I have liked Johnny 51 years since I was 15 years old. No one is better, and no one is even close to his talent. Wish they made music 1/10 as good as it was back then. Instead of the garbage they have been at least this past 30 years if not a bit more.
Yes I do he gets me through my life I am 76 loved him since I was 17 glad to know someone else feels the same he so beautiful an his voice is heavenly even now he is 85 hope he goes on and keeps safe
There will never ever be another Johnny Mathis. The emotion he puts into his songs, is just not to be believed. When he sings, it brings out all your emotions, and then you look at that beautiful man and wonder...........how is this possible. He makes it seems so easy, a voice of velvet. It will live on and on and on.
I hate it when the singers of today say they were inspired by singers from the past like Johnny. What an insult, because like you said music is 99% trash today.

I have heard this song since 1975, traveling with my family in a Ford galaxy... Album SONG SONG BLUE... 1973... STEREO ( !! ) GREAT SINGER !! I COULD NEVER FORGET !! Now I have this album, and hear with my wife and daughter... I live in Brazil... One day I will go to USA just for see a J. M. show... Thanks a lot...
This man has had a part of my heart for forever. I not only love to listen to him, I love looking at him. He is so very wonderful. No one can sing and make me cry like Johnny can. I love you Johnny Mathis. Thank you for giving me years of wonderful music.
You have taken every word out of my mouth. I just didn't know how to put it in words. My husband and I have been to many of this concerts and I cry after every one of his songs and I can't take my eyes off of him.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. The music is fantastic, and the lyrics are wonderful, even though they are heartbreaking. The first time I heard it was probably not very long after it came out (probably in my teens). (Yes, I'm that old.) The first version I remember was sung by Lou Rawls, and the second version I heard was by the Walker Brothers. They are both wonderful; but when I heard this version by Johnny Mathis, it became my favorite. I can listen to it over and over and over.
I hope you come to the U.S. and see Johnny- these are the good years to do so- he's still going strong. Great album- and I do love this song- as it seems so many do. enjoy.
Such a great melody by Burt Bacharach and very great lyrics by the late Hal David. Johnny Mathis makes this song very emotional too. Well done orchestrated
This song has captured me,once more,Lenore.I needed this this morning to help me deal with this catastrophic world and its current events.Johnny soothes my anxieties at times.I thank you once more.
When Johnny was a young star, the world was so smooth, so pleasant, so nice to be a part of. It's enough to make you sob to think how it's become today. No one feels safe. No one feels secure. Life in America is not nice to be a part of. Johnny did his best, and we adored him for it. So easy to listen to. So soothing. And yes, so romantic.
WOW - how did I get this far in life and not get more of this guy's brilliance! Blown away! He makes it so smooth + song flows so effortlessly => flawlessness + pure genius!
JOHN ROYCE MATHIS , A KILLER VERSION, LIL ANTONY, WATCH OUT, JOHNNY, HAS THE ABILITY, TO MAKE YOU FORGET, THE ORIGINAL!! THE POWER, AND RANGE HE HAS, IS BEYOND BELIEF!! HIS OPERATIC TRAINING, SUBLIMELY SHOWS!! MY FRIEND, YOU ARE THE CREME' DE LA CREME' !! ETERNALLY LOVE HIM!! SUZAN C. WILSON
Love this song.This is a difficult song to sing. Johnny Mathis is excellent.This arrangement at the end with all the different cord changes is great.Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to listen to it for the fourth time right now.
When Johnny sings he is the music. You can see it in his face and that's how I hear music. I love his music. I grew up listening to him all over our house!
Magnificent. With that said, the Ice Man gets the Blue Ribbon. Jerry Vale did a good job.. Johnny Mathis is, without a doubt, one of our best singers of all time. I love Wonderful, Wonderful.
Rosalie Cory oh my gosh... As I was reading your post, I was remembering my mom and crying. She used to play this record and slow dance with my dad... singing along with Johnny. Her name was ROSALIE.😢😢😢♥️♥️♥️
JOHNNY HAS ONE OF THE TRUEST AND BLESSED VOICES IN THE WORLD IF YOU JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LISTEN HOW HIS VIBRATO EASES INTO EVERY SCALE WITHOUT MISSING A NOTE!!👼
Sorry this reminds you of something sad. Music creates many feelings within us- . .. Thanks for your nice comment. I'm glad that you're enjoying these overall, Michael.
thank you very much, Sandy. Upon just learning of Hal David's (lyricist partner- Bacharach and David), passing on Saturday, his words and their combined genius are all the more poignant. Simple but deep lyrics easily touching our hearts- with Johnny's emotive vulnerability- we 'get it' all the more.
Johnny Mathis is the best singer in the world, don't you agree?
Wonderful interpretation from Johnny Mathis music's Burt Bacharach
Absolutely kills this tune.....
I have loved this man's singing for more years than I care to remember. He is the absolute best. His voice is incomparable.
This IS a wonderful rendition of this song. Mathis absolutely makes it is own.
I have loved John for 66yrs never once has he disappointed me every song he sings is perfection, love John xx❤
He’s still alive and singing ❤
That was very good yes ..😍

My wife had me listen to Johnny years ago and she was right; one of the best voices of our time.
Stunning. God bless you Johnny. X
Absolutely beautiful! This is a singer, this is a song. Nowadays music is 99% trash.
Seems we've devolved as a society, and the fate of music is indicative of that. Even Elton John said it's all crap now.
I hate it when the singers of today say they were inspired by singers from the past like Johnny. What an insult, because like you said music is 99% trash today.

ruclips.net/video/sTXLgU1Ol4Q/видео.html I'm trying to get this fellow to do some Johnny Mathis songs...what do you think?
My sister loved him too. She saw him in the 50s and 60s, and adored him. She passed away two years ago on new years eve, and is always in my heart.
Came out as gay officially at the tender age of 82
Not bad going
How old did manilow do it ?
There is no voice that can compare to Johnny Mathis. He truly has avDIVINE GIFT., AND YES, LOOKING AT HIM IS OURE OKEASURE AS WELL!😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Enough said.
A interpretação de Jonhy passa tanta emoção que tenho vontade de chorar ! É muito lindo !❤❤
A Most Talented Musician. A voice like no other. Seen him in concert half doz times. Never ceases to amaze me. Love you Johnny.

This gentleman never ceases to amaze me. Pure class, the whole package. ❤️
Is he the same guy who won Seattle a Super Bowl? No, guess that was Russell Wilson.
Beautiful interpretation with deep feeling, one of Bacharach/David best songs, No better brake up song.
This is incredible Lenore...thank you...brings tears....that voice...There is a GOD in heaven..
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. The music is fantastic, and the lyrics are wonderful, even though they are heartbreaking. The first time I heard it was probably not very long after it came out (probably in my teens). (Yes, I'm that old.)

INCREDIBLE, AWESOME Johnny ....YOU ARE THE BEST ......THANK YOU AD GOD BLESS YOU
Amazing one-ofa-kind voice
I hope you come to the U.S. and see Johnny- these are the good years to do so- he's still going strong. Great album- and I do love this song- as it seems so many do. enjoy.
Best rendition of this song. Burt Bacharach and Hal David were great! Johnny captures it perfectly
Truly a genuine voice!
Such a great melody by Burt Bacharach and very great lyrics by the late Hal David. Johnny Mathis makes this song very emotional too. Well done orchestrated
Classically beautiful. Miss you Johnny. Always loved you!
Excellent interpretation of this version which so many people have covered, Johnny Well Done.

Marvelous. Absolutely gorgeous music.

He reaches the height and depth of emotion with this,intensely expressive vocal.As always,thank you Lenore for this.Good day.C'est tout.

WOW - how did I get this far in life and not get more of this guy's brilliance!
Blown away! He makes it so smooth + song flows so effortlessly => flawlessness + pure genius!
He sang so loud but never sounded strained like others did,a voice that many male singers envied,but could not accomplish .
Such a gifted soul that has worked hard to share his talent with the world.
Love Johnny, this is a lovely find. I get all goose bumpy! Thank you!
@Johnnymathis- Thank you! I'm thrilled.
JOHN ROYCE MATHIS , A KILLER VERSION, LIL ANTONY, WATCH OUT, JOHNNY, HAS THE ABILITY, TO MAKE YOU FORGET, THE ORIGINAL!! THE POWER, AND RANGE HE HAS, IS BEYOND BELIEF!!

Johnny killed this song. Wonderful, wonderful.
This man certainly knows he has "the voice"!
God Bless your Parents..They loved you so ..John
intricate arrangement but Johnny Mathis handles the challenge superbly. He's a master of his music! love him!
I get goosebumps!
I had no idea that Johnny covered this great song by Bacharach and David "Make it Easy On Yourself"! I've never heard it delivered with such passion!
And Dionne Warwick. Love Johnny
Jerry Butler also does this song as well.
that's great Carol! So many fabulous songs- so glad this is a special one for you. Thank you ! enjoy.
Love this song.This is a difficult song to sing. Johnny Mathis is excellent.This arrangement at the end with all the different cord changes is great.Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to listen to it for the fourth time right now.

Superb as usual Lenore - spellbinding. thanks for lovely photos.

I remember listening to this classic song on KOY AM 55 a legendary MOR station. Thanks for posting it.
John Stevens you’re very welcome!
The note at the 2:37 mark sends chills... Fabulous song and video!
Sorry this reminds you of something sad. Music creates many feelings within us- . .. Thanks for your nice comment. I'm glad that you're enjoying these overall, Michael.
Amo esta musica,saudades de um grande amor de Belem,tempis bons que nao voltara jamais
A voice like no other...truly one of the very best.
I am glad it was here for you- Johnny has that unique capacity. Take good care.
You've done it again Lenore. It's amazing how your photos express the meaning of the lyrics. This is simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorites. Thanks for posting!
Thanks, Angela, so glad you enjoyed it! it's heaven to listen to .How can one go wrong with a image of Johnny?? :)
thank you very much, Sandy. Upon just learning of Hal David's (lyricist partner- Bacharach and David), passing on Saturday, his words and their combined genius are all the more poignant. Simple but deep lyrics easily touching our hearts- with Johnny's emotive vulnerability- we 'get it' all the more.
Sung so beautifully.
Love this version
beautiful
One word. :Addicting" Everyday I need my fix. Thanks
I Love this song,,, absoluely LOVE it!!! xxx

This is a great song by Johnny Mathis.. You know I love him!! Class act all the way! Jane in ohio
Love the Walker Brothers original, but Johnny has his own presentation that no one can duplicate. There's a time and situation for both.
