In 1956 came his first feature on Bethlehem Records, record the songs were accompanied by the Quartet of Howard McGhee. The album was not a commercial success, but that was offset by his record with Coltrane, "John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman" from 1963. The singer still knew Coltrane from his time with Gillespie. The saxophonist approached Hartman via the producer of the record, Bob Thiele. The six songs, including "Lush Life", were recorded in one day. The record became an instant jazz classic with different 'final' versions. The album gave wings to hartmans career, but he would not be known to the general public. In 1980 he took his latest record, "Once in Every Life", for which he received a Grammynomination. Music of this album was in 1995 by Director Clint Eastwood used in his film "The Bridges of Madison County". Hartman in 1986 was inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame.
