Johnny Mathis and that once in a lifetime voice did great with this rendition of the song!! I'd still rate it a very close second to Andy Williams'. I'm sort of traditional. The song reminds me of my Grandmothers. They both passed in '72. They both had his X-mas albums.
Thank you for posting a better, clearer video. This looks and sound so great I downloaded it to my realplayer. Johnny Mathis is the king of Christmas songs.
when the house is asleep go down stairs next to tree,turn the tree lights on(nothing more...turn on johnny mathis christmas music and enjoy your favorite drink and just listen....merry christmas everybody
Thanks posting this wonderful and immortal song. I often listen to this song when Christmas is near - the song kinda warms the heart and gives hope that next year will be better and better. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all : )!
Johnny is a truly nice guy. I gave him my toy Jaguar, with no tires, when I was about 6 or 7 instead of asking for an autograph. He switched on his microphone to tell the audience and said that I couldn't afford the tires. Made my day!
@dante8781 It was probably part of the show. The director must have had Johnny and all of the extras rehearse their movements and facial expressions many times before shooting started.
Wait a minute. Something's not right here. I thought this song was made in 1958 by him and I thought he died a long long time ago! I listen to this guy christmas song everyday of the year! Happy New Year/happy Holidays/ and Merry Christmas to everybody from Atlantic Highlands!
Oh no, Johnny is alive and well, and he recorded this in 1993. He recorded his first Christmas album in 1958, but this wasn't on it. Since then, he's done another 7 or 8 Christmas albums. This song was from the David Foster Christmas Album.
Johnny Mathis & Obama look NOTHING alike, B 4 real. Ridiculous comments like that R holdovers from America's racist past, when we wre taught that all Black people look alike, all Italians look alike, all Asians look alike, etc. Y is it that on EVERY YouTube video that features an African-American, some1 always always always will post a comment that this person looks like some other person that they look absolutely NOTHING like? All AfricanAmericans DO NOT look alike OK? Let it go.
Nobody is saying that Johnny Mathis and Obama look alike. Check out the extra who passes Johnny at the :55 mark. He's the one with the resemblance to Obama that has everyone amused.
My bad guys...Now that I C it, I gotta agree he is a dead ringer 4 Obama HaHa!!! But that does happen a lot on YouTube. And I admit, I sometimes C some1 in a video who looks like some1 else & it is funny. It just annoys me when some1 actually believes it 2 B that person, even if the video is from 1973 & the person is from 2003....Rant completed LoL
The chip on your shoulder is bigger than ever. It isn't a comparison between Johnny and Obama. It's a comparison between Obama and the guy in the black and white sweater at 0.55.
I retract that part of my statement LoL...The extra DOES look like Obama, but obviously not since this is 1993. But I am holding 2 the 2nd part of my comments. And it's not a chip, just get tired of tuning in2 videos & Cing the same type of "Hey that person looks like this person" comments by people who actually think it is the person, even if the timeframes/eras make it totally impossible 4 it 2 actually B that person. Apologies 4 my YouTube rant--Everybody gets at least 1 rant per year.
It is not the most wonderful time of the year for many people. I know that Christmas specials on tv try to get people in the Christmas spirit, but for some it is a really sad time of year. And by the way that doesn't even look like Barack!
this is such a good song!! its the most wonderful time!! its the happiest season of all!!! its so true theres sooooo much love at christmas!! i love it!! its always SO beautiful!!!! God Bless<3
