Both of Johnny Mathis' parents are African-American. His mother (Mildred Boyd Mathis) was fair complexioned and his father (Clem Mathis, Sr.) had a similar bronze complexion as his son, Johnny Mathis. Like over 80 percent of people in the United States who are classified as "Black" and/or "African American," Mathis has a mixed ancestry.
