On this date in 1963 {Jan. 26th} "What Will My Mary Say" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart, eventually it would peaked at No. 9 and spent a total of 12 weeks in the Top 100!!!
Sooo pure! Absolute perfection by Johhny Mathis. He comes from a time when you had to have real TALENT to make it in the music industry, unlike the junk...pure crap today that makes millions. A beautiful melody...compelling lyrics and a unique voice and style that is his and his alone. Beautiful song!
Not really, but this song reminds me of my classmate Derek H. I didn't know Johnny Mathis was gay back then but it seems so fitting this Gay man was singing a song that inspired romantic feelings for me, even though that was not the direct purpose.
Thank you so much for this video. I've searched and searched for this song since I only knew a few words but remembered the music. My middle name is Mary and my dad sang a few of the lyrics to me as a little girl and hummed the melody. He'd say, "Mary, don't go." He died last year and how I miss him. I love you Dad.
I remember hearing this song on the radio in MN. WDGY in Mpls. I was probably 5 when i started listening to top 40 radio. Still really like this song!
@bornin51 Thank you for your kind comments! I agree... the song is the very best by johnny mathis!! Love his music!!! Thanks for listening and God Bless to you!!!
@gva0917 The song was popular in the early 1960's. I loved his music back then and now too! Thank you for watching and for your nice comments!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
Johnny has sung of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. This song is my 2nd favorite, first being Gina. Thanks for the post.

My very dear friend, recently departed, Ed Snyder, co-wrote this song. Ed also co-wrote "Strangers In The Night" and many, many more.

Johnny never gets old. His voice is as sweet as ever and his songs are some of the most beautiful ever.
Do you have a full version of Gina done in English?

I was in the 10th grade with a Gay crush on the new boy in my home room named "Derek H."
I think that was early 1963
