Yes, he's incredible. A little slower in the walk, but the voice, phrasing, and expression is definitely still there. Lovely to see him still performing, and so dapper as usual.
Unlike the majority of older popular artists who often need to lower the key of their original recordings by a whole step or more, Mr. Mathis is singing in the same key he sang “Misty” when he was 23 yrs. old. Coupled with his awareness and control of his current vocal instrument…well, that’s the sign of authentic artistry.
The applause when he hit the high note was so well deserved. He's taken great care of that unique voice. We're all thankful for that. Wishing him many more years of success.
That man's voice was the loving glue that brought so many couples together, every time we heard his voice. I was born in 1947, and he became the first real, beautiful sound most of us heard as teenagers. Whenever anyone speaks of CLASSIC. Johnny Mathis has always been the standard of love for all to cherish.
Those saying he looks awful and should quit, if he didn't have singing he'd be gone and we are SO lucky to have him. God gave him a great gift. Thanks for sharing it for 90 years Johnny. We love you. ❤
When I noticed him drop the line at 2:03 in another video of a recent "Misty" performance, I thought he had momentarily blanked. I now realize he's giving himself some time to get his voice properly placed for the falsetto "on" at 2:13. The care he's obviously taken of his instrument, and knowing its limitations at this stage of his career, are doubtless the reasons he's still able to perform at such a high level even as he approaches 90. The term "national treasure" gets tossed around a lot, but Mathis truly deserves the title. (Now where's his Kennedy Center Honor, already... LL Cool J has one, but not Johnny???)
@@borgullet3376 You're right, but I'm also not wrong. In his recorded version of the song, he doesn't sing ANY of the bridge. Since he does sing most of it here, but dropped the line "don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost... that's why I'm following you", it at first sounded to me like it might not have been intentional. Now, however, I'm fairly certain it was, in an effort to ensure he nailed the note at 2:13.
I understand you now. I always remembered the original recording had the string interlude just before he hits that high note Thank goodness we still have him here to discuss these things ! Stay Blessed @ericholck3914 & Happy Holidays to you.
WOW! IS THAT MR. MATHIS??? I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT HIM AND DENIECE WILLIAMS. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! HE STILL SOUNDS GREAT!!! AND HASN'T MISSED A BEAT! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful, not even time has stopped this sweet and melodious voice who, in my opinion, is one of the greatest singers of all time. Thank you Mr. Johnny Mathias for giving us your music ❤
In my opinion, this man makes every song he sings better . His voice and song selection make him one of he great singers in my long lifetime of listening to music. I wouldn't want to celebrate Christmas season without hearing his Christmas renditons.
Gorgeous! Simply GORGEOUS! I ADORE Johnny! You can feel the love and the joy in his singing! Every note is pure magic! Keep singing, Johnny! You are the true example of what it means to be young at heart!
Just remember Johnny Mathis gave us remarkable songs to treasure....that's natural he aged gracefully like fine wine so with his songs....Bravo Mr.Mathis....
So sad to see him struggle walking. Ive seen him in quite a few concerts. Im 70 and had a major crush on him. Had most of his 8 tracks. I love his voice ❤
Sad to see how these great iconic crooners of the past aging to the point any day they can be gone ! They still sound great ,Just watched Englebert also do a show and sounded great but now these great entertainers are having a hard time walking the stage ! Wishing many more years of health to these Great singers !Once their gone their gone !The next generation of Singers will never compare to the ones we all had the honor of hearing and seeing live ,There will never be another time in the music industry of talent that will ever compare to what we all were blessed with !Music Today is Total SHIT and thats being Nice !
I’m 51 and Johnny was one of my mom’s favorites. She’s been gone along time now and this is a show I need to see before it’s too late for either one of us. I haven’t seen his set list but I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be at least 1 that’ll have my eyes running during his show.
Mr. Mathis, thank you for all the years of your music. I still own many of the original albums from 60's and 70's. You are one amazing man and voice! You still have such control and talent! God bless you for all the joy you have brought millions!
I last saw him in San Francisco 11 years ago. He’s been gone from the bay area since he sold his house in Burlingame in the late 60’s. He doesn’t seem to miss his “homeland”.
He still has the magic in his voice, I went to see him ages ago and it is sad how he moves around the stage he used to come on that stage as if he owned it and you could see in his youth basketball kept him young and agile.
I've loved Johnny Mathis since the 60's he has never been changed by the times. His voice and message was always one of sincerity. He sang what everyone who was listening was feeling. He stands alone. He is wonderful! More power to you, Johnny! May God Bless You.
Johnny you are The Best. I will always love hearing you sing. You take me to peaceful places. Thank you for giving yourself to the music world. You are so very loved. 🎶😻❤️
For an 88 year old singer , his voice is little changed from the time when this song originated all those many years ago. Regardless of a slightly diminished ability to walk in the fashion of a youngster, his stage presence and performance is 100% top notch .. Bravo Mr. Mathis … You Are A True Legend ❤️❤️❤️✨🌟✨❤️❤️❤️
Amazing voice still....hitting that very high note in Misty was incredible!!!!!! I have seen him in concert 3 times and I have many of his records. 🤩🥰💋
One beautiful and amazing gentleman. My first record, bought way back, was this amazing singer's wonderful song, 'Misty'. He's been my hero and favourite ever since. Thank you, Mr. Mathis....
Cara. Ele ja esta bem velhinho. Lembro-me de escutar seus discos quando pequeno junto ao meu saudoso pai. Mas a voz aveludada e afinadissima está ainda lá!
79 years old and I remember listening to him and seeing a beautiful young man with a voice that ...poured out of his open mouth that was pure liquid gold and it always seemed so effortless ...like a gentle fog rolling in and and consuming you ...thanks so much for the posting with all that misinformation ...and the confesion was great tooo ...talk her way out of anything that woman ;-)
I Saw Him In Concert Last May Of 2023 In Salt Lake City And When I Was Born In 1957 Is When He First Appeared On The Ed Sullivan Show And Sang That Wonderful Signature Song Of His “ Chances Are”. I Watched That Video Recently And It Was Performed So Beautifully! ❤️🎶
Um MONSTRO SAGRADO ..O MAIOR DE TODOS OS TEMPOS.O ULTIMO DOS MOUCANOS,MAIS CANTANDO DIVINAMENTE.COM 88 ANOS CANTANDO ASSIM E COISA DIVINA.IDOLO DOS MEUS PAIS!?
All of us get older and we lose our edge. It's sad to see the results of that. And I know that will happen to me as well. We love you Johnny. Thank you for all you have given us.
I am now 77 years old and throughout my life, Johnny Mathis has been one of my very favorite singers. He is a national treasure!
Me too 😊
Most of Johnny's fans, myself included, have been his fans since the very beginning.
Tenho 76 anos e Johnny Mathis é um dos meus cantores favoritos desde o início de sua carreira. Simplesmente maravilhoso! ❤❤
Chances are a helluva lotta people feel the same way as you.
He has always had the most awesome voice. He still has the singing voice
The body is aged but that voice he still sounds incredible. God bless him. ❤
Yes,
Yes, he's incredible. A little slower in the walk, but the voice, phrasing, and expression is definitely still there. Lovely to see him still performing, and so dapper as usual.
Hello, we all age
Still sounds so good. Singing in the same key!❤️❤️
Does he have any kids? If he does do they sing too
Continua cantando maravilhosamente!👋👋👋👋👋
How cool! 88 years old performing like he is (at least) 20 years younger! How very cool!
He’s 90
September, 1935
He's 88
88 years old holy cow!
❤❤wow

He's 88 years old. God Bless him. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
WOW!!! He's still has it!!! That beautiful voice!!!
@@robinlooney5440 Absolutely 💯
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
omg what a fantastic voice puts modern singers to shame .
Unlike the majority of older popular artists who often need to lower the key of their original recordings by a whole step or more, Mr. Mathis is singing in the same key he sang “Misty” when he was 23 yrs. old. Coupled with his awareness and control of his current vocal instrument…well, that’s the sign of authentic artistry.
The high note he sings in this “live” performance is the same A-natural he sang “live” in 1958.
Amazing!
Actually, the original is in E flat, this one in D. Still amazing.
@@jixmy0204: Thanks for the key correction for the original Columbia disc (indeed, it’s in Eb) and, as you said, it’s still amazing a half-tone down.
I love Johnny Mathis what a voice after all these yrs. Happy. Holiday🌲🌲🌲and a Merry Christmas
His voice has always been a gift from God. No one like him or ever will be. Gorgeous voice. Thank you Johnny Mathis❤
Truly❤❤❤
And he's still able to sing his trademark "on my own" (2:02 - 2:19) like when he sang it in his 20s. Respect for that
" THE BEST SINGER THAT EVER WALKED THIS EARTH" ive seen Johnny and met him to talk too .
How does he still have that incredible voice ? It’s still BEAUTIFUL! And I’m STILL swept away!
He still sings beautiful his voice sounds when he was young love you❤
I'll always love Johnny Mathis. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us for so many years!
Absolute legendary singer. Beautiful singer, amazing still for his age. ❤️❤️
Wow. He sounds great - no aging in his voice. Still totally unique . May he continue to entertain for many years to come.
❤AMAZING JOHNNY...CONGRATULACIONS🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
I am in my 70s I remember as a girl I was so in love with his voice, and he still has that beautiful voice. I still love his voice
I’m so glad I met Johnny Mathis he is the sweetest person ever. Very talented.
My goodness his voice is still as beautiful as it was when he wore a younger mans clothes fantastic!! ❤🙏❤
The applause when he hit the high note was so well deserved. He's taken great care of that unique voice. We're all thankful for that. Wishing him many more years of success.
This actually brought tears to my eyes. Life is good when you have a Johnny Mercer song sung by Johnny Mathis.
Mine too 😭🙏❤
" PERFECTION"
Truly a NATIONAL TREASURE! Where is his Kennedy Center Honor. L.L.COOL J. Please!!! Somebody at that organization needs to see the PSY!
WOW, that was great, he still has the vocals, what a GOD send he is.
That man's voice was the loving glue that brought so many couples together, every time we heard his voice.
I was born in 1947, and he became the first real, beautiful sound most of us heard as teenagers.

NO VOICE is as his.

DAMN I LOVE JOHNNY MATHIS. Always a class act.

Johnny Mathis is for sure a treasure.
It's so ridiculous that Johnny hasn't had this honor bestowed upon him.
thats not a dropped line, that pause before the high note was always how he has sung it.
@@borgullet3376 You're right, but I'm also not wrong. In his recorded version of the song, he doesn't sing ANY of the bridge.

Well,coming from a 64 year old musician,who is sad,lonely,& depressed,thank you sir,for at least a glimmer of a smile.
Just remember Johnny Mathis gave us remarkable songs to treasure....that's natural he aged gracefully like fine wine so with his songs....Bravo Mr.Mathis....
This man is amazing! I saw him perform live a year or so before the pandemic and his voice was crystal clear. So inspirational!
So sad to see him struggle walking. Ive seen him in quite a few concerts. Im 70 and had a major crush on him. Had most of his 8 tracks. I love his voice ❤

Classy man. Beautiful voice. Thank you Johnny ❤. You’re a national treasure!

Jonny Mathis is a fine singer and seemingly a nice man too.
I last saw him in San Francisco 11 years ago. He’s been gone from the bay area since he sold his house in Burlingame in the late 60’s. He doesn’t seem to miss his “homeland”.
“The Twelfth Of Never” is my favorite J. Mathis song! 💖
The most amazing guy would of loved to of seen him in concert but I don’t think he will tour England again his voice is still beautiful
Love him that voice is amazing still!
Christmas is not Christmas to me until I hear him sing Holy night, my mother had every album he ever made…💕
88 Years of JOY To Hear ... God Bless You Abundantly, Sir Johnny Mathis !!
One of those voices ...when you hear it you know who it is.
If Johnny and Barbra put out an album together, it could totally break all records. They both sound superb today
Good Lord, that was just amazing. Thank you so much for uploading this gem.
His voice has not diminished with age . ❤. He’s part of my theme song of my life . The memories that this song brings . God bless you Johnny 🙏

One of the very best vocalists of all time and for many the absolute BEST. An absolute LEGEND.
He is 88 years old here. Recently turned 89. The voice is every bit as good as when he was in his 20's. That all by itself is absolutely amazing.
I saw him in Texas in 1980, and wow his voice has not changed Mr Mathis you are incredible. ❤
His voice always makes me smile. Always. ❤
Tired body but still beautiful voice! ❤❤❤
