Rapture is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on September 17, 1962,[1] by Columbia Records and returned him to singing a full line-up of the sort of ballads that he was known for.
[6] Billboard captured the feel of the album in their review.
"'Velvety' is a good one-word description of this new album by Mathis, who's given lush musical settings by Don Costa's ork.
"[4] The review also noted that a small reproduction of the cover painting was included with the LP as a bonus.
