelope dabbling in glam, disco and alternative rock during the late '60s and '70s, Bowie -
