The Hits of Johnny Mathis is a compilation album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in the UK in 1995 by Columbia Records and has three of his UK singles chart entries ("Misty", "I'm Stone in Love with You", and his 1981 duet remake of "When a Child Is Born" with Gladys Knight).
 This collection, however, focuses primarily on his covers of hits from the late 1960s through the 1970s.
The Johnny Mathis Collection is a compilation album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in the UK in 1976 by Hallmark and Pickwick Records in arrangement with the CBS Records division of Columbia.
 This is a two-LP set, with the first two sides being what is actually a reissue of the singer's 1961 compilation "Portrait of Johnny" and the second two being 10 tracks from three other albums: 1959's "Faithfully", 1967's "Up, Up and Away" and 1968's "Those Were the Days".
The Complete Christmas Collection 1958–2010 is a three-disc box set by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in 2015 by Real Gone Music under license from Columbia Records.

 It also compiles all of Mathis's holiday songs that were only released as singles, as well as thematically-appropriate tracks from his non-holiday albums: "When a Child Is Born" from "I Only Have Eyes for You", the holiday version of "What a Wonderful World" from "Let It Be Me", and his two recordings of "Ave Maria" from "Good Night, Dear Lord", which bookend the set.

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.
