John Royce Mathis was highly popular back in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. He's the 3rd biggest selling artist of the 20th century after Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. He's also a gay man that hid his sexuality for years.

However, with the changing times, Mathis can now proudly admit that he is gay. According to him, his parents and close friends knew that he was gay from an early age and he kept it under wraps in order to protect his career.
