Arianne was released by Johnny Mathis on his album KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HER SONG in 1973. It was also released as a single.

Finally fixed it from the 60's to 70's. Sometimes I absentmindedly rewrite history!

it must be my lucky day i just found what i believe is mathis best song ever yet hardly known by the way aaron neville is the other artist that recorded it its found here on youtube / thanks cyber mathis said that sometimes he would be singing anywhere and some old lady would walk up to him and say damn it that is one sensual song again thanks for this a rare find

Johnny Mathis recorded this song in 1973 on the "Killing Me Softly Album." The Neville Brothers weren't around then. They recorded it in 1994. No, it's some other artist in the 70's, but I can't find who that would have been. It could be Johnny was the original recording artist, but I don't think so. I remember it sounding like someone else (like "Bread," but they didn't record it.)

This is a little known song on his album Killing Her Softly (1973) I personally believe that it should have been made a single. It is sensual and the most descriptive grouping of words that describe one in love.

It was made into a single by some other recording artist.

Johnny sung many tunes about women; Gina, Maria, Misty, Sunny, (Bye Bye) Barbara, Evie, & Aubrey which is also on the Arianna album "Killing Me Softly With Her Song" (1973). Both cuts, "Aubrey" and "Arianne" are tender songs that never charted the Top 40... yet should / would have if released earlier. The album dropped with the same title (except changing "his" with "her") as Roberta Flacks #1 Gold Hit which was 5 weeks #1 and 13 weeks Top 40. So... Johnny's title & rendition were "covers."

I am also Arianne. Good to know if you need something to rhyme with 'arianne' you can use 'with a tan' .Except I'm pretty pale

What a love song should be...a telling of a story as only the great Johnny Mathis can do. Beautiful...gives me goosebumps....in the middle when he hits those high notes..oh my. Jane in Ohio

@arianne1115 i was named after this song too...and i was born in 1978:)

[Hermeterec]

from Jose, the Hermeterec.....to mysteryfaze....My dear person, you are so very right. Love....it is the one thing in life that makes living worth while. It is so very often so much easier to settle, to compromise.....for convenience, for security...for appearances...Ultimately, however, the only thing that REALLY matters is love. So very rare...so many of us NEVER find it and it is the only thing in one's life that REALLY matters.

[mysteryfaze]

Ah, to be so loved...

Arianne is a very beautiful song, He says he milks her of her kisses and swallows up her breathing, and taste her where she loves him.  It is how a person sings a song that I love and Johnny Mathis always does. He should win an award for this song...

[AHW27]

Ha, I thought I was the only one named after this song! It must have really had an effect on our parents. :)
