    Folks,anyone who reads this,Johnny reaches into the very soul of me! I hope I am not losing myself here,explaining this.Its too much for me to really explain,but NO ONE else but Johnny Mathis can do this for me.He even makes me "see" the face of one wonderful man(now deceased) with whom I fell deeply in love with.One day maybe in the other dimension I may see him again.Forgive me if I said too much.Thank you and bless you for sharing this.

      It’s so strange that you should post this.. I feel like it was me that did.. I love Johnny with every fiber of my being.. I too also lost the love of my life. I woke up n found him in bed next to me from an overdose.. I’m so sorry for your loss.. you never get over it…. Take care of yourself.. sending love n prayers your way.. at least we still have this magnificent man.. there’s no one like him.. he’s as beautiful as his beautiful voice.. gong to see him for the second time since January.. can’t wait.. stay safe❤🌹🙏

    Although this wasn’t our wedding song, at our 50th anniversary party, I asked my singer bother to sing this to my wife. Very special moment.

    This track is off of his A&E LIVE BY REQUEST Performance. It completely blew me away. Johnny Mathis is second to none- not Sinatra, Cole, Williams, Como, or Michael Jackson- he stands alone as---- the Best.---- Period.

    I heard the composers, Herb Martin & Michael Leonard, sing this at a "backers' audition" in the '60's for their show "The Yearling." It was pure magic. JM's singing certainly does the song justice (though he could have done fine with a simpler backing). The Yearling, alas, failed, but some of the fine songs - this one among them - survived...thanks to recordings like this one.

    As I lie awake at 3 AM and listen to John sing this I know I’m listening to a miracle. There is nothing like this, no other sound like this, No other song like this in existence. I love you John for everything you’ve given us and everything you’ve given to me over the years… Many many years.❤❤❤

  • @beweau
    @beweau 13 років тому +1

    @lincolnadmirer I so agree with you. His voice is THE VOICE of our time. He is 63 yrs as he sings this, and he hits every note just as soft and perfect as he ever did. Nobody compares. Berit.

    This is another of my favorite John Royce- song. His voice with this lyrics makes me fly 5cm over the floor when I walk over it. There neves has been, and never will be anyone with such a voice, and with such a personality with it. I have adored this person in nearly 50 years. It began in my very early teens. From Norway: Berit.

    Wow -- the sun streaming through the clouds, that rainbow, the low sun shining red over the water, the vertical rainbow going into the mountains, the prow of the boat sailing into the sunset, (I'm from the west coast so must believe that's a sunset) just beautiful with Johnny's voice and the words to the song, what a feast for the soul!

    Johnny Mathis has never performed badly. He presents with class and his sound is original to him. May I suggest Barbra Streisands version and also Bill Evans performance done instrumentally on piano. This is a lovely song with lovely lyrics. Thank you for sharing Mathis. Haven’t heard him a long time. Shame on me!

    Johnny's rendition of this is beautiful, Freddy Cole and Streisand also do nice versions of this, -- it's a very lovely, meaningful song! It sounds like something Nancy Reagan would request, she and Ronnie were so in love, from start to his end, she never loved anyone again after he died.

There's no quitting when you have a talent.............That's what makes Mr.mathis the best ever...........he still performs in concert at his age............And it must be harder for him than Streisand since she is about ten years younger than him....

    I've always liked Mathis. My wife and I caught him onstage with Mancini in the Midwest. That said, as a retired DJ, this recording is overprocessed with way too much reverb....he didn't need it!
