    Johnny Mathis is a legend! One of the greats! I love him and my mom loved him! He is still handsome at eighty years old! Also what incredible taste in music he has!

    I grew up listening to Johnny's album, "Christmas Eve With Johnny Mathis" (1986) every Christmas on vinyl. His voice....the memories.....

    Johnny Mathis is absolutely the greatest!! I'm interested to hear whatever he has to sing or say!! I admire you so much Mr. Mathis!!! Great interview AMOEBA Music!!

    I'm enjoying these Johnny Mathis interviews I'm just now finding. He's such a sweet man. I loved his music since the 50's but never heard him talk until now. What a charming personality he has.

  • @alexmathewmendoza
    @alexmathewmendoza Před 8 lety +43

    Despite the fact that he's sold dozens of millions of records I feel that his music and voice are very underrated.

    • @Pat4HUMANITY
      @Pat4HUMANITY Před 3 lety +4

      You can certainly say that! In fact the man has NEVER really gotten his due. If you listen to all, most of, his music you can EASILY make a case for Johnny being.....the best singer ever, period! A damn nice man too.

    • @Pat4HUMANITY
      @Pat4HUMANITY Před 3 lety +2

      Do yourself a huge favor and dig up a lot of his music on some place like rhapsody. I don't care what kind music you like--you're in for a treat!

    Mathis attended the same junior high school and high school that I attended. My string orchestra teacher in junior high was a violist in the Circle Star Theater and every spring, she would take the class on a field trip to the Circle Star to watch Johnny Mathis rehearse. After he finished a set, he would come down to the audience area where we sat and greet us.

  • @Piwork69
    @Piwork69 Před 8 lety +5

    What an education to hear his take on music then and now. It really is true that melody seems to missing from today's popular music--probably why I don't listen to much of it.

    Something about his voice reminds me of Robin Williams sometimes when he speaks..

    • @deborahcage8495
      @deborahcage8495 Před 8 lety +2

      +PJ now that you mention it - Mr. Mathis' voice does have inflections of Robin Williams! I love Mr. Mathis' voice.He speaks as melodically as he sings.

  • @edwincancelii2917

    Joāo Gilberto means John Gilbert in Portuguese. And in Spanish is Juan Gilberto, not to be confused with the announcer, Johnny Gilbert.

      @maxinavarro Před 8 lety +1

      +koykah I think you just simply dind't phrase it very good. You say ''Portuguese music'' when you're talking about music from Portugal.
      Not really a problem tho. I think everybody understood your point.

    We should all thank God that Johnny's father got him to a great teacher. He could have ruined that beautiful gift from God with the wrong one. So thank you Mr Mathis for the gift of your son. I have loved Johnny since I was 12 years old that was 65 years ago.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

      +Brendonmakesmesmile No, Brendonmakesmesmile, Wikipedia is telling the truth. He turned 80 last September 30, 2015, and I am six months older, than he is. I have a CZcams Channel with nothing, but Johnny Mathis' videos. The latest one, for Christmas, 2014, is very popular. His Archivist, and others are aware, of my videos. If you would like to check them out, just add the word, "Playlists," to my full name, and it will take you to all, of my Playlists. Just click on, "The Joy Of Christmas," video, which is the most recent. It will be a real treat, at this Christmas Season! Regards, Shirley!

      +louderthangod Johnny Mathis has always had a big fan club, and he has always chosen to wear sweaters his fans send him. They may send caps, too, but I don't know that, for sure. He may have been there replacing cd's lost, when his house recently burned down, or those may be recent cd's, of artists he likes. He has always listened to a lot, of music - not his own!
