    What people have to remember is that Johnny Mathis is the quintessential recording artist with more albums recorded than any other artist of his time.. The man is truly amazing and this particular song gets me every single time :) x

    The world will never ever see or hear the likes of Johnny Mathis ever again, his voice is one of a kind and contains all of the emotions, emotions that not only lift the soul, but emotions that control the phrasing of every song he sings. In my lifetime, I have been blessed to be around with some of the best, Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby,, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Al Martino, Mario Lanza, to name but a few.
    From the thirties to the 21st Century (my lifetime,), music from these guys kept the world alive, long may their memories be with us.

    Such beautiful,beautiful songs. Johnny Mathis has never sung anything that cannot melt anyone's heart or unable to reach the soul.
    His voice is absolutely wonderful and so special....every song can mean something for us all at any time,whatever life is giving us at that moment as they are all so full of emotion.
    At the height of happiness,the depth of despair and everything else in between he has sung something that is appropriate to suit the mood.
    Simply wonderful.

At 80 years old and the number of songs he sings, he never fumbles, how could he remember all of these? he is incredible, he is still so humble and very good person. Love you lots Johnny Mathis. I missed your concert at Tacoma, Washington last October, we already bought the tickets, one regret of my life. I hope you come back to Seattle, Washington again.

    Having already made several comments on johnny spectacular voice and the emotional power he puts into each word that he sings makes him a very unique artist. May I also add that I've listened to every single one of his love songs and I never felt they ever applied to me 💔for I never had an equal partner to love me as much as I loved him. Yet in this particular case when he sings this song What I did for Love ❤️❤️ I gave it my all!! I know now looking back I did give too much than I received in return but at least I can give myself credit for doing that giving it my all💯🌹💯 beautifully sung Johnny 🎶🎶🎶🎶
