The superstar crooner sold 360 million records worldwide during his famous career, which dates back to the mid-1950s and reportedly has a net worth of $400 million.

At the age of 13, he began studying under the tutelage of singing teacher Connie Cox after accepting him as her student in exchange for work in her home in the late 1940s.

Ultimately, he honed his craft with Cox for six years, learning scales and exercises, voice production, classical singing and opera singing.

Out of respect and gratitude, Mathis took to social media in May 2018 and shared a photo of Cox, along with a message about how important she was in helping him learn about singing and music as a whole.

“Here’s a rare photo of Connie Cox, the amazing teacher who helped young Johnny refine his vocal skills, trading odd jobs in her studio for singing lessons,” he wrote in the caption on X – formerly Twitter. ’62 years later, he still sings her praises every day. Thank goodness for teachers like her! #TeacherAppreciationDay.”
