- "Misty" is arguably one of Johnny Mathis' signature tune, so the song needs no introduction. But I wasn't fully versed of the historical aspect of this song that I always attributed to Mr Mathis. First I was surprised that it wasn't Mr. Mathis version that garnered the song a Grammy award; amazingly, it was Ray Steven. His 1975 interpretation of the classic took home the award for Music Arrangement of the Year. Another surprise for me was that it wasn't Johnny Mathis version of "Misty" that was played by Clint Eastwood's DJ character in the movie, "Play Misty For Me." It was the original Instrumental version of Misty by the Erroll Garner Trio. I need to really watch the movie. LOL. But one thing I do know Johnny's version is a classic and my favorite.
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
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
Think he was an athlete at college and he had to choose between that and dining glad for us all he chose singing
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
Classy man. Beautiful voice. Thank you Johnny ❤. You’re a national treasure!
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???)
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. 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.
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 .
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. ❤️❤️
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
How does he still have that incredible voice ? It’s still BEAUTIFUL! And I’m STILL swept away!
He's 88 years old. God Bless him. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
WOW!!! He's still has it!!! That beautiful voice!!!

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
Good Lord, that was just amazing. Thank you so much for uploading this gem.
Wow! So impressive! He and Tony Bennett never lost the magic of their voices!💖
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!
This man is amazing! I saw him perform live a year or so before the pandemic and his voice was crystal clear. So inspirational!
I’m so glad I met Johnny Mathis he is the sweetest person ever. Very talented.
Love it!! Misty was one of my favorites. It brought back memories. Johnny Mathis, keep on singing. You look and sound great for 88. God Bless You!!! 🙏
You still have the "Magic" Thank You
Incredible to be able to sing this well at his age. Truly impressive!!!!
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 ❤
Big John so great again
Well,coming from a 64 year old musician,who is sad,lonely,& depressed,thank you sir,for at least a glimmer of a smile.
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. 🤩🥰💋
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.
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!
He doesn't SOUND 88... that's for sure!!
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! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤❤
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
We were there ....He was absolutely wonderful!❤🎄 ♥
❤❤❤
Lucky you....What a great naturally gifted talent, Mr Johnny Mathis.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Meu sonho seria dar um abraço neste maravilhoso ser humano.DEUS deu a ele o dom de nos entreter com sua voz única e maravilhosa! Abraço do Brasil
Oh my word, it's so wonderful to hear that song and the voice .. I've seen this beautiful man three times, three of the best concert ever.. He has been my favourite singer since I was 14 and now there's a 7 in front of that 4.. Goosebumps and pure joy to hear and see him again.. 💝🐦
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 🙏
Awww! I always loved him growing up. My mom would put his Christmas album on and decorate the house and I would get so excited!! Then when I got older I explored all his other music and fell in love with it all. Thanks for posting this. I’m in tears and happy he is still performing! Love you Johnny😊
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.
The always spectacular Mr. Mathis. He never disappoints. ❤
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.
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 ❤️❤️❤️✨🌟✨❤️❤️❤️
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.
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. 🎶😻❤️
❤️🌍🎼🎤🎹An international treasure, thank you Mr. Johnny Mathis for all the wonderful music🥰

Still the great golden voice...unreal. so fantastic. Love Johnny.he has the best Christmas albums

Wow!! At his age and sounding THAT good!! Outstanding!! ❤
He looks so different, but his voice is still great. I've listened to him since I was a kid and just loved all his songs. ❤
Still a beautiful voice. Love you sir..
88 and still sounds smooth as silk. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤️
You're an inspiration, Johnny Mathis. Beautiful voice, beautiful man, beautiful heart.
WOW, that was great, he still has the vocals, what a GOD send he is.
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....
That high note at 2:20❤. Thanks so much for posting this.
One of those voices ...when you hear it you know who it is.
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 ;-)
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.
What a treat! It's just great to see and hear him. His voice is still beautiful. 😍
“The Twelfth Of Never” is my favorite J. Mathis song! 💖
If Johnny and Barbra put out an album together, it could totally break all records. They both sound superb today
I bought and listened to Johnny Mathis 'records' in the 60's and all my lifetime (I'm 78), and loved loved his beautiful very distinctive voice . Thank you Johnny Mathis for a lifetime of beautiful music that would 'take me to another place' . Love and God Bless You. A avid fan. ❤🙏🌹🥇
Johnny is Awesome What A Voice. In My Eyes 👀 The Best. 😊. Pete sr Siny
Very moving. Great. He was a favourite of my late mother. JM has many fans here in the UK. They are exactly the same age though sadly she left us over a decade ago now. Stirs up so many memories.

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!
