Make It Easy On Yourself, the album by Johnny Mathis, is a stunning display of his vocal range and talent. Released in 1973, the album features classic tunes such as "Where Do I Begin (Love Story)" and "We've Only Just Begun." Mathis's smooth and rich voice effortlessly transports the listener to a bygone era of romance and heartache.
The album's title track, "Make It Easy On Yourself," showcases Mathis's ability to convey the emotion in a song with his voice. His rendition of "The Way We Were" is equally powerful, with the lyrics perfectly suited to his melancholic delivery.
While the album is filled with ballads and slow songs, Mathis also demonstrates his versatility with upbeat tracks like "Sunny" and "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head." These tracks provide a nice contrast to the more somber songs and showcase Mathis's ability to handle different genres.
