    Does Johnny have any idea of how much we love him? How much he makes us love him? He has been an enrichment in my life for fifty years. Thank you Johnny, and thank you Maria for this fantastic video. This song is one of the most beautiful songs I know, and any better that this is not possibel. I adore this man. Berit.

    There goes Johnny Mathis singing about the mystery of LOVE❤️❤️ I have learn so much while I have been living my life 🎶🌹🎶 the only question is how does love really work? Is it luck is it fate, that's why I love this song for as Johnny Mathis puts it 🎶 how do you keep the music playing. I know I don't know 🌹🎶🌹 therefore I'm assuming LOVE is the greatest mystery in ones life🎶🌹🎶

    Another one of Johnny's songs that is from our life. We have been fans since we were in our teens and as we walked through our life together he was always there with us saying the things we wanted to say to each other! Married for 57 years and there he is. He will be 84 on Sept 30, 2019. We have seen him perform live more than 19 times.

    I hear Johnny sing and I think of the love my husband of 53 yrs and I enjoyed his music. It was a magical time in finding our love together and Johnny and his music were such a huge part of it. He truly is very special as is our love for him and each other.

  • @catinhotlanta
    @catinhotlanta Před 13 lety +39

    Alll you can do is just say, "wow." I've been a fan for 53 years now, have seen him in concert 8 times, yet his voice never ceases to amaze me, especially when you hear s song that seems to have been written just for him. Of course, everything he sings seems to belong to him, regardless of other recordings.
    Dowload all the videos of him you can find and treasure them always.
