God does send angels for us, sometimes for a short while, sometimes for 75 years - as is the case with this fabulous singer: Johnny Mathis. He certainly has given joy to all his fans worldwide..The greatest singer ever in this lifetime!
I know that Rita Coolidge had a hit with this song and that Boz Scaggs wrote it and sang it first, but Johnny Mathis' rendition *rocks*. I think he does sing those last 2 words in 1 breath. Gives me goosebumps!
@sixfootpianist Yes Johnny One Note sang those two words in one breath. It just makes the song stand out more. I have listened to this about 20 times in a row! That is how much I love it.
Oh wow..just found this...and yes ..have loved Johnny forever..his voice..just melts me..and I so agree with you...on this one...he is heaven..himself..and always will be..to me..every song he sings...is a gift to us...thanks so much...REPLAY!
When I heard Johnny's cover of this song, I was thrilled. In my humble opinion his is even more beautiful than Rita Cooliges or Boz Scaggs. It is exquisite. U are so right: An angel's voice that takes U where no one else can. Thank you for your Channel, ReadMeReadYou!
To paraphrase the Beatles's "Hey Jude", Johnny would "take a love song and make it better". Endlessly better. So much better, is a matter of fact, that sometimes you couldn't remember who else sang it!
Although most of Johnny's top ten recordings are from the late '50s, I prefer his '60s output. With infallible taste he recorded the best of the '60s romantic catalog and he made them all his own. Such as this beautiful song which always brings tears to my eyes.
Thanks for stopping by. It says at the beginning of the video who the composer was. I guess you missed it. Happens. Many people recorded this song besides the lovely Ms. Coolidge. I prefer it by Johnny Mathis myself. : )
WOW- I hear the clearest vocals from Johnny in this song. and the words , WOW again!-close the windows for the night and it will be alright no need to follow now. let it out let all begin, all forgotten now we're all alone all alone, learn how to pretend. once the story's told it cant help but grow old, roses do lovers do so trust your seasons to the wind and hold me hold me dear Millions of fans must love Johnny . I know I do. Thank you for this new posting
Happy you enjoyed it. What his voice does with those lyrics is just miraculous. Can you imagine how many marriages Johnny Mathis is responsible for? : )
Glorious,thank you!
