Johnny Mathis "Johnny One Note" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@lonestarfriend]

Still performing at 88, and still sounding great.

[@StephanieJeanne]

88, wow! 😊

[@eth.3296]

Saw him in concert with Dioone Warwick waaaaay back around 1985 at Radio City Music Hall And in recent years missed out on seeing him on 3 different occasions. But I am planning on seeing this This Great Crooner in October at WestBury in October 2024.😊

Yes

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

He was blessed with talent!

[@richardpodnar5039]

Always a superb performance!😊🎉❤

[@lonestarfriend]

That was great!

[@eth.3296]

Definitely Johnny Mathis and Shirley Bassey are both my all time favorites.😊

[@trumpiekeith8531]

The Supremes recorded a wonderful version for their 1967 Rodgers & Hart lp. It was cut, but finally released on cd with the album re-release. So far theirs is my favorite version, but this is well done.

[@kevingoins9858]

That Supremes album is a masterpiece

[@hnc52]

The Supremes Rodgers and Hart album was my introduction to the Great American Songbook. I still play it!

[@Kw1161]

Thanks for sharing and showing Johnny Mathis where he could have been in the Olympics. Now I sure Johnny is glad he chose music career…😊! Have a great day!

[@eth.3296]

Definitely he has made a lot more loot as a singer with over $300+ million to this day- than being an Olympic star. 😊

[@robertbrown7408]

Last of a whole generation of great singers now Tony Bennet has gone. 88 and still has great voice control.

[@wallychampen1695]

Great seeing his performances as a young singer. Thank you for this upload.

[@lq1qq25.5]

One of my favorites and has so many beautiful songs.

[@mzgri]

Love this man's voice! Especially when he sings "O Holy Night".

[@susandowns9383]

I loved Johnny Mathis!! Still had that beautiful voice til the end. Fell for him when I was a kid. Never stopped

[@Greyareas27]

He's not dead.

[@bh5606]

Terrific, as always.

[@caroletoney3209]

I have been a fan of Johnny Mathis from the beginning of his career ❤

[@frankjellison]

He recorded this in the early sixties. I have played it many times and have wondered why he didn't go for the high note at the end. Here he goes for it and makes it with no trouble. A wonderful Nelson Riddle arrangement

[@rubychew6535]

I've never heard a man sing this song it is mostly sung by women. I knew he was talented but being a child I didn't appreciate his style but now that I am an adult I enjoy his music.

[@eth.3296]

Yes that is so true, I didn't appreciate him when I was very young and until around 17 with his "You light up my life" lp. Saw him in concert around 1985 with Dioone Warwick at Radio City. Been a fan ever since and going to see him in October at WestBury N.Y. He is still astounding. Like you I too have only heard women sing this song. Dame Shirley Bassey does a powerful version of it !

[@josephochlak6853]

Bobby Short did a great version.

[@eth.3296]

The Great Singer Dame Shirley Bassey does a great job of singing this with such power !

[@veronicavivas6274]

Estoy esperando a que salga ❤❤

[@nathaliediaz2971]

WONDERFULL I LIKE IT A LOT THANK S FROM FRANCE

[@yingtzu3677]

You had me at JOHNNY MATHIS ❤❤❤

[@hdlc4635]

Love it! 😊

[@jwalt8019]

That ending was fiya!!!

[@StephanieJeanne]

That's a fun song! I've heard it from a female singer before, though I'm not sure who it was. Lots of people have done it, apparently. Johnny Mathis was pretty animated here. He did great, of course. ☺️💜

[@TeenNovelist]

Judy Garland sang it.

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@TeenNovelist Yes! It may have been her version I heard before. 😊 Thank you.

[@jwj19971]

Ella did a wonderful rendition.

[@hnc52]

Shirley Bassey did a great version.

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@hnc52 Wow! That's three great women! Cool! 😎

[@dennismclaurin1487]

I like to sing his name.

[@veronicavivas6274]

Siuuuuu

[@choward5430]

My mother loved him. My father did not.

[@barbaraellison1095]

That’s extremely interesting.

[@Fosifar]

[@Luvoldmovies-Kat.St.Aug.]

😂

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Lol

[@ronaldstockton3825]

A Judy Garland song.

[@jeanesingsjazz]

Judy Garland has the best version.

[@eth.3296]

Really, I've grown to really love Judy as my favorite singer Shirley Bassey (who also does a powerful version of it too) was inspired by Judy Garland - you hear Judy in Shirley. I'm going to look Judy up now doing that song - Thanks😊

[@DeptOfRevenue]

Curious why they picked that particular screenshot..just a coincidence I guess..

[@rivaridge7211]

I am a huge Johnny Mathis fan, but his "mugging" seemed silly to me. What was the point?

[@Skidoo22]

Nelson Riddle arrangement

[@garybennett1070]

Odd Rogers and Hart song that not everyone can pull off (Garland sang it magnificently). Mathis seems confident but it's not a good fit for him.

[@unknown-sx8sn]

I’m sorry but this is just awful 😢 besides forgetting the words his constant mugging is distracting, he usually has very few expressions while singing later on that seeing this makes me slightly uncomfortable. I’m glad someone steered him away from the Shirley Bassey impression as he is a great vocalist. And no, I don’t believe this had anything to do with his teeth as he claimed in an interview, if anything his behavior draws more attention to his mouth. Oh well, he was just starting his fabulous career and is one of the best. 🎉

Trying to hide missing teeth in the side of his mouth
