Think he was an athlete at college and he had to choose between that and dining glad for us all he chose singing

When I noticed him drop the line at 2:03 in another video of a recent "Misty" performance, I thought he had momentarily blanked. I now realize he's giving himself some time to get his voice properly placed for the falsetto "on" at 2:13. The care he's obviously taken of his instrument, and knowing its limitations at this stage of his career, are doubtless the reasons he's still able to perform at such a high level even as he approaches 90. The term "national treasure" gets tossed around a lot, but Mathis truly deserves the title. (Now where's his Kennedy Center Honor, already... LL Cool J has one, but not Johnny???)

thats not a dropped line, that pause before the high note was always how he has sung it.

@ericholck3914

@@borgullet3376 You're right, but I'm also not wrong. In his recorded version of the song, he doesn't sing ANY of the bridge. Since he does sing most of it here, but dropped the line "don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost... that's why I'm following you", it at first sounded to me like it might not have been intentional. Now, however, I'm fairly certain it was, in an effort to ensure he nailed the note at 2:13.

@borgullet3376

I understand you now. I always remembered the original recording had the string interlude just before he hits that high note Thank goodness we still have him here to discuss these things ! Stay Blessed @ericholck3914 & Happy Holidays to you.

Unlike the majority of older popular artists who often need to lower the key of their original recordings by a whole step or more, Mr. Mathis is singing in the same key he sang “Misty” when he was 23 yrs. old. Coupled with his awareness and control of his current vocal instrument…well, that’s the sign of authentic artistry.

Incredible to be able to sing this well at his age. Truly impressive!!!!

The applause when he hit the high note was so well deserved. He's taken great care of that unique voice. We're all thankful for that. Wishing him many more years of success.

Well,coming from a 64 year old musician,who is sad,lonely,& depressed,thank you sir,for at least a glimmer of a smile.

Love it!! Misty was one of my favorites. It brought back memories. Johnny Mathis, keep on singing. You look and sound great for 88. God Bless You!!! 🙏

Gorgeous! Simply GORGEOUS! I ADORE Johnny! You can feel the love and the joy in his singing! Every note is pure magic! Keep singing, Johnny! You are the true example of what it means to be young at heart!

WOW, that was great, he still has the vocals, what a GOD send he is.

I’m 51 and Johnny was one of my mom’s favorites. She’s been gone along time now and this is a show I need to see before it’s too late for either one of us. I haven’t seen his set list but I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be at least 1 that’ll have my eyes running during his show.

WOW! IS THAT MR. MATHIS??? I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT HIM AND DENIECE WILLIAMS. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! HE STILL SOUNDS GREAT!!! AND HASN'T MISSED A BEAT! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤❤

Awww! I always loved him growing up. My mom would put his Christmas album on and decorate the house and I would get so excited!! Then when I got older I explored all his other music and fell in love with it all. Thanks for posting this. I’m in tears and happy he is still performing! Love you Johnny😊

His voice has not diminished with age . ❤. He’s part of my theme song of my life . The memories that this song brings . God bless you Johnny 🙏

In my opinion, this man makes every song he sings better . His voice and song selection make him one of he great singers in my long lifetime of listening to music. I wouldn't want to celebrate Christmas season without hearing his Christmas renditons.

He looks so different, but his voice is still great. I've listened to him since I was a kid and just loved all his songs. ❤

Mr. Mathis, thank you for all the years of your music. I still own many of the original albums from 60's and 70's. You are one amazing man and voice! You still have such control and talent! God bless you for all the joy you have brought millions!

For an 88 year old singer , his voice is little changed from the time when this song originated all those many years ago. Regardless of a slightly diminished ability to walk in the fashion of a youngster, his stage presence and performance is 100% top notch .. Bravo Mr. Mathis … You Are A True Legend ❤️❤️❤️✨🌟✨❤️❤️❤️

Amazing voice still....hitting that very high note in Misty was incredible!!!!!! I have seen him in concert 3 times and I have many of his records. 🤩🥰💋

His voice always makes me smile. Always. ❤

The most amazing guy would of loved to of seen him in concert but I don’t think he will tour England again his voice is still beautiful

I've loved Johnny Mathis since the 60's he has never been changed by the times. His voice and message was always one of sincerity. He sang what everyone who was listening was feeling. He stands alone. He is wonderful! More power to you, Johnny! May God Bless You.

His vocals only aged like vintage wine. I still get good chills hearing him sing Misty.

Johnny you are The Best. I will always love hearing you sing. You take me to peaceful places. Thank you for giving yourself to the music world. You are so very loved. 🎶😻❤️

One beautiful and amazing gentleman. My first record, bought way back, was this amazing singer's wonderful song, 'Misty'. He's been my hero and favourite ever since. Thank you, Mr. Mathis....

Oh my word, it's so wonderful to hear that song and the voice .. I've seen this beautiful man three times, three of the best concert ever.. He has been my favourite singer since I was 14 and now there's a 7 in front of that 4.. Goosebumps and pure joy to hear and see him again.. 💝🐦

He still sounds phenomenal. Have always been in love with his voice. Thank you Johnny ❤. Also enjoy singing along with him.

Wow!! At his age and sounding THAT good!! Outstanding!! ❤

I've been to his concerts three times. I've love him since I was in high school; I'm now 81.

“The Twelfth Of Never” is my favorite J. Mathis song! 💖

The always spectacular Mr. Mathis. He never disappoints. ❤

79 years old and I remember listening to him and seeing a beautiful young man with a voice that ...poured out of his open mouth that was pure liquid gold and it always seemed so effortless ...like a gentle fog rolling in and and consuming you ...thanks so much for the posting with all that misinformation ...and the confesion was great tooo ...talk her way out of anything that woman ;-)

That high note at 2:20❤. Thanks so much for posting this.

Love his songs and always will.❤❤❤❤he is ten years older than I am. Love you Johnny❤❤❤❤ my birthday is in June, will be 78.

He still has the magic in his voice, I went to see him ages ago and it is sad how he moves around the stage he used to come on that stage as if he owned it and you could see in his youth basketball kept him young and agile.

Still the great golden voice...unreal. so fantastic. Love Johnny.he has the best Christmas albums

88 and still sounds smooth as silk. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤️

Meu sonho seria dar um abraço neste maravilhoso ser humano.DEUS deu a ele o dom de nos entreter com sua voz única e maravilhosa! Abraço do Brasil

Still has a beautiful voice.

Have loved johnny mathis since i was 14 yrs old & i will be 71 in a few days time cx

That man's voice was the loving glue that brought so many couples together, every time we heard his voice. I was born in 1947, and he became the first real, beautiful sound most of us heard as teenagers. Whenever anyone speaks of CLASSIC. Johnny Mathis has always been the standard of love for all to cherish.

He still has that wonderful dreamy voice. Love it

Sad to see how these great iconic crooners of the past aging to the point any day they can be gone ! They still sound great ,Just watched Englebert also do a show and sounded great but now these great entertainers are having a hard time walking the stage ! Wishing many more years of health to these Great singers !Once their gone their gone !The next generation of Singers will never compare to the ones we all had the honor of hearing and seeing live ,There will never be another time in the music industry of talent that will ever compare to what we all were blessed with !Music Today is Total SHIT and thats being Nice !

Very moving. Great. He was a favourite of my late mother. JM has many fans here in the UK. They are exactly the same age though sadly she left us over a decade ago now. Stirs up so many memories.

I'll admit I didn't recognize him, but once that voice came out.... oh yeah! Bless you, Johnny!!

Johnny Mathis is absolutely 💯 a national and international treasure. His voice is amazing he sounds like the first time I heard him fifty years ago . His voice is exceptional. I love him .❤❤

OMG! So beautiful!

What a privilege seeing this I had his LP's as a teenager

I was so in love when this first came out. Thank you so much Johnny.

Splendid ,a living legend.

One of my favorite songs of all time!❤

A mis 75 años sigo admirando a este tremendo cantante que me ha acompañado toda la vida con sus hermosas e inolvidables canciones!

Still brings me to tears. Magnificent!

Saw him in 1991.What a classy man and so handsome.

My ALL TIME FAVORITE song and SINGER!!! He is still handsome. 😊

One of the greatest!!!

What a legend my Dad loved his music along with many others o wish my dad could hear this so I belt this out with hope in heaven him and mum are dancing like they did when I was young sitting in the kitchen watching them.Johnny Mathias voice as smooth as ever god bless him 🥰❤️

I saw him in Texas in 1980, and wow his voice has not changed Mr Mathis you are incredible. ❤

I saw him in concert in Dallas years ago. He was and is an absolutely gifted singer whose music will always be timeless. I never thot of him actually aging so it’s kind of difficult seeing how time has caught up with him- but definitely not with his wonderful voice. What a priceless gift and a matchless legacy he will leave.

Incredible!

It has been decades since I last saw him but that voice is unmistakable.
