Johnny Mathis ~ Yellow Roses on Her Gown

Poignant song composed by Michael Moore and beautifully sung by Johnny, on his own special in late 70's during a multi -concert tour in Great Britain. The meaning felt by Johnny is so obviously expressed in both his voice and face.Although this song is uploaded elsewhere here in audio format- i am pleased to provide the video. Enjoy.

I got chills. This man is the most incredible singer and

interpreter of a lyric I have ever heard. Effortless and so

heartfelt. What a gift he is. Whay hasn't he received a

Kennedy Center Honor? He'spast his 75th birthday &

still selling out concert halls. *****

@jeh500 -absolutely. and many people have asked that same question- -some people have received (the Kennedy honor) twice. People- JM's fans- provide him with the greatest honor of appreciation. While institutions are important- sometimes they take themselves in too much grandeur and lose sight of who they really serve- the people- not themselves.

Johnny Mathis taped this BBC Television Spectacular on May 25, 1977, at their Television Center in London, during his British Tour that year. It was aired later that year, on September 30, 1977.

BRAVO!!! This is ART! The highest honours COMPOSER Michael Moore who created this incredibly beautiful song , where poetry and melody are in complete harmony, also to the ARRANGER - what's his name? - who wrote the unforgettable orchestration (score) and last but not least to SINGER Johnny Mathis as the unique and unimitable interpreter. Mr. Johnny Mathis is both one of the greatest performers of the 20th century and a real gentleman.

Thanks a million for sharing this tremendous video.
