@serpentinecreature - Truly- he uses his voice- as has been said by many - as an 'instrument'- treating it with the care of a Stradivarius violin- and 'playing' with every note to it's fullest. Enjoy.
Never understood the words to this song when I was young.. Now, when I see a full moon and a river of clouds go by it...I pop in this Johnny Mathis song...it brings the view to life in my mind. Try it sometime, it will take you away.
@777Moonbeam - could not have said it better- it was one of the very first songs I heard him sing when I saw him in concert for the first time- a Mancini Medley- I loved it- this is a wonderful piece . Glad you're enjoying it:)
@janieusa Thank you Janie- he is as the saying goes and he fits it so well- "In a class by himself"- no question. A gift we are all so fortunate to be able to enjoy and appreciate. Enjoy.
Thank you so much for posting this video. Mr. Mathis has brought joy to my life since I was a teenager. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I could one day watch him whenever I wished. Lucky me.
@777Moonbeam - You're so welcome- it is amazing isn't it- technology- I missed many of the earlier years- were it not for these videos I would have no 'history' of him over time. So glad you like this- it's a wonderful performance - all of them from this event were special. Thank you for your comments. Enjoy!
@iwishyourlove46 - Thanks very much- while I can not translate completely- I understand your 'feeling'! So glad you like it- these are such special songs -from this show- Johnny does beautiful things to Mancini music:) Enjoy.
Absolutely beautiful! Without a doubt one of the finest singers of all time. The true test of a great singer-sounding as good "live" as in a studio with enhancements!
@angelblue1054 - so true- he is without parallel - and he brings such a different - equally rich- quality to an in person performance. Lucky us- enjoy.
Years ago I planted Huckleberry bushes in my lawn in honor of "My Huckleberry Friend," sung by Johnny in "Moon River." The bushes have grown huge and beautiful and every time I look at them, I am reminded of something so beautiful in music!
So glad you are enjoying this., Luis! Johnny is at his best here- although that's a tough one-he always sings at such a high quality. It's a wonderful pairing of "M"s- Mathis- Mancini- Mercer (and "Moon")~! Happy Holidays.
They are both tremendous performers- - most people associate this song with Andy Williams- I do love Johnny's interpretation of it though- so very lovely. Glad you found it - enjoy!
GORGEOUS.... I was lucky enough to have seen him live many many years ago in Paris at the "Olympia" he was then and is still fabulous...THANK you for posting.
This video shows why one man said, "I take my son to his concerts, so he can learn how to use a microphone correctly!" We go, because he is simply the best!
Thank you for coming by-- it's wonderful that an appreciation and following of Johnny's work is getting passed from generation to generation. So many 'young' people watch his videos- nice to know that there is depth as well as breadth of musical tastes. Agree with you- ! Enjoy.
So glad you like it- it is a great setting . Anyone who has not heard him sing this in concert can have that experience for the moment here. Thanks for stopping by.
One of my favorites !! Love Johnny singing Moon River...thanks Jane in Ohio

What a man, what a voice, a living legend!
He wasn't going to be shown up by Andy Williams. There is a video up here of Andy singing those same high notes at 80 years old!
