And today's theme?
Build a playlist of your favorite Johnny Mathis songs.
Easy!
And there's a duet...
And I simply had to include a Christmas song...
Music Monday
Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel … The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo. Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
Well, we picked a couple of the same songs. But I didn't pick Misty and I'm regretting that now. I'm actually a little surprised at how many memories this playlist brings back. What a voice! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAt the time I hated to admit I loved him, he was more my parents' type of music. But yes, he was wonderful.
DeleteRobin,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid the old crooners although they weren't from my generation, I still appreciated the magic they possessed and I still do. There's nothing like the silky smooth vocals of yesteryear. Johnny Mathis was still going strong by the time I was in my late teens. I had forgotten about "Too Much Too Little". Although he transcended through the years adjusting his music style, there's something undeniably magical about his earlier songs but then the age of doo-wop, dreamy ditties of the 50s and 60s are timeless treasures. Thanks for stepping onto the dance floor with the 4M gang, my friend. Stay safe and be well! ;)
