this guy is 80 years old.. let that sink in.

[@dianabeurman364]

Hard to believe

[@venanciahopkins5035]

Johnny Mathis is a legend! One of the greats! I love him and my mom loved him! He is still handsome at eighty years old! Also what incredible taste in music he has!

[@dawnquixote3870]

Love Johnny Mathis, a class act and real talent

[@deborahcage8495]

Johnny Mathis is absolutely the greatest!! I'm interested to hear whatever he has to sing or say!! I admire you so much Mr. Mathis!!! Great interview AMOEBA Music!!

[@SaintMartins]

I grew up listening to Johnny's album, "Christmas Eve With Johnny Mathis" (1986) every Christmas on vinyl. His voice....the memories.....

[@65motowngirl]

I'm enjoying these Johnny Mathis interviews I'm just now finding. He's such a sweet man. I loved his music since the 50's but never heard him talk until now. What a charming personality he has.

[@alexmathewmendoza]

Despite the fact that he's sold dozens of millions of records I feel that his music and voice are very underrated.

[@Pat4HUMANITY]

You can certainly say that! In fact the man has NEVER really gotten his due. If you listen to all, most of, his music you can EASILY make a case for Johnny being.....the best singer ever, period! A damn nice man too.

[@williedynamyte]

Some great music picks Johnny. You can never go wrong with Jobim and Oscar Peterson.

[@patrobison8105]

John SO needs to be recognized by the Kennedy Honors! Please write (email) them& request he be honored--hard to believe they havent done so, already!!! BEST of the best!!

[@TheseOpenRoads]

Wow! What a master! I had heard his name before - but never went out and listened to his music! Seems like a very knowledgeable and accomplished man!

[@Pat4HUMANITY]

Do yourself a huge favor and dig up a lot of his music on some place like rhapsody. I don't care what kind music you like--you're in for a treat!

[@TraxandGrooves]

Mr. Mathis is a class act. And it was very interesting to see his choice of music.

[@bestofjoy]

He's so sweet 😍

[@melissa2688]

Ah Johnny Mathis! I love him thanks to my father (RIP).

[@janecamargo5069]

Adoro ouvir Johnny Mathis

[@africanzionflo]

I'm so sorry that I missed my most precious singer that day. I have cherished Johnny Mathis and his music my whole life and my favorite store has always been Amoeba Records. Well maybe next time.

[@dianabeurman364]

HE SINGS BRAZILLIAN LIKE NOBODY CAN!! THE BEST !!

[@idealistmoon]

one of my favorite singers and his picks are awesome great bossa nova albums

[@breezycovergirl]

My son went on a mission to Portugal, speaks the language and such a beautiful time l had visiting him there. Love ❤️ love the people and the music. Thanks ❤️

[@SleepFan771]

What an interesting and sincere guy. Cool video.

[@tuffryda]

my boy johnny mathis clean.

[@migs532]

I love, love, love Bossa Nova Music. Especially Astrud Gilberto, (Joao Gilberto's ex wife), she is amazing and her daughter as well. Also Stan Getz!

[@pattiv3741]

Johnny Mathis the Greatest singer ever.

[@Jam5bam]

This man is so dope......Mathis Is my favorite album of his. I could meet him and talk about music all day.

[@katherinestewart9050]

Oh...that's what makes your voice beautiful...I LOVE SINGING BY MYSELF!!🥰🥰🎯 MUSIC is Life to me to Feel the words a melody 💖💖💖🌞🥰🥰💙🥂🍾

[@maxwell_young]

the production value and detail put into this series right now is really fantastic. loved this episode with my favourite jazz singer and all his picks were so wonderful. keep it up amoeba.

[@amoeba]

+Maxwell Young Awesome, that's great to hear! Thanks for watching. We'll do everything we can to keep making these even better.

[@haroldleboeuf8648]

Been a huge fan for over 55 years

[@Piwork69]

What an education to hear his take on music then and now. It really is true that melody seems to missing from today's popular music--probably why I don't listen to much of it.

[@divamartinsdacunha9479]

Johnny mathis é divino maravilhoso, ao mesmo tempo é humilde e simpático, as entrevistas que da são com a maior educação e elegância, além de ser um grande artista, é um ser humano carinhoso e inteligente para mim ele é inigualável ,eu o admiro muito

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

Something about his voice reminds me of Robin Williams sometimes when he speaks..

[@deborahcage8495]

+PJ now that you mention it - Mr. Mathis' voice does have inflections of Robin Williams! I love Mr. Mathis' voice.He speaks as melodically as he sings.

[@northmann5837]

He looks younger than 80

[@godviberecords4376]

wow the legend this is so beautiful

[@BloodylocksBathory]

I love that he took interest with an album simply because Geoffrey Holder did the cover art.

[@Koykah]

fell in love with Portuguese music too ever sense i heard Seu Jorge and even got Joao Gilberto with Stan Getz on vinyl from this years record store day... cool picks johnny

[@ctaddictb]

+koykah brazillian music

[@Koykah]

+Andre Laskos yeah i didnt get any sleep brains alittle off, but if you wanna be technical yes brazilian music but they sing in portuguese so....

[@maxinavarro]

+koykah I think you just simply dind't phrase it very good. You say ''Portuguese music'' when you're talking about music from Portugal. Not really a problem tho. I think everybody understood your point.

[@Koykah]

+Maxi Navarro ye i tired an lil stoned

[@sblove99]

great to see Mr. Mathis!

[@jeffdawson2786]

Legendary singer. I wish this was longer.

[@ManfromuncoolBlogspotstars]

Thank you, this is a wonderful episode.

[@estersoares3299]

Adoro esse cantor meu sonho e conhecer ele minha paixão beijos abraços querido eu sou Ester

[@RaymondHng]

Mathis attended the same junior high school and high school that I attended. My string orchestra teacher in junior high was a violist in the Circle Star Theater and every spring, she would take the class on a field trip to the Circle Star to watch Johnny Mathis rehearse. After he finished a set, he would come down to the audience area where we sat and greet us.

[@kschirod]

We should all thank God that Johnny's father got him to a great teacher. He could have ruined that beautiful gift from God with the wrong one. So thank you Mr Mathis for the gift of your son. I have loved Johnny since I was 12 years old that was 65 years ago.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Penguin619]

Anyone who wants to check out more info on the amazing Geoffrey Holder, there's an amazing youtube video on him from a channel called No Small Parts.

[@stanburdick9708]

Was listening to jobim and the like at age 16 am now 67, in fact still have some original Brazilian artist LPs either you like it or you don't, it just gets in your blood and stays thier

[@GrrMeister]

*He is well up in my Top 100's Playlists*

[@edwincancelii2917]

Joāo Gilberto means John Gilbert in Portuguese. And in Spanish is Juan Gilberto, not to be confused with the announcer, Johnny Gilbert.

[@warrenlightning8137]

God knows how long I've been in love with Johnny. BTW, I am female using a friend's account.

[@candy9986]

What a sweetie. Always gives a great interview. A generous spirit.

[@kestnerjerri28]

Wonderful as always. 💖

[@terezajesus7900]

Gosto muito! da voz e dos olhos dele 👏👏👏

[@pajamasflannel]

Joe Torrey - what a cool dude!

[@Brendonmakesmesmile]

He's 80? no way. wikipedia is lying.

[@ShirleyArleneGray1935]

+Brendonmakesmesmile No, Brendonmakesmesmile, Wikipedia is telling the truth. He turned 80 last September 30, 2015, and I am six months older, than he is. I have a KZbin Channel with nothing, but Johnny Mathis' videos. The latest one, for Christmas, 2014, is very popular. His Archivist, and others are aware, of my videos. If you would like to check them out, just add the word, "Playlists," to my full name, and it will take you to all, of my Playlists. Just click on, "The Joy Of Christmas," video, which is the most recent. It will be a real treat, at this Christmas Season! Regards, Shirley!

[@asstroeongdong-min1709]

As they say 'black don't crack' Seriously though it's more than his looks, but the way he speaks, he's still sharp.

[@clarkb5137]

Johnny is the best. If you say i’m wrong than you are saying Oprah is wrong too. Also christmas music, seriously? He’s got more than that.

[@richardmurphy9006]

A Grand Guy

[@marianbattistella4389]

HIS VOICE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WHITE ROSE.

[@Koykah]

pays to be up at 6:30 am thanks amoeba

[@kramg1995]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@FreezerKing]

Mr. Mathis' newest albums is called "Get Off My Lawn: These New Kids Can't Sing"

[@brooklynboiprod]

That would be so fitting

[@asstroeongdong-min1709]

This made my night

[@stanburdick9708]

yep their just punk brats out for a fast buck and fame............FORGET IT!!!!

[@done1675]

That's entirely not what he says and not what his point is at all.

[@terezajesus7900]

❤❤❤❤

[@matthewensign9683]

Soft Rock...for when you get older. He's happy, so that's cool i guess.

[@octavemagescas3192]

1:04 that version of "The Girl Of Ipanema" is NOT by Jobim and Getz, it's by Joao Gilberto and Getz, from the "Getz/Gilberto" album. yo.

[@amoeba]

+Octave Magescas This is also the version on that particular Jobim collection. If you've got a link to the version you mentioned, please share it.

[@GrrMeister]

*Better by far recorded by Astrud Gilberto*

[@breezycovergirl]

l bought alot of albums at amoeba

[@VeeFoster]

As a fan of Brazalilian musuc, I'm surptised Johnny Mathis never sang any duets with Astrud Gilberto.

[@BnaBreaker]

80 years old man...I'm 33 and look about as old as he does. haha

[@eileensudeck3705]

Johnny Mathis is a recovering alcohol.

[@johnfulmer4058]

Methanol or isopropyl?

[@FancyTortoise]

At times Mathis sounds just like Robin Williams

[@louderthangod]

What's with the Yankees hat?!? You're from San Francisco...minus 1,000,000 cool points.

[@cuzcuzcuzcuzcuzcuz]

+louderthangod Neat

[@louderthangod]

***** Worst reason ever!

[@ShirleyArleneGray1935]

+louderthangod Johnny Mathis has always had a big fan club, and he has always chosen to wear sweaters his fans send him. They may send caps, too, but I don't know that, for sure. He may have been there replacing cd's lost, when his house recently burned down, or those may be recent cd's, of artists he likes. He has always listened to a lot, of music - not his own!

[@vliciouss]

Oh... are your poor little feelings hurt ?

[@louderthangod]

You should probably hit replay to whomever you're talking to. If it was me, I was clearly joking.

[@Changorangutang]

great to see johnny but im disappointed in his sense of style..

[@matthewensign9683]

+Ben Cheng Yeah, I'm not into ASMR music...

[@merickz78]

Just in time for Christmas. Some good Brazilian music too. Way to go Johnny!
