Yes, it is. I play it at night and it puts me to sleep. Found the record in a thrift store and had to buy the CD. Ebay is my first place to search!

A ballad,after all,is simply a poetic,romantic poem set to music.It is the ideal song to sing. And simply stated,nobody handles a ballad better than a late 1950's Johnny Mathis. His voice range and phrasing are superb. In this cd we find Glenn Osser and his orchestra accompanying Johnny as he glides his way through the beautiful and touching love poetry within these twelve songs. Consider some of the following standards and a trickle of each lyric: "A RIDE ON A RAINBOW" Did you ever ride on a rainbow,sit starry-eyed on a rainbow? I did last night. Did you ever whirl on a rainbow,and kiss a girl on a rainbow? I did last night. "HEAVENLY" It's heavenly,heavenly;that's how it is when you're with me. Angels above could only be just half as happy as me. "SOMETHING I DREAMED LAST NIGHT" I've wined and dined and still no sight of you. I'm making believe you'll soon be here. I watch the door and sit and wait for you. It's just impossible hard as I try To convince myself we've really said goodbye. "STRANGER IN PARADISE" Oh why do the leaves on the mulberry tree whisper differently now? And why is the nightingale singing at noon on the mulberry bough? For some most mysterious reason this isn't a garden I know. No,it's paradise now that was only a garden a moment ago. Take my hand. I'm a stranger in paradise. "MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU" Stand there just a moment darling. Let me catch my breath. I've never seen a pacture quite so lovely. How did you ever learn to look so lovely? Lovely. Moonlight becomes you. (The use of the word "lovely" is extraordinary. The gentleman is so awed by her beauty that she could not just naturally be so lovely-she must have LEARNED to be so beautiful)! These and other lyrics from such ballads as "Misty" and "I'll Be Easy to Find",amongst others,make this a wonderful listening experience. Anyone looking for love,presently in love,or pining for a lost love will find this cd a poetic love journey with Glenn Osser's violins and Johnny's rich range of intimate tones. Take a ride on this beautiful rainbow!Read full review
