Have you heard the new Johnny Mathis interview on the BBC Radio 4 "Frontline" programme?
He is asked about his Chic recordings and says that "he plays it a lot…it's very enjoyable…I loved doing it…it was a new departure for me…it's not mind boggling or anything."
Asked why it was never released, he says that "…the record company is all mighty when you are making recordings to sell…they didn't think that it would sell..."
It is possible to download a podcast of the interview.
A great song, a wonderful production by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, whole Chic organization, those oh-so-very-Chic strings. Rodgers & Edwards really pushed Johnny Mathis in such a soulful direction. Love that looong note that Mathis holds at the end of this match made in heaven collaboration. Thank you for this!
The sublime Nile Rodgers and the late great Bernard Edwards... I never knew Chic worked with Johnny Mathis... This is a gem.

A super video. It is good to hear a less wellknown song sung as only Johnny Mathis can sing it. The views are beautiful too.
