Nowadays "R&B" songs are about rappers (cue B.O.B., Travie McCoy, Iyaz, etc...) trying to boost their popularity collaborating with "real" singers. And using sexually explicit lyrics to get the attention of more "open-minded" audience. Sigh!
I love Johnny Mathis ...since I was 8 years old I had an older brother and 4 olders sister who had his records and now at the age of 61... I still get chills and love his songs
If you ever wondered how absolute crap like hip hop could actually sell records, the 16 idiots who voted "dislike" to this amazing duet are all the explanation you need.
Let me tell you something, Johnny Mathis is one of the smoothest crooners who ever lived and its hard to do a duet with someone that great without getting over-shadowed, but Deniece Williams pulled it off because she was such a powerful singer as well, voice like an angel, to the point where she could actually sit there with Johnny Mathis and sound equally as incredible, and as an added plus the girl just oozed class from every fiber of her being ... just like Johnny Mathis.
Man i just love these two, where has all the talent gone. I am so thankful i grew up in the era of real talent and voice , just amazing sound by both of these artist
does he have on jeans ? Deniece looks cute, I generally like Johnny singing alone ,but they are good together ,two talents just singing and not grabbing each other's body parts ,fully clothed ,entertaining ,and they are still rich and famous ,what a class act, ADORABLE!!!
Someone did this song on Red Faces. The left side of him was a black bloke and the right side was a white woman. He sung the whole duet as one person, changing direction 180 degrees very quickly between "too much", "too little" and "too late" as if it was a duet and they were singing to each other. It was truly brilliant. Of course, he won the night.
her voice does bring chills, it touches my heart, and it over!!!! this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded, i think anyone who has been in love true love, with someone, and it didnt work but u truly loved them this song is for u.
this is a very beautiful song. who ever thought that two beautiful voices would come together and create histroy? besides michael jackson, she could have been one of the greatest of them all. i personally think she shouldve been put up on the list with the greats of the female singers. such legends. ( : ♥
The stars were aligned just right when Johnny and Denise sang this song. It is simply beautiful! Not only were Johnny and Denise duet partners, but they fell in love with each other, and Denise says she still loves him to this day, and she knows that he still loves her. I don't know what went wrong with these artists today, but they just don't have half the talent and magic that artists had in those days.
It's hard to believe that someone could dislike this song...one of the greatest duets of all times. What part did they dislike? Which singer did they dislike...Johnny or Denise? Which part or the lyrics did they dislike? There is no logical answer!
@gemeyes2 Well, ONE of the greatest, anyway. If you took a poll, there'd be some votes scattered around for the likes of Al Green, Brook Benton, Nat Cole, George Benson, Tony Bennett, etc.
This is a great video of my idol, Johnny Mathis singing with Deniece Williams..Thanks for posting. Johnny Mathis is the greatest singer in this lifetime.. Upon my deathbed, I would still want to hear Johnny Mathis sing to me, for he has the most soothing voice. God bless singer Johnny Mathis.. What a wonderful man.
johnny came home to his people and grabbed his first #1 hit, after that he started singing with Black women. and gained wider acceptance of Blacks, who the Cosmic is close to.
he was born to two Black Parents, with imposed poverty like all Blacks. His wavy hair allowed him to transcend and work, however his #1 only came when he sang with Denice Williams. and Then Gladys Knight, and Dionne Warwick. This was his height of hits.
l Black males singing was the best when they were with their women
@sharonanony You DO realise that by making statements like that you are only enforcing the already too deep social injustices that are prevalent due solely to the difference in skin color,don't you??If you have an incredible voice you have an incredible voice...end of!!
Anybody remember the version that was released with Mathis and Williams talking back and forth and having an argument that leads into the song??? Would love to find that.
WOW;this is an incredible song by two amazing voices.what a blessing to have had them team up together. boy do i remember dancing to this song at the school dance.brought back some good memories.
Is this live? I assumed it was lip-synced, but it is different from the radio recording...and I like it even better! Anyone know where I can find this version?
did they rip that up or wat... none of these hot mess uv so called singers can do this live with such effortlessness...none...did u catch niecy at 2:27-29...
Thank you Chinazo2007 for posting this eternally great song! It's brings back alot of memories. Same yr this song came out (1978) i was a teenager dating my first ever girlfriend! She too loved this song!
A forty something Johnny invited a twenty two year old Deniece to do this duet with him. It made history when the original recording came out. This reunion is amazing as well!
Deniece was in her early twenties when a forty something Johnny invited her to do this duet with him. The rest is history. What an incredible duet then and when this was recorded.
They don't sing such great songs like this anymore. Two great voices blending together so well. Yes the couple is breaking up but the the words are so pure and without the anger or bitterness. Always loved this song.
