Johnny Mathis - It's Not For Me To Say (Original Stereo)

[thebearclawjones]

"Have some coffee, it'll wake you up..."

[st9riker]

i was sixteen when this great record was released, so in love........... brings tears to my eyes each time i hear it. i wonder where she is now........... nearly fifty years on.

[johnnydesk44]

Yeah, it's really important to know about his sex life when discussing his music.

[PaulDePace]

I saw Johnny Mathis at the Carousel theatre in West Covina, CA on, I am going to say, Christmas Eve 1967... I probably paid $7.50 for those tickets... He was unreal. His voice is like an instrument. I remember sitting there with my girlfriend. We we so in love, it was a perfect date. I am thinking, "Can I even hear a flaw in his voice?" No. Just like these recordings...perfection. My only issue with Johnny Mathis? Gay. Too bad. (Yeah I know, guilty as charged...homophobic.)

[bigpad69]

@PaulDePace How to spoil a terrific tribute!

[smush48]

i find this incredible to believe, but, someone told me that the ONLY number one hit that johnny ever had, was his duet with deneice williams...too much, too little, too late....this can't be true....or is it??????anyone know....thx in advance....

[Nocaro]

@smush48 That very well may be without looking it up to verify it. Johnny's career started while Elvis was topping the charts, and most of the hits he is best remembered for like "Chances Are", "Misty", etc. came during a time when rock and roll rather than beautiful ballads ruled the day.

[bigpad69]

@smush48 No, "Chances Are" was a no. 1 for him in 1957 (I think). CA is on here, too, and as incredible as this wonderful song.

[theonlymoo5e]

This one peaked at #2 on the CHUM chart in Canada, but it was his 2nd Top 5 on that chart. Wonderful, Wonderful peaked at #5.

[Lindy81349]

Saw Johnny Mathis in Louisville ,KY at the Performing Arts Center 1989, his music is Timeless, Classic, Beautiful.

[TBone030307]

I'm twenty five years old and I gotta say every time I hear a classic song like this, I feel like I wanna  do a slow dance with someone ;). It's so romantic.

[smagisa]

Wow I love his voice so cool.............

[mattyblues101]

how do people sing so good?..when i sing in the shower the soap always falls in the drain trying to escape

[maikii]

@mattyblues101 This is the only comment I've ever read on Youtube that's made me laugh.

[goodluck488]

Excellent I had enjoyed this very much all star********s Vince

[topcatroar61oliosc]

OH MY MY johnny mathis is beyond any shadow of doubt 1 of the very very best vocalist's that ever crooned a song for us to enjoy!!! but i must say this anyone that wants to talk squat cause johnny is a self confessed gay?? dammit people it's a persons choice to be gay or not!! do you idiots judge his ability to sing not as good or say he stunk? no nobody can make his angelic voice go away, so lets leave johnyy's being gay if he is and enjoy what we really are here for ok?? PEACE

[tawheedization]

[skipper8257]

And he still sounds the same today. Amazing talent. One in a lifetime crooner.

One of our best artist of the 20 century.

[blessOTMA]

Mathis stands alone. His voice is sweet, high and yet so very warm...how did he do that??? 

[MastrsLnB]

Before my father passed I told him he would find a way to reach me. 15 days after he left he came to me through Wonderful, Wonderful. I grew up listening to Johnny Mathis. I LOVE YOU DAD! THANKS FOR FINDING ME, LOVE NOELLE

[waggietoo]

[recordman4862]

Johnney mathis my favorite beautiful love songs bring me back how songs of love were back then (Do I miss those times)

[kcdshg]

I was a young teen when JM was at his peak. What a wonderful thing to have this beautiful romantic music at that time of my life. And I still love it.

[LizRichieBand]

all of his music reminds me of my mom who is no longer here...its fucking amazing what music brings to our lives.....without it...we'd fall apart all together.Tx for this.

[pyro8818ak47]

Goodfellas

[bjclark1017]

Thanks for posting this incredible song. Johnny Mathis is one of a kind. The hits were awesome, but if in many cases the 'lesser lights' were even better. I'm a big fan of 'Heavenly' and 'MoreThan You Know'. Do yourself a favor and listen to those two, and enjoy them, as I know that you will.

[chichilena]

Hi from Chile, this is my parents song!!! Thank´s for upload rhis song you make one person day happier.

[cyncityful]

When I hear Johnny Mathis's voice, I know there is a little bit of Heaven on Earth.

In a word WOW!!!!!

[abovethecloudstravel]

@cyncityful That is such a nice thing to say. :)

[NickHostuart80]

DL the audio from this tune at tubepull doht cohm.

[elbinhaable]

Só aqui, no You Tube, pude ver concretizado o meu desejo de muitos anos: ouvir novamente o Johny Mathis interpretando "It's not for me to say"! Eu tinha, então, meus 12 ou 13 anos...Uma adolescente que gostava de músicas românticas e que sonhava, um dia, encontrar seu príncipe encantado...É bom recordar, muito bom mesmo! A gente volta no tempo...Obrigada, pessoal do You Tube!!!

[lucychinn149]

Johnny Mathis is just quite wonderful.

[TheYanula]

Wow!

[pajiiiiiii]

Woa.

[CharleyK4]

Absolutely Classic.... The sensitivity in his vocal is a slam dunk.. A truly talented vocalist & A living legend.

[conyelp]

Wonderful old song romantic song and it brings back so many memories. Thanks for this upload.

[dovermoreno]

Johnny Mathis could sing the Oscar Meyer Weiner song and it'd sound romantic !

[cyncityful]

@dovermoreno

I totally agree with you. I would even add that he could sing the telephone book and I would swoon!!! :).

[KissMeQuk]

Nice song and liked the pictures..... Enjoyed it!!
