Allmusic[2]

Once in a While is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on May 23, 1988,[1] by Columbia Records and found him returning to the practice of covering contemporary hits but also mixing in lesser-known songs already recorded by other artists along with a few new ones ("Daydreamin'", "From a Whisper to a Scream", "Two Strong Hearts").

Although the album did not make it onto Billboard magazine's Top Pop Albums chart, the song "I'm on the Outside Looking In" did reach number 27 during its 12 weeks on the magazine's list of the 40 Hot Adult Contemporary songs of the week in the US that began in the issue dated July 2 of that year.[4]

Reception

The album received a positive retrospective review from Allmusic, where Bil Carpenter praised the "outstanding street corner-style singing" on the title track and "I'm on the Outside Looking In" and also had kind words for "From a Whisper to a Scream" and "Two Strong Hearts".[2]

Song information

Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra spent seven weeks at number one in Billboard magazine in 1937 with "Once in a While",[5] which is the oldest of the songs Mathis covers this time around. "I'm on the Outside Looking In" by Little Anthony and the Imperials reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100[6] and number eight on the magazine's Hot R&B singles chart in 1964.[7] And the recording of "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)" by The Four Tops earned Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America and peaked at number two R&B,[8] number four pop,[9] and number 14 on the magazine's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in the US in 1973.[10]

Todd Rundgren's "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" first appeared on his 1972 album Something/Anything?,[11] and "Just Like You" was recorded by Dennis Edwards for his 1984 LP Don't Look Any Further.[12] Smokey Robinson included "Love Brought Us Here Tonight" on his 1987 album One Heartbeat,[13] and Lauren Wood's original recording of "Fallen" appeared on her 1981 release Cat Trick[14] but received its widest exposure as one of the songs heard in the 1990 film Pretty Woman[15] and on its soundtrack album,[16] which was released two years after this album and sold 3 million copies.[17] The duet on this album, "Two Strong Hearts" (with Dionne Warwick), was also released as a solo outing in 1988 by John Farnham on his Age of Reason album;[18] his version got as high as number 38 on Billboard magazine's Adult Contemporary chart[19] and number five in Australia.[20]
