Yes, he's incredible. A little slower in the walk, but the voice, phrasing, and expression is definitely still there. Lovely to see him still performing, and so dapper as usual.
Unlike the majority of older popular artists who often need to lower the key of their original recordings by a whole step or more, Mr. Mathis is singing in the same key he sang “Misty” when he was 23 yrs. old. Coupled with his awareness and control of his current vocal instrument…well, that’s the sign of authentic artistry.
When I noticed him drop the line at 2:03 in another video of a recent "Misty" performance, I thought he had momentarily blanked. I now realize he's giving himself some time to get his voice properly placed for the falsetto "on" at 2:13. The care he's obviously taken of his instrument, and knowing its limitations at this stage of his career, are doubtless the reasons he's still able to perform at such a high level even as he approaches 90. The term "national treasure" gets tossed around a lot, but Mathis truly deserves the title. (Now where's his Kennedy Center Honor, already... LL Cool J has one, but not Johnny???)
@@borgullet3376 You're right, but I'm also not wrong. In his recorded version of the song, he doesn't sing ANY of the bridge. Since he does sing most of it here, but dropped the line "don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost... that's why I'm following you", it at first sounded to me like it might not have been intentional. Now, however, I'm fairly certain it was, in an effort to ensure he nailed the note at 2:13.
I understand you now. I always remembered the original recording had the string interlude just before he hits that high note Thank goodness we still have him here to discuss these things ! Stay Blessed @ericholck3914 & Happy Holidays to you.
The applause when he hit the high note was so well deserved. He's taken great care of that unique voice. We're all thankful for that. Wishing him many more years of success.
Gorgeous! Simply GORGEOUS! I ADORE Johnny! You can feel the love and the joy in his singing! Every note is pure magic! Keep singing, Johnny! You are the true example of what it means to be young at heart!
Johnny you are The Best. I will always love hearing you sing. You take me to peaceful places. Thank you for giving yourself to the music world. You are so very loved. 🎶😻❤️
Wonderful, not even time has stopped this sweet and melodious voice who, in my opinion, is one of the greatest singers of all time. Thank you Mr. Johnny Mathias for giving us your music ❤
Mr. Mathis, thank you for all the years of your music. I still own many of the original albums from 60's and 70's. You are one amazing man and voice! You still have such control and talent! God bless you for all the joy you have brought millions!
Those saying he looks awful and should quit, if he didn't have singing he'd be gone and we are SO lucky to have him. God gave him a great gift. Thanks for sharing it for 90 years Johnny. We love you. ❤
That man's voice was the loving glue that brought so many couples together, every time we heard his voice. I was born in 1947, and he became the first real, beautiful sound most of us heard as teenagers. Whenever anyone speaks of CLASSIC. Johnny Mathis has always been the standard of love for all to cherish.
Sad to see how these great iconic crooners of the past aging to the point any day they can be gone ! They still sound great ,Just watched Englebert also do a show and sounded great but now these great entertainers are having a hard time walking the stage ! Wishing many more years of health to these Great singers !Once their gone their gone !The next generation of Singers will never compare to the ones we all had the honor of hearing and seeing live ,There will never be another time in the music industry of talent that will ever compare to what we all were blessed with !Music Today is Total SHIT and thats being Nice !
Amazing voice still....hitting that very high note in Misty was incredible!!!!!! I have seen him in concert 3 times and I have many of his records. 🤩🥰💋
Oh my word, it's so wonderful to hear that song and the voice .. I've seen this beautiful man three times, three of the best concert ever.. He has been my favourite singer since I was 14 and now there's a 7 in front of that 4.. Goosebumps and pure joy to hear and see him again.. 💝🐦
I've loved Johnny Mathis since the 60's he has never been changed by the times. His voice and message was always one of sincerity. He sang what everyone who was listening was feeling. He stands alone. He is wonderful! More power to you, Johnny! May God Bless You.
WOW! IS THAT MR. MATHIS??? I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT HIM AND DENIECE WILLIAMS. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! HE STILL SOUNDS GREAT!!! AND HASN'T MISSED A BEAT! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤❤
I’m 51 and Johnny was one of my mom’s favorites. She’s been gone along time now and this is a show I need to see before it’s too late for either one of us. I haven’t seen his set list but I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be at least 1 that’ll have my eyes running during his show.
In my opinion, this man makes every song he sings better . His voice and song selection make him one of he great singers in my long lifetime of listening to music. I wouldn't want to celebrate Christmas season without hearing his Christmas renditons.
Saw Johnny Mathis about a year ago, in Charlottesville, Va. having seen him decades earlier at Radio City Music Hall. He was still great and I love his music!
I am always in love with that man and I'm still My feelings for him will never change and his music I love I'm more than sure he'll never read these, but it's okay because I have it in my heart 💕
Cara. Ele ja esta bem velhinho. Lembro-me de escutar seus discos quando pequeno junto ao meu saudoso pai. Mas a voz aveludada e afinadissima está ainda lá!
The body is aged but that voice he still sounds incredible. God bless him. ❤
Yes,
Yes, he's incredible. A little slower in the walk, but the voice, phrasing, and expression is definitely still there. Lovely to see him still performing, and so dapper as usual.
Hello, we all age
Still sounds so good. Singing in the same key!❤️❤️
Does he have any kids? If he does do they sing too
I am now 77 years old and throughout my life, Johnny Mathis has been one of my very favorite singers. He is a national treasure!
Me too 😊
Most of Johnny's fans, myself included, have been his fans since the very beginning.
Tenho 76 anos e Johnny Mathis é um dos meus cantores favoritos desde o início de sua carreira. Simplesmente maravilhoso! ❤❤
Chances are a helluva lotta people feel the same way as you.
He has always had the most awesome voice. He still has the singing voice
Continua cantando maravilhosamente!👋👋👋👋👋
How cool! 88 years old performing like he is (at least) 20 years younger! How very cool!
He’s 90
September, 1935
He's 88
88 years old holy cow!
❤❤wow
Think he was an athlete at college and he had to choose between that and dining glad for us all he chose singing
He's 88 years old. God Bless him. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
WOW!!! He's still has it!!! That beautiful voice!!!
@@robinlooney5440 Absolutely 💯
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How does he still have that incredible voice ? It’s still BEAUTIFUL! And I’m STILL swept away!
I'll always love Johnny Mathis. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us for so many years!
Absolute legendary singer. Beautiful singer, amazing still for his age. ❤️❤️
Unlike the majority of older popular artists who often need to lower the key of their original recordings by a whole step or more, Mr. Mathis is singing in the same key he sang “Misty” when he was 23 yrs. old. Coupled with his awareness and control of his current vocal instrument…well, that’s the sign of authentic artistry.
The high note he sings in this “live” performance is the same A-natural he sang “live” in 1958.
Amazing!
Actually, the original is in E flat, this one in D. Still amazing.
@@jixmy0204: Thanks for the key correction for the original Columbia disc (indeed, it’s in Eb) and, as you said, it’s still amazing a half-tone down.
I love Johnny Mathis what a voice after all these yrs. Happy. Holiday🌲🌲🌲and a Merry Christmas
I’m so glad I met Johnny Mathis he is the sweetest person ever. Very talented.
His voice has always been a gift from God. No one like him or ever will be. Gorgeous voice. Thank you Johnny Mathis❤
Truly❤❤❤
And he's still able to sing his trademark "on my own" (2:02 - 2:19) like when he sang it in his 20s. Respect for that
" THE BEST SINGER THAT EVER WALKED THIS EARTH" ive seen Johnny and met him to talk too .
Wow. He sounds great - no aging in his voice. Still totally unique . May he continue to entertain for many years to come.
❤AMAZING JOHNNY...CONGRATULACIONS🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
This actually brought tears to my eyes. Life is good when you have a Johnny Mercer song sung by Johnny Mathis.
Mine too 😭🙏❤
Thank you Johnny Mathis for years and years of beautiful music! Love You forever! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am in my 70s I remember as a girl I was so in love with his voice, and he still has that beautiful voice. I still love his voice

Johnny Mathis is for sure a treasure.
It's so ridiculous that Johnny hasn't had this honor bestowed upon him.
thats not a dropped line, that pause before the high note was always how he has sung it.
@@borgullet3376 You're right, but I'm also not wrong. In his recorded version of the song, he doesn't sing ANY of the bridge. Since he does sing most of it here, but dropped the line "don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost... that's why I'm following you", it at first sounded to me like it might not have been intentional.

I understand you now. I always remembered the original recording had the string interlude just before he hits that high note Thank goodness we still have him here

Gorgeous! Simply GORGEOUS! I ADORE Johnny! You can feel the love and the joy in his singing! Every note is pure magic! Keep singing, Johnny! You are the true example of what it means to be young at heart!
This man is amazing! I saw him perform live a year or so before the pandemic and his voice was crystal clear. So inspirational!
