And to think, this was his debut single. A phenomenal song and his voice was so lovely.
What a wonderful tune. They don’t make them like they used to!
“Wonderful, Wonderful” (1956) by Johnny Mathis- anyone else a fan of this Wonderful Wonderful song?

Oh his voice was beautiful and one of a kind. I can’t think of anyone else who sounds like him.
Chances Are is his most famous song and his huge #1 hit and I love that song but my favorite is It’s Not For Me To Say.
He had so many amazing songs on that first album.

I love it. I remember being at one of his concerts at Chautauqua with my boyfriend. As he started singing ' wonderful, Wonderful," the woman in front of me turned around, smiled, and sighed as if she had been transported back to her teens. At intermission, I remarked that she seemed to be really enjoying the concert. She told me she used to have his posters on the walls of her bedroom and that that song was playing when she had her first kiss from her hs boyfriend. Ah, the innocence that has been lost.

I'm a huge Johnny Mathis fan. I think he's the most handsome male that ever lived.

“Wonderful, Wonderful” sounded like nothing else in 1956.

I will always associate it with the X-Files episode "Home".

Fun Fact: strangely enough, "Misty" was the theme song of "The Today Show" in the 1960's. The instrumental version.

That was also the opening theme to our late movie presentation where I grew up in the 1960s. The visual was a woman's hand lighting a candelabra.

I had a boyfriend who would drive about 4 1/2 hours to see me. He would drive in the evenings and I would send him music to keep him awake and keep him occupied while he drove. I would always send him “99 miles from LA.“ It’s my favorite Johnny Mathis song. He died of Covid during the pandemic and I miss him still.

R12 why do you have some exaggerated sob story to tell on every thread like this?
