    The world will never ever see or hear the likes of Johnny Mathis ever again, his voice is one of a kind and contains all of the emotions, emotions that not only lift the soul, but emotions that control the phrasing of every song he sings. In my lifetime, I have been blessed to be around with some of the best, Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby,, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Al Martino, Mario Lanza, to name but a few.
    From the thirties to the 21st Century (my lifetime,), music from these guys kept the world alive, long may their memories be with us.

    Such beautiful,beautiful songs. Johnny Mathis has never sung anything that cannot melt anyone's heart or unable to reach the soul.
    His voice is absolutely wonderful and so special....every song can mean something for us all at any time,whatever life is giving us at that moment as they are all so full of emotion.
    At the height of happiness,the depth of despair and everything else in between he has sung something that is appropriate to suit the mood.
    Simply wonderful.

At 80 years old and the number of songs he sings, he never fumbles, how could he remember all of these? he is incredible, he is still so humble and very good person. Love you lots Johnny Mathis. I missed your concert at Tacoma, Washington last October, we already bought the tickets, one regret of my life. I hope you come back to Seattle, Washington again.

I run the UK Johnny Mathis Fan Club, the Johnny Mathis Social Club (also an online Group called The Johnny Mathis Social club Group) and have appealed to all the members to vote. Also, I don't know if you're aware of this but one of the radio presenters, on an internet radio station called MontcoRadio.net does three weekly shows dedicated to John,,,it's called Just Johnny Mathis. His name is Scott Krieger and Scott is campaigning to get John this honour. He is also asking for fans to send an email to him, as well as to the Kennedy Center, explaining why you think John should receive this accolade. He's aiming for at least a thousand emails to forward on behalf of all his listeners.
      www.montcoradio.net/

    The inimitable Johnny Mathis sings this beautiful song from "A Chorus Line" with the passion of someone who truly knows what love is. Mr. Mathis's voice is just remarkable, and I think incomparable. No one comes close, no one ever will.
