Johnny Mathis - When I Am With You

This video and song were requested. When I was asked, all I could think about was that the seeds of Mathis Magic are even stronger today than they were in 1958, when the album "Johnny's Greatest Hits," first came to being and this is one of the songs from that album. How amazing is it that in 2009, it is still a requested song, as are all of the songs on that very first greatest hits album! Now, on CD, you can still purchase it. If you're a younger fan and don't have this CD, it's a must have. You can also buy the original mp3.

Johnny Mathis was the first to ever have a greatest hits album. And, in case, someone doesn't know this, this very album is in the "Guinness Book of World Records." Why? Because no other album stayed at the top of the charts, but this one, for 490 consecutive weeks way back then.... or since. No recording artist has ever surpassed that world record with an album.




Composer: I had conflicting names as to who composed this song so, unfortunately, I had to leave out the composer/composers. If you think you know who he/she/they are, please leave a comment. Thank you.

Photos: As an amateur, I always say, I do the best that I can with these videos. I wouldn't even know how to begin to put a frame around perfection and, luckily for obvious reasons, I don't have to.

When I was 14 I would sing this to the girls. God, I was such a mushy kid. But it is a very pretty song. Sung sweetly by a very warm and generous man.

Oh ! the lyrics are so profound, its not me trying so hard to make you happy with me ,but I am happy because I am with you , we create our destiny ,These words would be beautiful in a wedding vow, I'am sure many use it. I do hope that Mr.Mathis was talking about himself as well

Oh how I love this song and this album; where oh where have the years flown so rapidly, Johnny. God bless your wonderful heart and voice.

One of the most beautiful and romantic songs ever written, composed and sung so beautifully by Johnny Mathis. Especially the line, It's not just for what you are yourself that I love you as I do, but for what I am when I am with you." Thanks for posting. I love this song.
