Michael Johnson - Bluer Than Blue

A great evening at The Bowery Stage - Michael drew appreciative fans from many miles away to this Sunday evening concert in our small East Texas town!

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

What a beautiful man. I met Michael many years ago in Paso Robles where I saw him in concert and invited him to my restaurant about 4 miles from where he was staying. He ended up walking all the way down to meet with me and hang out for a couple of hours. He had a prior engagement that he was supposed to go to but he decided to visit me instead of going to that meeting. We became friends immediately. He said that we had kindred spirits. We kept in touch and I got to visit with him in Nashville and go to an interview he had at the Wildhorse saloon I spoke with Michael about 3 weeks before he passed and the last words he said to me was “I love you too”. Anyways…. I’ve watched this video before but I’m totally enjoying again. Blessings to his family. Carlos from Paso Robles, California. ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

Why do I Love this Man so much? Heard he passed away from Cancer a while ago. My Condolences!

[@Ms.truecrimebuff]

This song brings me way back to my childhood days, early teen. I didn’t know he had passed on from this life here, I just couldn’t get this song out of my head all day today. So I looked it up on KZbin, listened to it, several times, haha, and added to my “ favs” list. Michael Johnson you were a great talent, beautiful voice, beautiful guitar player, beautiful soul. Rest in Peace 🩵🪽🩵

RIP Michael Johnson who passed away 5 days ago. This was happy/sad song...because it was quite healing in an odd way.

[@TheTolz0]

Very sad.....loved the song and this guy!!

[@NYWF]

I was in the mood to hear Bluer Than Blue, and then I find out that Mr Johnson passed away back in July- I am now "sadder than sad"-- he was a great talent-- may you rest in peace and join all those other great talents in the afterlife for a great big choir of beautiful voices!!!

Huge talent with a buttery smooth voice, Randy Goodrum the songwriter of this chose the right person to sing it RIP

[@geneellefson6255]

So sorry to hear that Michael passed away yesterday after a long illness. His songs really hit home and I will continue to sing them when the mood is right....RIP....

[@Rexxtasy]

Wow! I've been a guitarist songwriter for 20+ years & I have to say his guitar playing & chord structures are amazing! The 70's have some of the best songwriting ever. Absolutely comes from the heart! He also has to be a classical guitarist. This song has all the heart notes that get you. Way to go MJ.

[@ffpr1]

There is a recording of Michael Johnson playing the classical guitar solo "Leyenda" back in 1968.

[@rickj3342]

He's a classically trained guitarist. Some of his early albums from the 70s have great guitar parts in them.

[@joannsoderstrom8806]

Mike Johnson inspiring my his songs he really has a beautiful voice .thank you for sharing your talent.joanna soderstrom

[@karaokesinger1758]

I'm 23 yrs old and I appreciate this. Thus is far different from today's music. I really feel something different from old songs like this. It takes you away from reality for a moment. The lyrics has full of sense and the melody 🎶 is so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I was born on the late 60s or 70s

[@nelsonpineda7843]

R.I.P. Mr. Michael Johnson. Your timeless music will live on. :(

[@markwestphal512]

Be at peace Michael Johnson. You have always been one of my favorite singer/songwriters from the 70's and 80's

[@Thedailysideshow]

This song takes me back to 1978 to when I just became a teenager, Such a sad and at the same time, a beautiful song. Very under rated. This beautiful song is like a time capsule, within it is part of my youth. Thanks Michael. *RIP*
