The Mathis Collection is a compilation album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in the UK in 1977 by the CBS Records division of Columbia.
 The subtitle on the cover reads, "40 of my favorite songs", and a statement from Mathis in the liner notes says, "Songs are very personal things.
 On this double album I have attempted to put together a collection of those which are most meaningful for me.
 I hope they mean as much to you."
 The compilation includes six of the 12 songs that had reached the UK singles chart by the time of its release ("A Certain Smile", "Winter Wonderland", "Someone", "Misty", "I'm Stone in Love with You", and his UK number one from 1976, "When a Child Is Born") but focuses mainly on album tracks.
"When A Child Is Born" is a popular Christmas song.
 The original melody was "Soleado", a tune from 1974 by (alias Zacar), composer for Italy's Daniel Sentacruz Ensemble, and Dario Baldan Bembo.
 The tune was based on Damicco's earlier tune "Le rose blu" published in 1972.
 The English language lyrics were written a few years later by Fred Jay (Friedrich Alex Jacobson IPI number 00015195204, who wrote many hits for Boney M such as Rasputin and Ma Baker).
 They do not make specific mention of Christmas but the importance they attach to looking forward to the birth of one particular child somewhere, anywhere, suggests a reference to the birth of Jesus Christ, and the citing of "a tiny star" that "lights up way up high" may allude to the Star of Bethlehem.
 Fred Jay's lyrics have been sung by many artists, most successfully by Johnny Mathis in 1976.
