I love this interview because it is so different than all Mr. Mathis' other ones. If you are a music lover, you will really appreciate this interview! Thank you!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I'm really happy to hear that! It was a pleasure and honor to speak with Johnny!
It's soooooooooooooooooo nice to hear Johnny speak of how wonderous, lovely and talented Niecy is as she is sadly so overlooked more often than not.
Thanks :D

Que lindo escucharlo!, nosé inglés con fluidez y me acompaña una amiga que me traduce. Sería bueno qué los vídeos tuvieran traducción escrita debajo. La próxima que Johnny aparezca hablando para todos sus admiradores. Gracias !
Niecy has never sounded better than on her album with Johnny. They were both in prime voice at that time. Niecy also sounded utterly sublime on her next album - "When Love Comes Calling" (1979). Niecy's vocal on "Touch Me Again" is for me her crowning glory - (such an overlooked song). I dare anyone to try and match that performance. "Why Can't We Fall In Love" and "God Knows", are two other absolutely fantastic, though sadly overlooked, ballads from that album also. Even the disco tracks "I've Got The Next Dance" and "I Found Love" are brilliant examples of the genre.
