    Irving Berlin was a Russian Jewish immigrant, who became one of the most successful songwriters of his era, yet couldn't read music, or play any instrument, other than 1 fingered piano. Never give up!

    He never forgot the Masters that came before him. this is a Nat King Cole classic, that Johnny sings indeed from his heart.

    My friends and I at 16 years old, would sit and listen and cry to the unbearably beautiful sounds of Johnny Mathis. I first saw him in person when he appeared with Henry Mancini and it was one magical evening. Saw him for the fifth time last year and was still mesmerized by the God given talent of this incredible man.

    I asked my 2 daughters what they knew about Johnny Mathis and they said :isn't he the one that sings that song from that movie "Play Misty for Me",so I told them to go to youtube and listen to some of his older recordings, they were shocked to hear that he had that kind of range and song interpretation, and my youngest said she felt like he had neglected her love life by not acknowledging him sooner, now she's hooked

    I remember when I was about 14 I was helping my mom go through a bunch of her albums and she was telling me which ones meant a lot to her, she handed me this one and had me put it on the turntable on our huge wooden stereo. As this song played, tears began streaming down my face and I couldn't speak for a few minutes..I'd never heard it before and Johnny's voice literally broke my impressionable heart... she looked at me and said, "see? now you know why I'll never get rid of this one..."

      I have always loved Johnny Mathis songs and his excellent voice. Every song Johnny Mathis sings becomes his own. His orchestra is the absolute best. My daughter bought me this pad and I’m able to listen to Johnnys songs as much as I want. Technology is a blessing. I’m thankful for so much good in my life. I’ll never stop listening to Johnny Mathis the rest of my life. Thank you Johnny for all your wonderful music. 💕🙏🏽

    I love this performance, for the simple fact that it shows that nothing phases a legendary singer like Johnny Mathis. Im not sure it can be noticed in this clip, but when Johnny is looking at the pianist at the start of the song, he is actually asking him for the first line of the lyric. He forgot the lyrics, lol. But as the consumate professional, he gets the line and continues as if nothing happened. The end result a beautifully delivered song.

      What can anyone say that hasn't already been said or thought by anyone who has been touched by Johnny Mathis? He is the VERY BEST and because he is SO Special, cannot be compared with anyone else...that would be unfair to them.
      I've and my wife have been lifelong followers of him and been blessed to meet him several times...ALWAYS he has been the perfect gentlemanly and I once told him, in London, 'The World is a much better place, because He was in it!'...he shook my hand and said 'Bless your heart!'
      He has personified himself as one of the finest example this world has ever been blessed to encounter...we've been fans since 1958 and never wavered.
      May God bless him as He has blessed us by placing Johnny in our lives.
