      I agree. Although there have been some truly great American singers, who truly comes that close? At his peak he was....otherworldly and superior.

  • @linda2cats1
    @linda2cats1 Před 4 lety +3

    I remember listening to Johnny when I was very young. My mother always played his music on her record player. His voice flowed threw the house. Being a child of 5 years old I knew nothing about music but I was captivated by his voice. When my mother would put me down for a nap I would lay there and listen to his wonderful voice and his songs and I would drift away to sleep. My mother said she never had trouble putting me to sleep for my naps because I would tell her "put the pretty music on". When it was summer time the window in my room would be open just enough and the warm breeze would come in and I would picture Johnny in my room. My husband to be had not heard of him until my father called me one day and said he had 2 tickets and wanted to know if I would be interested in seeing him in concert. This was back in the middle 70's. I told my husband he would fall in love with this man and his voice. I was that confident and I was that certain he would. We got the tickets and my seat was at the end of the row. When Johnny came on he came running down the hall right beside me. I almost fainted. When he started to sing you could hear a pin drop. I started crying his voice was so beautiful and he was right there in front of me. And after, we were in our car I turned to my soon to be husband and said "well, what do you think of Johnny Mathis"? He had tears in his eyes. He said he thought he was the most wonderful singer. He felt what I felt. Two years later we were married. I thought "he is a keeper. We have gone to Johnny 's concerts many times. I love the song Memories so much I actually cry threw that whole song. Love you Johnny.

    Johnny Mathis is one classy guy, and definitely a much more modest and even humble human being. He very recently lost his house of 56 years in a raging fire while he was performing in Los Angeles.Mathis told reporters at the scene that the blaze had caused extensive damage, and that only a few things had been saved. But even in his time of grief and sadness he went on and said "'I'm OK, nobody got hurt -- that's always important and that things can always replaced.Well said Mr Mathis, I'm sorry for the things you lost, but the important things are still with you - your life and your family and friends. God Bless you .

    I love it when he talks so lovingly about his parents. Through this interview, I finally got an answer that has been bugging me for a while. Knowing that his father was a singer, I've always wondered if he sounded like his son, John. HE DID!
