from Jose', the Hermeterec.........I can still remember having seen the movie "Flower Drum Song", starring Nancy Kwan, Miyoshi Umecki and James Shigeta. I was transported....but then back in those days I lived almost totally vicariously, constantly haunting the movie theatres when I wasn't studying my books (I went exclusively to Catholic schools). I can still remember that song by Rodgers and Hammerstein and nobody can sing it like Johnny Johnny is the Leitmotif of an era of balladeers.
One of Rodgers and Hammerstein's most beautiful songs, from "Flower Drum Song," and nobody can sing it like Johnny Mathis. His 1958 recording was a top-20 hit that year, and no wonder.
