this is one great song. The version I remember came out about 1970 from the Sandpipers. Their harmony is glorious.

magnifique performance vocale !!!

Wow, the only vocal arrangement that I heard on the radio, was the 1970 version of this song by Migel Rios. When did Johnny record this song? Nice. I 'm a big fan of Johnny, but Migel's version is so much more powerful.

This song sounds like it belongs on a xmas cd.........Am I wrong? For some reason I can see Johnny singing this next to a xmass tree! But what do I know Im a nice Jewish boy from Jersey!

[cybernautev]

Well, it could be on an xmas cd. I may have not recorded all xmas stuff. Or maybe Johnny's people never thought of putting it on an xmas cd. I recall hearing this song on a.m. radio sung by someone else back in the 60's or 70's. So someone else made it famous and Johnny's people probably saw it as good material for him to do and it wound up on "Close To You".

[kellyw5]

This song has nothing to do with Xmas or religion. It is from the "peace, love, equality" era of the 1960's. It is a beautiful song - about equality of all mankind and based on Beethoven's symphony - depicted in the movie Immortal Beloved.

[haitiano73]

Yes that's from the "Close To You" album that's quite a gem

[frankd1965]
