It seems that all the Mathis videos from about 1973-74 (with the Tongiht Show Orchestra) are the hottest Mathis vids on youtube. This seems, quite possibly, to be when Johnny Mathis was at the peak of his game. When you get that darn good it's hard to compare apples and oranges but, Johnny Mathis would be my favorite. He was born a star singer.
Ditto Moyodsreds.................this is music, Johnny is music....the music today is crap, can't call it music.....just get up and scream and sell it, woof
wonder what the sigh was at the end of this beautifully poignant love note about, he seemed to be really moved at the end, that's why I like the video with the song .Mr. Mathis has touched places in my heart that I didnot know was there ,he has this way of taking you into his world without exposing too much of himself ,in my opinion he is the best at this, I cried for an hour after seeing/hearing this the first time , The best ever, you have/will deserve every honor given to you
Pieces of dreams by Johnny Mathis is truely his best performance. I was lucky to have seen Johnny Mathis sing in concert about 7 times now. Almost every time I've got to meet him, the first time he kissed me on my cheek (I think he was actually going to kiss me on my lips but I turned away thinking how impolite that would be for me to do that to HIM, hahaa. But I wanted to. Always been kind to let me get a picture with him & autographed it concerts later. I love Johnny Mathis .God bless
I HAVE TO BE HIS BIGGEST FAN!!! JUST FEEL LIKE I MISSED OUT ON SUCH AN AWESOME ERA. I'M 33 AND ONLY DUE TO A CRUISE I WAS ON DID I DISCOVER AN ESSENTIAL PART MISSING IN MY LIFE AND CANT GET ENOUGH OF MY MATHIS MUSIC. MANY THANKS FOR POSTING. WISH I HAD GOT TO MEET THE MAN. HE IS BEYOND INCREDIBLE.
Imagine, people actually got to watch this in the NBC studio for free? Where did the talent go? Stellar performance of a magnificent song by John Williams, and lyrics by Paul Williams, from the movie "Cinderella Liberty." 2 thumbs way up!
I, OF COURSE, LOVE HIM TO PIECES...HAVE SINCE HE STARTED HIS CAREER AS THE BEST VOCALIST IN THE WORLD. IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THIS SONG MEANT SOMETHING SPECIAL TO JOHNNY. I KEPT BACKING IT UP TO WATCH THE END, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS EMOTIONALLY AFFECTED BY IT; IF SO, IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR HIM TO SING IT...BUT HE DID...AND SO PERFECTLY. THANKS AGAIN 19rebel57
Thank you for sharing this beautiful, beautiful song....It is so freaking fantastic!!! The sound quality is to die for. It is so unusual for a clip this old....
I posted it on Facebook for Valentines and the feed back was so overwhelming. I'm still getting feed backs from all over the world... Simply Fantastic Thank you again for sharing.
Ohh Can you please DELETE the comment of that prick who does not like the song...It' so annoying. Cheers
An absolutely excellent rendition of this beautiful song. Johnny paints pictures of the words of a song emitting emotion which those who truely listen can feel. He is the best ever!!!
What a wonderful song. Johnny has a way of finding beautiful/somewhat-obscure songs. I also love the video of "Photograph". It's in the same vein as "Nice to be Around" ... just so pretty.
This song was written and sung by Paul Williams -- it was written for the movie "Cinderella Liberty" - with Marsha Mason, James Caan, Eli Wallach -- filmed in Seattle in 1973.
Great video and great song. I've been looking to see if any of his Tonight Show appearances are on dvd but so far no luck. Thanks for sharing them. I'll get to see him in person in Atlanta in about six weeks. Yippeee!
Johnny Mathis certainly is a nice man to be around. So sweet and such a gentleman. Wonderful song - wonderful video - one of the best on here. Thanks 19rebel57.
Words from my own heart and mind, Googoo726. The more I listen to this song- the more I love it- it has such emotionality in it- and Johnny's ability to infect it with his own way of connecting to his music in such a personal way. I'm thinking of moving to West Hollywood. (just kidding......) Thank you 19rebel57- your videos are wonderful. (did you stay up and watch Johnny Carson for all those years?) :)
Awesome!!!! I wish they had 10 stars because that is what the rating of this song should be. Johnny is a Master at his craft and he proves it singing this song with such ease and emotion. I love Johnny and this reminds me why. THanks 19rebel57 for another Mathis Classic.
WOW, 19rebel57, thanks so much for presenting this awesome, awesome recording video, I just love it. The quality of the videos you are sharing are just perfect, both the sound and the video itself. Please keep them coming, this is just such a wonderful treat.
never heard this- but he brings something special to whatever he sings- because he brings his whole self everytime- just love these- thank you, 19rebel51 for continuing to share more of these!
I so love this song Maria, thank you so much for posting.

Not an easy song to sing and as always he mastered it and captivated the audience. He's so talented, he makes it look easy to sing this song.
