Rosie went up to Oakland to see Johnny Mathis tonight

First and likely, last time.

His voice was part of the soundtrack of my kidhood. Mom played him like I played The Beatles.

I love Johnny Mathis.

2. I think your link disappeared.

The man was gay and out when nobody was and he was black. And he was huge.

5. The Twelfth of Never!

My first boyfriend (9th grade) and I danced to this one a lot. It was our song.

Wonderful, Wonderful! was the "our song" for a later bf and me.

Johnny Mathis is and was the greatest!

Thank you for the links. :thumbsup:
