My husband and I and our son, went to Johnny Mathis' concert in Las Vegas, in 2006, for our 52nd anniversary. It was his 50th anniversary. We have been to many of his concerts, and they are always wonderful. His long-time guitarist is Gil Reigers. He was in the movie, "Yours, Mine, and Ours," with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda, as the 2nd oldest teenager. He carried his guitar around in that movie, too!

I can still recall the very first time I heard this song somewhere in the 70's. It was the early hours of the morning when I was driving from Oregon to Nevada. Art Garfunkel was the artist and I always considered his version to be the best until I heard Johnny.
