Brazilian origin?

In the "Early life and education" it is written that Johnny Mathis "is from Brazilian and Spanish origins." I had never heard about his brazilian origins! From which source comes this info? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.61.108.131 (talk) 21:02, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Sold 360M+ records worldwide?

I could not find this fact in other sources, and it is not cited here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.68.81.189 (talk) 05:56, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

::This information is in the top-level paragraph again, describing him as the third best-selling artist of the 20th century, but that seems completely inaccurate based on any other sources I can find. The paragraph says "According to Guinness Music writer and charts historian Paul Gambaccini" but there is no citation. 2600:4041:5BFD:6F00:5441:1056:2946:B4B7 (talk) 16:05, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
