I may not be a music critic like the others who offer critiques, comparisons, and analizations of artists. However, I love Johnny Mathis! I grew up listening to his music. It is timeless and classic. I think perhaps he just might be a "gentleman" when doing duets and saves his considerable virtuosity for his solo performances. Roberta sounds great as always and compliments him very well!
This song was first sung by Irene Dunne in the film High wide and Handsome in the thirties.we also have Roberta Flack , Barbara Cook singing Till the clouds roll by and and Melvyn Hamlish plaing Old man river in the piano
Only his most biased fans will consider this "fantastic Johnny Mathis"; it is very ordinary. There are some songs he sings well; this is not one of them. The variations after the song are more interesting. If you want to hear a pop singer sing this song well listen to Michael Holiday.
+ERIC GARBUTT It might help to look up Mr. Mathis' recording of this Kern / Hammerstein II song in the 'Johnny's Mood' LP album. Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé and Jimmy Scott are on his level with Diana Krall bringing up the rear. He always has been the consumate performer for recordings or by himself before audiences; but unless already familiar in the studio, apparently less at ease when performing live alongside other vocalists. It took a while, as this video seems to show.
Thanks, what you say is true - his singing of the same song on the LP 'Johnny's Moods'is far better; he is in much better voice and the interpretation is streets ahead of this. Thanks for the suggestion. May I suggest you take a listen to Michael Holliday's version?
+ERIC GARBUTT Did so right after you suggested our doing so originally a year ago and apologize for not having thanked you. Just revisited the upload and was very pleased to have confirmed Mr. Holiday's very unaffected and engaging musical form, in a vein not much unlike Peggy Lee's. Thank you, again.
