Johnny Mathis With Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass . September 11 .1965 . Hollywood Bowl . Audio Only . Johnny Mathis - 00.00 - 21.30 - Minutes - Johnny Mathis - 1hr 20 Minutes - 2hr 28 Minutes.
Johnny Mathis was one of those artists who transitioned over from Jazz/Pop to traditional Pop and ballads, including a lot of showtunes and standards, making a household name for himself and becoming an icon because of it.

Mathis had broad appeal and was featured prominently on Late Night TV (Johnny Carson), numerous variety programs of the time and would continue to ring up handsome figures in album sales well into the 80s and 90s.

So as much as you’d like to think the world abruptly changed in the direction of John, Paul, George and Ringo, there was still a substantial fan base for someone of Johnny Mathis’ appeal and unique talents.

This concert, which also features Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass, was hosted by the Stereo Store in the San Fernando Valley, House Of Sight And Sound and was emceed by the KMPC disc jockeys.

Bear in mind, this concert is fifty-three years old and was presented at a time when Traditional Pop still had popularity with the Top-40 crowd as was evidenced by Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass, which was enjoying top-10 status with most Rock Stations around the country in 1965.

The other thing – which is something you definitely would not find now is the humor of Bill Dana, who introduces The Tijuana Brass. Dana, who was a popular comedian as well as writer, established a career for himself in the character of José Jimenez, a somewhat stereotyped Bolivian who was very popular in the late 1950s/early 1960s, but who would be considered today as downright offensive. Times change – and so does music.

Here’s a reminder that The Hollywood Bowl was a showcase for a wide spectrum of Artists throughout the years – and this was what Pop Music was about in the early 1960s.

This beautiful song and movie have been a part of my life since I was a child. The original movie version was also beautifully sung by Vic Damone. I really wanted to put together my favorite movie of all time with my favorite singer of all time and so I did. I really can't say that I made this video. The photos "made" the video from the movie and all are from the original 1957 film. I added very little to them.

I own about four copies of this film. I must have seen it over two hundred times since it came out and I watch it at least once a year at Christmas time. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes. It is one of the best films ever made. I highly recommend the movie which can be purchased/rented online and, of course, the song, as sung by Johnny Mathis here, from his original Mercury recordings, now re-mastered and on CD from the album, "Love Is Everything."

When by granddaughter watched this movie, at age 16, she said at the end, tears streaming down her face, "This is such a beautiful love story and you never even saw them kiss." And, she was right.

I love the spiritual message of the song and Johnny Mathis just delivers the message with perfect "clarity " and beauty. A great way to start any day.

You can get this beautiful song on the CD, "The Essential Johnny Mathis." You can also get it from iTunes.

Johnny Mathis goes straight to my heart with the best rendition of this song that I've ever heard. You can purchase this beauty on his CD, "Warm."
