Poetry In Motion - Johnny Tillotson

Love this man and love his music - the great Johnny Tillotson! Please like and share if you'd like to see and hear more oldies videos from my vaults.

[@hairychest7865]

I love how he recognizes the three ladies and the sax player. not many singers do that.

[@Rick88888888]

At age 85 he still can sing! Great performance.

[@opale1572]

Bella voz, simpatía, elegancia y saber estar. Se nota que Johnny es de la generación de los 60, aunque parece más joven.

[@johnheah1526]

God bless Johnny for his songs and voice. Hes part of my musical life.

[@GiGi-po8yc]

He sounds great. His voice hasn’t changed.

[@cartoonpete407]

One of the rock n roll legends! Amazing that he is still so energetic and sings with that same voice!

[@Tonetwisters]

Another of the fab musicians that once hailed from Jacksonville, Florida. Great performance here, and I especially appreciate his humility and sincere appreciation of the audience and the musicians. And God bless you right back, Mr. T ... Jesus is coming soon to get us.

[@ParkerPlaza]

Listening the second time I must write how great the backup crew girls are. They add much!

[@yassyyassy9450]

The three women in the chorus are so cute!!

[@moogdome2562]

What a beautiful and superbly perfect incredible performance. He still looks and sounds great. His superb voice has something special, warm and cosy feel. The backing singers sounded like angels and looked like them too. The backing band were excellent. What a nice guy. Could listen to him all day. Thank you for a magical performance, that will stay and be in my heart forever.

[@danlalonde2751]

He is one of those who opens his mouth and the music just comes out without any effort. [ Rare talent ]

[@ParkerPlaza]

This real music..........keep the good stuff alive/

[@mikeivey7167]

Back when music was fun to listen too! Not at all like the crap of today!

[@MySpace662]

A song that never grows old, nor the singers voice.

I love this song. That high voiced brown haired singer is fantastic! Back up vocalists are terrific... whole band is great.

[@Manushan_Melvin]

God I love this man What a wonderful voice👍♥️🌸

[@gustavoreyes7366]

Great performance! I recall that many songs from the 1950s had women sing like this, Santa Catalina, Since I don't have you, Many Paul Anka songs, Even Marina song from 1964 Marination Stingray! Such a Great era.

[@alexanderalbano4219]

This i a classic song and a grt live performance Johnnys voice right on and the backup girls on point the orchestra on another level a perfect balance of sound sight and class describes this music performance of a legend rock and roller from a time wgen music was music grt job all around

[@ronniesalyer3095]

[@jupitervibes1729]

His Voice is always mesmerised me from my teenage. Great

[@sandraoyns-wilson6098]

Just goes to prove The 60'S WERE THE BEST.

[@martintorres3744]

Wonderful! Johnny keeps his tone voice identical to his records. The backing band members are awesome. "Poetry in Motion" is one of my favorite oldies ever.

[@kenokinawa158]

懐かしいオールディーズ😊 大好き😊

[@rogbrown1458]

One fabulous artiste who sounds as good as ever.First saw him in concert back in 1962 and had a long chat with him after the show.Rog. Pacific sunset records.

[@opale1572]

Sí, realmente es difícil de creer.

[@tjlproductions1948]

Johnny is live

[@leonaramos4307]

He is a legend at his own right i love his voice .i thought he was gone already .but he is still alive . I am one of his fan from the philippines

[@user-dt7lt2rd3m]

Johnny was a classmate in Palatka Florida. We graduated in 1955. I remember Johnny sitting on the doorsteps of his Grandmother's house with his guitar singing his heart out. It looks like it paid off. Look at him now, a well-known singer and songwriter. Johnny was shy in school and the girls loved to tease him, but when he picked up that Guitar and started to sing, he was Johnny Tillotson. Nothing shy about him.

[@opale1572]

Una gran persona.

[@sodacan1415]

thanks for sharing. not sure if they'd still tease him now🙂

[@williammitchell9974]

Well Done Mr Johnny Tillotson💯

[@user-lc2iv1we7t]

Fun song. Great voice.

[@philliesphorever1964]

He's fabulous. Oh, to have someone love me even a little like that🙏.

[@MrGm9018]

wow what back up singers

[@davidharr3260]

Thanks - Great song !!!

[@jimscott1482]

My band, "The Continentals", backed up Johnny in Bradenton, Fl in 1961, shortly after this song was released. During that time, many of the artists did not have their own traveling bands. Instead, they hired local bands and just rehearsed with them a few hours before the show. Of the many artists that our band backed up, I can honestly say that Johnny was the nicest and friendliest.

[@johndeere865]

There was a local band here in Huntsville,AL about this time.Could this be your band?

[@luciovids9208]

Fabulous video. Got so many of your dvds over the years and still enjoy them.

[@christrinder1255]

Wow it’s years since I heard this!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!xxx

[@SheenRohne]

Die Dame in der Mitte hat eine großartige Stimme...😊

[@katm.4119]

Great song. We just know the drummer!

[@omarpasha9855]

And, this was 1 year ago? I remember TJ Libinski and his bay area shows on the local channel 9 station!

[@Paul-lm5gv]

Born in1938 - still has a great voice. He was a one of the teen idols of the 1950s! Another of his hits was 'Earth Angel'! He sang the theme song for Sally Field's 1965 TV show 'Gidget.' Had a long career. In the 1990s, Tillotson recorded several Christmas songs with Freddy Cannon and Brian Hyland for the Children's Miracle Network.

[@tonisumblin2719]

Was Earth Angel sung by him. I don’t think so. I’ll have to check. In any case, he’s as fabulous as ever.

[@jomiiller6297]

He was the first international act at Rumours Toowoomba Qld Australia and my Mum her best friend and I went to see him. That was 40 years ago and he still sounds the same.

[@lindamugford5507]

Oh yessssssssssssssss, one of the best

[@rayfournier2806]

Still got it Johnnie

[@merylew4969]

To Willie. Not original

[@kenhatchett6433]

[@70tezskin]

Lisa Bliel has the most incredible voice . Its took me a long time to find this video with her on it.. Lisa's vocals on this are truly amazing. X❤.

[@billythekid3234]

Lisa killed it! Hit the high notes with ease.... what a sound and video!

[@shindigmusic4776]

Worked with Johnny T a few times at Little Darlin’s Rock and Roll Palace in Kissimmee, Florida. A real gentleman. Did anyone ever correctly identify the amazing opera singer do back up vocals?

[@sunsparkle8443]

I believe her name is Lisa Bleil.

[@adamcompson7747]

Happy Birthday Johnny

[@bosshogg1915]

Fantastic ! Awesome backing singers too. 👏👏👏

[@tedgoodfellow9103]

How brilliant to be able to see Johnny Tillotson - I hadn't seen a film of him before. I bought his record in 1960 in the UK. Wish I had his 'Barnet' - he is looking well. Regards from Blighty :).

[@tonycollazorappo]

This song was released in 1961, when I was born. I read he is in his early 80s, is this him in his 80s?? Wow, great singer! I've heard this song as a kid, lol. Sadly, I'm no longer a kid, lol, wink.

[@Rick88888888]

Born on 20 April 1938 so he is now age 85!

[@omardelrio7260]

Hermosa voz. ❤

As good as it gets...Better than the original which is so rare. 2003? 2002? TY YT and TY TJ!!!!

Estos tiempos no pasaron en vano y por supuesto estas canciones tampoco; hoy después de tantos años las escucho y las emociones de aquel entonces vuelven a nuestra memoria, aquellos tiempos no se olvidan jamás.

whoa!! Till this day, I thought it was Neil Sedaka who sings this song. Now I know that it was Johnny Tillotson. Thank you uploader.

[@mariakralikova2401]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@joegongora2200]

Johnny can certainly sing this song and this is the 1st time I’ve heard a live version of this song. Since the brunette girl could definitely sing a high falsetto part this particular song was “Knocked Out Of The Ballpark. This is certainly good music 🎵 and Johnny Tilliston …Rocked The House Down!!!

[@tonymanes92]

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

[@AmericaCirclingTheDrain]

He's still cute after all these years!

[@willieb3765]

I can't remember her name but the lady in the middle is from the vocal group The Skyliners who also performed for TJ

[@merylew4969]

Not the original for the skyliners She would be "older," now not like this young lady

[@ferdinandfrancis9673]

@@merylew4969 You are correct, the original female singer with the Skyliners was Janet Vogel, who passed away in 1980 age 37, she was replaced Cathy Cooper.

[@thomasnemeth]

Great dance music!
