How sad is this?
Don't listen to the negative reviews
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I think that his voice is better than ever. Also he is now as always "A CLASS ACT" I try to attend all his concerts in the area of California, especially Orange County. I hope he enjoys the GOLD BOX of ROSES I always bring, as a small way of thanking him for all the pleasure that he has given me as well as everyone else with that marvelous voice, that just seems to get better and better as the years go by. I wish he would perform in more concerts and sing more of the really great songs that he has recorded. Needless to say I have every song he has ever recorded. Even the ones he has sung in Spanish, which I don't understand but I think he sounds just great I watched him in "By Request and also have the video, which I have played over and over.He was fantastic. A true fan Joan
At the tender age of sixty four, on May 28, 1998 at New York's Sony Music Studios, Johnny Mathis gathered with an orchestra and audience to perform song requests.These requests came from phone-ins and emails, and the selections and respective arrangements were uniformly excellent.For ninety minutes Mathis performed an array of his greatest hits, plus a few more less well known selections. His voice was a bit more mature as was his appearance, but not much: the tone was fine and he looked great.At one point Denice Williams joined him for a duet, "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" (#1 hit from '78). And a surprise caller-in turned out to be Nancy Reagan, who first identified herself as a "great fan."One wondered just how impromptu the occasion was as requests were made: no musicians shuffling to locate or organize scores; the parts were miraculously in place on stands.The renditions brought back the 50s nostalgically, with all the fabulous recordings and film soundtracks made by this unique icon.Mathis was also interviewed between numbers, and he came across as a pleasant personality. Nothing very deep there, just a niceness that doesn't try to convey more than what it is: a smooth, lyric and beautiful baritone that's instantly recognizable from any other singer in the world.All I can say is, "Wonderful, Wonderful."
