Moonlight Becomes You - Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis sings this song to incredible perfection.

The song called for a lovely young girl. Maria (19Rebel57) gave me permission to use photos of her own daughter and the photos of her daughter fit the lyrics exactly.

She also supplied photos of Johnny, alone, as well as photos of Johnny taken with her daughter, for the perfect fantasy date. She allowed me to have some fun with her personal photos, and to hopefully create a romantic video. I sure hope you have as much fun watching and listening, as I did making this video.




This song is from the 1959 album, "Heavenly" and can be purchased on CD, as well as mp3. Another version can be found on the "Hollywood Muscials" album with Henry Mancini.

Composers: Johnny Burke & Jimmy VanHeusen

I see, by the comments from others, there are many JM fans like myself. I was a teenager when he began his career and just loved the sound of his voice. I bought many of his albums and still have them. Some of my friends, even now, remember how much I loved his music then, and I love it just as much today. Thanks for bringing back so many memories with your downloads.

once upon a moonlit night, many years ago,someone whisphered in my ear that moonlight became me.thank you, ReadMe, for the memories, and even more for the elegant beauty of his perfection. My sister-in-law's brother knows J.M. very well and my chance of meeting him thru this connection seems nil, but I never say never.

I sang at Carnegie Hall once, + my entire family said it wouldn't happen, + didn't come. So who knows, maybe I'll sing with him yet.

Thank you so much. IrenePaxSings

Once upon a moonlit night, many years ago, when i was lil boy my mother whispered in my ear that moonlight became me. Thanks to my RIP parents for the wonderful memories, and even more for helping me discover the elegant beauty of our Moonlight.

Heavenly is one of his best LP's ever......and Johnny is the best singer ever.

I kept listening to 'Heavenly' over and over again when I was 16. OMG! This nostalgia is breaking my heart!
