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.

1. I was an only child

and I played my mother's records.

I love Johnny Mathis.

I'm probably the only teenager of the 80's that would clean house
blasting this:

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:
