    God bless Johnny Mathis. Amazing he doesn’t rely on teleprompters and remembers all these lyrics. Please Kennedy Center Honors, give this legend a Kennedy Honor. He is beyond deserving and way overdue. Give this man, who has given the world so much joy, his flowers now while he’s living.

    I've nominated Johnny Mathis for The Kennedy Center honor every year for 21 years. He broke barriers, record sales (longest selling LP in Billboard history to this day) and is a national treasure with an astoundingly range who has more raw talent than can be measured He has earned this honor. Streisand is right: "there are good singers and there are great singers-- and then there is Johnny Mathis." It's time.

      @laurencebarton276….👌👍. Well said & I so agree. He has always seemed so laidback & having all his ducks in a row, that I think this “ oversight” might bother all of us more than it does him… however, what’s due is due. What a gift to us all💝

      So he was/is a natural athlete who also took care of his voice.

Most of us will be dead by that age and those of us who are still alive will be in wheelchairs wearing diapers and eating baby food. Johnny is still getting up and going to work entertaining people and the public is still paying to see him perform. What do you think you will be doing at 87?

    Having just watched this Elderly Statesman of Music, I am amazed at his stamina, to sing so many songs …and what’s more… to do all that while walking around the stage, almost non stop.
    As a fellow Octogenarian 86, his stamina puts me to shame.
    His breathing control, to capture each special moment of the melody, was beyond belief.
    The orchestra was Top rate, and I thank you for putting this Video on TH-cam.
    P.s ….and he still has all that hair!

    What a blessing. I’ve been in love with Johnny since I was 10. I’m 73 now. As a little girl when I visited my Aunt and Uncle, they would play his records. That was 1960. I was forever hooked. Over the years I’ve been blessed to go to 4 of his concerts here in Massachusetts. My husband and I loved him. My husband passed away 2021. I feel blessed to catch this Concert tonight August 2, 2023, before going to bed. I’m going to play again in the morning, relive my memories of being with my husband at his very special concerts. My Aunt is still alive same age as Johnny Mathis. Thank you Auntie Gloria for playing his records. Grateful♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
