I love it ,as usual with Johnny Mathis.He does it effortlessly and with majesty! (I tried to hit that high note,I thought I was gonna have to call somebody to bring me "back") Hah! Thank you for sharing this treasure!
Merveilleuse version en latin du bel AVE MARIA DE SCHUBERT !!
Sa voix est très douce, le rythme lent : le chant classique et peu de vibrato de la voix ! excellent ...et émouvant ce chant avec Johnny Mathis !!! remerciements
el gran johnny matis ,logra con su vos que yo me sienta una buena persona y deseosa de hacer el bien calma mi fiera interior ,desde vllla gesel mi agradeciminto
I love this soooo very much, I have the Good NIght Dear Lord cd and have nearly worn it out. I come from a "spiritual" background for lack of a better way to put it. No matter what age and what song, when Johnny sings inspirational and/or holiday pieces, "I" can detect such emotion in his voice. In interviews he says that he loves these selections dearly and it is a "side" of him people rarely see. (his words). His original Our Father solo with chimes is breathtaking. Be blessed.
An interesting true story is that Johnny Mathis had an opportunity to qualify for the 1956 Olympics (track, i believe) or sign a record contract with Columbia. Luckily, his father persuaded him to sign the contract. Wow. How many singular decisions made by one person can you think of that have brought so much joy to the entire world. Thanks Johnny!
When my wife and i were first married in 1958, we bought our first Stereo and with it our first 331/3 record. Johnny Mathis. My wife passed away 4 years, listening to his music she is with me again, what a beautiful feeling. We both loved that beautiful voice then and now, thank you MR. Mathis
I nevertire of hearing johnny sing this. I have the" Good Night Dear Lord"cd and play it often. I would have loved to see him perfoming this live. Imagine the depth of the emotion in that setting. For those who haven't purchased this album please try to locate one. All of the pieces are beautiful. Johnny said recently in an interview that he loves sacred music and "most people have not seen that side of him". I believe it was in his commentary on Kol Nidre. From his heart to ours.

this is soso beautiful! another beautiful ava maria is done by aaron neville. everyone should here it by aaron! both do a beautiful job! thanx for posting
First Heard Johnny Mathis in 1964 ,while serving with the british royal engineers ,in Kluang Malaya(Malaysia)..Lovely singer loved his voive ever since.
Love This song/hymn I used to play it on my trumpet in the school band many years ago I am now 70 and have been a johnny mathis fan as long as i can remember.I can't find his song " Feel Like making Love" tho' can anyone post it please please.
I like this version with Johnny Mathis than with Pavarotti, because it's most emotional, but I like much more Ava Maria ( schubert) singing by JOHNNY. Who have it? Please, post it.Thanks.
@MariaLengruber Yes; well I HAVE heard Pav sing this song - quite some time back.
You are speaking of 2 of the very Top of their fields here: Pav is my Fav tenor, but Johnny is surely among the top Popular singers as well.
Perhaps in these more lyrical pieces, John might match Pav - he certainly has a special quality. But I think with Nessun Dorma, etc. and many others, Pav would take the honours between them
I have loved this man unconditionally for 50years, I am 64.When I was growing up it gave me comfort and solace to listen to him. I was told I was precocious because I preferred him to all the pop out there. I have seen him in person 6 times over the years, and cry with happy tears each time. I still love him very much. junipurr44
In the mid '60's I was at the drive in movie with my girlfriend Donna in my '57 Chevy Bel Air 2 door door coupe when during the intermission, this song played over the wired speaker that hangs on the car window. We were making out when suddenly she gently unzipped my Levi's and gave me my first blow job. I'll tell you that I came like a bucket full of silver dollars on fire!!! I'll never forget that special moment... it sure felt good; real good... absolutely the best BJ I've ever had, Bogart
The version of Ave Maria that is sung on Johnny's album Good Night Dear Lord is the Franz Schubert version, I've uploaded it to youtube.
The words to Ave Maria were taken from SirWalter Scott's poem "The Lady Of The Lake." Adam Storck wrote the German translation that Schubert which is said to be the most popular version and is now sung in Latin. The person responsible for setting the Ave Maria lyrics in Latin remains a mystery to this day.
The melody is not wrong. This is the version of Ave Maria written by a composer by the name of Gounod. Everyone is familiar with the Schubert version.
Anything Johnny Mathis sings is sublimely beautiful.
Well if you like the melody or not...........this LP which is now on CD...went gold back in 1958. I think it was Johnnys 4th album.............Good Night Dear Lord......I love the way he sings this..!!!

should be, "that Schubert used."
stillgotit01 3 years ago
There are two versions of the Ave Maria, and JM does them both on his album -- each better than the other!!
This is not the Schubert version. This is the Bach-Gounod version.
How could anyone dispute its beauty??
