Johnny Mathis - I Will Wait For You

[0217ldp]

I love his version of this song best from all the rest. He has the best voice, I think he made the right choice betweeen the olympics and the audition in New York

[35777]

he was a hunk, mmmm mmmm mmmm

[helenatroiaaa]

"Se demorar para sempre

eu vou esperar por você

espero mil verões

eu vou esperar por você."

[prisca541]

I would like to say this....but it is so impractical, so unwanted, so foolish for me to even think of waiting when I am not even wanted on a permanent basis. Yet this song says what my heart is saying...and it hurts.

[gemeyes2]

The greatest singer the world has ever known !!

[TheRichaard1]

Listening and watching Mathis sing this takes my breath away...;what a marvelous package, the voice, the expressions, the apparel (always very stylish) truly a great artist. And a really nice guy, met him several times and interviewed him three times on the ocassion of his concerts inj New York City.

[5chiawu]

OMG such brilliance in rendering this song! I was awed!

[UpwardsFallings]

No one can reach Connie Francis' version. I heard all of the covers of this song and they all were mediocre at best. Connie's version is timeless and amazing.

[fadihelwanji]

The best ever.

[mangocat3]

i'm of a generation that knows nothing of johnny mathis ... born well after his heydey. but now i'm listening to him. OMG! what a voice! i can see why he's been a big deal. big singing stars today barely can hold a note ... what happened over the years? singers in my parents' time had really beautiful voices!

[conyelp]

@mangocat3 Hi there, you are so lucky to have discovered Johnny. He is for people of all generations. He truly works at his craft and is so darn good at it. You've seen his web site right? Youtube won't let us type URL website addresses. Go to the google search engine and type in official web site for Johnny Mathis and it should give it to you. I think we are blessed to be living in the time of Johnny Mathis. Thanks for your comments.

[josephmacalino]

My favorite singers are Johnny Mathis, Cliff Richard, Jack Jones and Nat King Cole. For composers - Michel Legrand, Burt Bacharach and Lennon/Mc Cartney. Thanks for posting this song.

[masorlie]

Pure talent!

[smagisa]

I love your voice Johnny so cool................

[gemeyes2]

A living legend ! The greatest singer ever on this earth...enjoy

[mcoble84]

He is the best singer of our time and only gets better with age.

[janknuckey]

An brave and interesting arrangement: not my particular cup of tea (still prefer Connie Francis & Matt Monro's) but Johnny is always a pleasure to listen to

[amyheart7]

I love this voice!

[vodka4everandalways]

@amyheart7 I have all his old LP's, I don't know if you know what they are. They are in mint condition. You may be too young to know what LP's are. I have seen Johnny Mathis in person so, so many times. He is very shy, and yes, I know he was gay. But I don't care, he has so, so much talent. He used to be a basket ball player in college. And, he sings about love so, so beautifully. Most hetrosexual men should get the message from his songs, because it is what a woman wants to hear. Anne

[VALERIA200395]

YES HE IS THE ONE OF THE BEST!!!! HE SING INCREDIBLE!! I LOVE HIM!!

[gva0917]

One of the all-time great artists. His voice is powerful and tender at the same time. This kind of voice comes along rarely. A tremendous talent! This is the kind of voice and music that will be as lovely to the ear in 3010 as it is continues to be in 2010! Thank you.

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

hmmm with this guitar sound like russian music.

[felinefraulein]

Matt Monroe,s version is good too !

[dieformybeloved]

it makes me cry....he have a wonderful voice...

[geraldoeuclide1940]

Esperarei por você; o Johnny fez a canção fiar mais linda!

[Exzeluke]

THANK YOU THANK YOU

One of my all-time favorite songs since I first saw Umbrellas of Cherbourg. I had no idea Johnny Mathis sang this. BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, BEST VERSION on YouTube. Better than Barbra.

[paulostroff99]

@Exzeluke -One of the most beautiful musicals ever filmed. Bravo Michel Legrand,and bravo Catherine De Neuvre.

[nanci188]

Wonderful!!!!!

[chessygurlalways]

Baby, that's what I've been doing for the past 20 yrs. Please wait for me. It will be worth it all. Don't give up, I'll walk right into your life. It will be breath taking for the both of us. Wait baby.

[farizatto]

One the best singers i have see.

Great voice

[liatjetta]

Johnny always seems to have a hidden message in his songs.

even a certain sadness comes through.with all his lyrics.

Beautiful haunting voice. Once he passes on, there is nobody to replace a voice like that

[udon890]

I like Johnny Mathis. I don't care much about his personal sex life, it has nothing to do with me anyways. I only like his songs, that is all.

[LSSMVT]

What does a person's sex life have to do with a beautiful voice?

[Ekica944]

i have always lloved him, especialy this song-great interpretation.

[jfktwo]

I'm a too died-in-the-wool Johnny Mathis fan to give anyone but this awesome legendary/singer my kudos for this song. Although I do understand that we all have our specific choices and favotires and that's a very good thing..

[Nik565]

I will not deny this guy did a great job with this song. I still have to say I prefer Connie's version. Near the end it almost sounded like she would break down into tears.

[fabia54]

Johnny mathis! Merveilleux et talentueux chanteur!

Si tu visites ma chaine, ce chanteur te rappellera certainement quelques souvenirs....

Tu te reconnaitras...

Fabia

[parodylover]

Definately not as good as Connie Francis... His tone kinda ruins the feeling to what this song is supposed to mean...

[eria01]

I have always loved Johnny Mathis. What a singer and a true gentleman.

[iangordoncraig]

Awful. Why is he going so fast?

[udon890]

I like Johnny Mathis since I was a teenage.  I bought a concert ticket and saw him in Hong Kong. He was great.

[aroukalyne]

c'est merveilleux !! La voix de cet artiste est incomparable.. mon coeur de violoniste est complètement "pris" par la magie d'un timbre et des intonations de voix veloutées et généreuses - Merci Mr Johnny Mathis pour ce talent que vous nous faites partager .. Thanks for your magix voice

[motowngirl65]

Who cares that he's gay. He was not IN YOUR FACE about it . In fact, he did not want it to be known. It's no body's business. Too bad the queers of today feel they have to out every body else.

[udon890]

to motowngirl65: I agree. I don't care he is gay or not gay.

[conyelp]

Johnny Mathis was given his wonderful talent of singing by God, the heck with his sexual preference. He is and always will be my favorite singer and by the way he is a role model of mine too. He is an upstanding and honorable human being. I feel sorry for people who allow the personal life of an entertainer to affect their attitude about the persons talent.

[dawideck]

Don't see the gap between "given by God" and "sexual preference" (I presume he's gay...). I don't judge, I've read Your comment by accident :)

However... Great song, great interpretation.

[MsCathyMarie]

@conyelp "I feel sorry for people who allow the personal life of an entertainer.........." Then WHY? did you feel a need to post his private life to the nation????????

[conyelp]

@MsCathyMarie I don't get the intent of your post. My comment didn't out Johnny as a gay man. If you'll go to the Wikipedia encyclopedia website and type in Johnny Mathis you'll see in the information that it lists about him . Johnny is my favorite singer and one my role models, he isn't ashamed of his personal life and no one needs to apologize for it. He is a great human being and I hope we have him around for a long time to come.

[MsCathyMarie]

@conyelp "I feel sorry for people who allow the person life of an entertainer to affect........................­.WHAT??? Then WHY oh WHY did you feel a need to post his private choices to the World Wide Web ?????????????

[mlcoolk1]

@conyelp

I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't know what his sexual preference is and don't care to know. All I can say is that we as "humans" need to be a little more open hearted as well as opened minded towards eachother; if not, we will only end up killing destroying man kind due to homophobia, and that is something that we all cannot afford or allow to happen.

[kalun888]

wah...1st time heard it....great great GREAT

[MrCesaralves]

[sharonbeva]

[clochette67]

Ah il en fait des grimaces, mais alors quelle voix !!! On n'a loupé aucun de ses passages à la TV ni aucun de ses spectacles à l'Olympia.. De vrais moments de bonheur à l'écouter. Merci

[shiv31]

THE GREATEST MAN SINGER EVER !!

[silviasweetnote]

When I hear Johnny Mathis sing, I experience a tingling, "fallen in love" feeling. This song makes me cry. He sings it beautifully. Like everything else he sings. He's just lovely. silviasweetnote

[carrotsup]

I like Johnny Mathis voice best, easy and smooth on the ears

[ClassicalOJazz]

[rahmit47]

Matt Monroe does an amazing rendition of this song that's as good as Johnnies and somewhat more revealing of how the song should sung.But Matt has that stands along side al the great singers.

[floral4149]

I saw Johnny Mathis perform many years ago at Cain Park in Cleveland Hts, Ohio. His voice mezmerizes me and I still get goose pimples and I am 85 years old. Flo

[brasileira99]

Esta é uma das razões deste monstro da canção estar fazendo sucesso há mais de 50 anos, que Deus o conserve cantando para nós por muitos anos mais.
