This was recorded for his 1976 album Feelings. This song is so hauntingly beautiful and along with his version of Stardust, I must say nobody can top this. A true master of the romantic ballad.
You're so right! His voice and singing style is angelic & magical. I've adored listening to him since my parents took us kids to see him in concert in the mid-late 70s. I Love Johnny Mathis 🏹❤
This song makes me think of the 60's when I was living in California. It was such an awesome time of life! this song always makes me cry.....Shari from Texas
I was extremely ill once and I played this song, Brazil, and others by Johnny over and over. I made a miraculous recovery. The doctors asked me what I did to recover. I said it was Johnny and my daughter’s oatmeal macadamia nut raisin cookies.
This performance to me is one of the most brilliant pieces of vocal genius and mastery in the world. The phrasing, the sensitivity, the artistry, the attention to each syllable, to each word, to each phrase, to each verse and chorus and then to its entirety - it is just sheer perfection. I am stilled with the pain of pure beauty when I see and hear this. And it was live! and on MERV no less! Johnny Mathis: I love you. And thank you.
Best rendition of this song he's ever done. The guitar music adds so much to it. Very haunting and touching. He's a special person and singer. Watch his interview and listen about his singing history - 80 years and still recording!?! Bless him.
I was so fortunate as a kid to have my parents take my brothers and I to see him in concert back in the mid-late 70s. Ever since then, I've adored his angelic voice and singing style ♡
I ever so so slightly disagree. I actually like the album version better with even more haunting strings. I'm actually traveling with that one. From the album Feelings. Whole album is fantastic!
99 Miles to LA means a lot to me.....I loved everything Johnny Mathias has ever written or sang...he is wonderful.....I have many favorites but this song really hit deep in my heart,
Johnny Mathis is a gift.......to us......his voice carries every emotion and I cannot get enough of his music. Still and I heard him first when a teenager.........sigh. Thank you for the post
I adore this song. My favorite from Johnny. I've never ever heard anyone else sing this song ever. Luv luv luv u Johnny. OMG this is beautiful.❤️❤️❤️❤️💕🎼💋
UMA DAS MAIS BELAS MÚSICAS QUE JOHNNY MATHIS GRAVOU ! LÁ SE VÃO MAIS DE 60 ANOS DE ESTRADA ! TENHO PRATICAMENTE TUDO DELE, MUITA COISA AINDA EM VINIL ! DESDE O FINAL DOS ANOS 50 ATÉ AGORA ! UMA VERDADEIRA LENDA ! AINDA ESTÁ NA ESTRADA ! SUA AGENDA CONTINUA LOTADA ! UMA VIDA MARAVILHOSA ! NOS OFERECE MOMENTOS DE TERNURA DE MUITAS SAUDADES ! SALVE JOHNNY ! QUE DEUS TE ILUMINE SEMPRE ! IVAN BOCALON
Eu adoraria saber mais sobre a vida dele, sua infância, juventude, seus amores, família, sobre o problema com o álcool e drogas. O senhor sabe se tem algum livro biográfico? Obrigada.Um abraço.
What a phenom !!! He's simply a remarkable, emotional person, who brings everything he sings to life. He holds his audiences captive, not many entertainers can do that.
Su voz nos ha acompañado a lo largo de toda nuestra vida. Personalmente me siento muy agradecido y en deuda por tantos y tantos momentos mágicos...Deseo para él grandes bendiciones...porque sigue siendo alguien muy especial para millones de fans en todo el planeta.
He makes me an my Husband love beautiful all his songs 🎵 💕 make it so Romantic listening my husband drive from San diego,Diego, back to Los Angeles wonderful music make it so beautiful and Happy!❤
Une chanson incroyable ! Intemporelle et qui me donnera toujours des frissons... A dégustez seul(e) ou à deux. Avec Wonderful Wonderful sans doute la plus belle. From Biarritz. France.
I agree, I like the studio version better, the background violins are mesmerizing. Everytime I hear this song, I feel like I am in Italy or Europe. And then sometimes I feel like I am in the Sierra Desert driving to LA. Very beauitful song.
As people in USA we are brainwash that we cannot do this or that. Jonny, proves the contrary @ 80 & singing so beautiful one of his lesser known song, love it, thank you, love all your Music. Fr. Ca usa, greetings.
At Segerstrom Center in Costa Mesa last Friday. Sang 99 Miles from L.A. Absolutely fantastic. I agree with Dolores M. live concert setting much more enjoyable.
Unbelievable, singer songwriter, Albert Hammond wrote this song, incredible lyrics.... .counting the telephone polls, i phone you!...5 different superstar singers, sing this song..whatacompliment, to Albert Hammond! Singer of "It never rains California"
This was recorded for his 1976 album Feelings. This song is so hauntingly beautiful and along with his version of Stardust, I must say nobody can top this. A true master of the romantic ballad.
The very first time I heard this song, it brought tears to my eyes.
Dear Lord he was my love when I was a teenager and hearing this song and watching him now at 80yrs is just marvelous!!
80 in two weeks. Johnny has been my favorite singer since "Wonderful Wonderful". And LA is my home!
It sure is!!!!!
just hit 75 and still feel it from head to toe. Oh Johnny!
Kiss kiss kisss
Johnny performed this haunting melody in Newark, NJ last night and rocked the house!
He could sing the phone book and it would be amazing. Love him.
You're so right! His voice and singing style is angelic & magical.
I've adored listening to him since my parents took us kids to see him in concert in the mid-late 70s.
I Love Johnny Mathis 🏹❤
You are so funny but so right!!
Johnny Mathis Christmas Album... All time.

100% agree. He's simply one of the best. Such vocal control and is still doin it
love the words and his voice so beautifully done.
This video gives me chills. Johnny just takes me to another place I've never even been in, and the song is brilliant.
Beautifully stated- I agree wholeheartedly.
I’ve seen him in concert three times, I could listen to him every day.
Beautiful singer and person xo
There is only one Johnny Mathis in this world. His voice is like no other and he sings like no other!
I love Johnny Mathis ! Such a wonderful voice !!!
Best rendition of this song he's ever done. The guitar music adds so much to it. Very haunting and touching. He's a special person and singer. Watch his interview and listen about his singing history - 80 years and still recording!?! Bless him.

I was so fortunate as a kid to have my parents take my brothers and I to see him in concert back in the mid-late 70s.
Ever since then, I've adored his angelic voice and singing style ♡
Diana, You forget his April 1973 rendition at Notre Dame! How could you!? Shame on you!
I ever so so slightly disagree. I actually like the album version better with even more haunting strings. I'm actually traveling with that one. From the album Feelings. Whole album is fantastic!
I see myself driving my TR6 in this beautiful song. 99 miles to SA. Never made it to California.
This is one of my absolute favorite songs.
This song gives me chills. Have always loved it.
Can't stop looking at him😁
Once again the man lets you know, he's the BEST!!!!!!!

I can see him driving along the PCH with the top down anxious to see his lover.🔥🎇 This song was made for his voice! 🌹
