Johnny Mathis & Freda Payne - They Can't Take That Away From Me (Behind the Scenes) 

Now this is music folks!!!!! Young people listen up-this is what it sounds like when people can actually sing.

Not enough superlatives...Mathis easily demonstrates why he's still at a level only a handful of vocalist will ever realize...and he's at the top of that list!!! Remarkable.The pairing of him and Ms. Payne caught me off guard. Bravo to her.

MR.JOHNNY MATHIS you are still one of my favorite singers/artists of all times.Ms.Freda sounds amazing too.MR.MATHIS I CANT FORGET YOUR SONG "MISTY".Thank you.I am blessed that i was born in the era of baby boomers.UNTIL NOW YOUR VOICE REMAINS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Johnny Mathis is an American treasure, the man can still sing beautifully at the age of 85... Most folks can't sing Happy Birthday well, at any age! Pairing Freda Payne with Mr. Mathis was a great idea, what a duet!

Beautiful duet by two outstanding singers.

This is simply incredible. He was 85 when he recorded this. His voice is a miracle. The range is still there, he's smack on pitch, no horrible wobble in the voice. He doesn't need to perform all the vocal gymnastic many singers do to try and avoid high notes or 'navigate' around them. Beautiful tone, beautiful intonation. What a gift. Thank you. ❤

MR Xmas still sounds great at nearly 86 yrs young

pfiou... What a swing for both of them... J.Mathis has a real mixed voice which impregnates him to reach high notes so easily! full respect for the way he sings today!

Johnny Mathis, a gift 🎁 that keeps going at 85. Luv u

For the first time, I was fortunate enough to attend a live Johnny Mathis concert at Pechanga Casino in Temecula on June 22, 2024. I had tickets for his previous show there. But I got Covid, had to isolate and could not go. I’ve been a devoted fan of this magnificent singer singer for many years. At 88, Johnny is spectacular not just with his velvet voice but also as an entertainer. With his lively eyes, facial expressions, body movements and tangible warmth on stage, Johnny lights up the stage and venue both musically and physically. I had to refrain myself at times from singing out loud with him since I am familiar with the lyrics and melodies of many of his songs. At 77 now, it was well worth my wait to experience the Mathis Magic in person at last. Wendy Weisman

OMG THIS BEAUTIFUL SINGING,WE ALL KNOW JOHNNY MATHIS IS THE BEST, SO THRILLING, FIRST TIME HEAR MS.FREDA SING, I LOVE IT

Such beautiful voices.

His voice is still INCREDIBLE!!! Just dreamy!! Thank you, mom for dragging me to his concert kicking and screaming-at 12. Changed my life. I became a Johnny Mathis groupie almost. I’ve seen him well honestly I’ve lost count. We have tickets, but they’ve been postponed. Only COVID could make me miss it. Love you forever! And Freda means 3 words-Fab-u-lous!!

WOW!! They both still sound terrific!! Johnny sounds better than ever. And NO 10-15 supportive 'dancers', Rap-interlude or stage-effects needed!! I'm a traditional Jazz/R&B guy, but I can listen to this all day! I MISS HEARING 'ACTUAL' SINGERS!!!

We always had Johnny and Freda playing as a child 2 beautiful voices and walking down the road I was 10 years old singing band of gold Freda Payne and holding on to that long note two wonderful artist what a beautiful version I'm so pleased they are healthy and looking great both singers sing with such feeling control pitch and improvisation so refreshing love to you both Tim x

My grandpa (bless him) introduced me to your music when i was 4, maybe younger, we used to dance to your Wonderfull! Wonderfull! Now im 32 still your'e my favorite singer ever!!

What a beautiful singing duet. Naturally Mr.Mathais is just outstanding.

Thats what music is supposed to sound like. Beautiful!!

Absolutely wonderful, moving...Heavenly!💖🌟💕💝 God bless you, both! Thank you!

*My dad was a huge Johnny Mathis fan when my brothers and me were growing up near Dumfries in Scotland. There was always a Johnny Mathis 8-track cartridge playing in the car (does anybody else remember 8-track cartridges or is it just me? lol) His voice was just amazing (Johnny Mathis that is... not our dad!) It's astonishing to hear how great his voice still was, here in 2019. Most male vocalists end up having to drop an octave or two by the time they get to 50 or so, but not Johnny Mathis. Still singing the high notes pitch-perfect, and as smooth and effortless as ever. Thanks for uploading this. Just Johnny's voice brings back so many happy memories. God bless ya Johnny x.*

I’ve listened to many interviews about Johnny. I’ve learned a lot from them. Perseverance comes to mind when I hear Johnny tell how he started. First of all he had parents whom recognized his gift at an early age. I believe his father started him singing and gave him music lessons. He acknowledged that his son had a gift certainly he wanted to pursue a career for talents. Well I love Johnnys remarkable voice. All of his songs are great. I have my favorites “Maria”, “99 miles to LA”, “April In Paradise”,”Misty”, “Laura”, “Charades”, etc. I listen to these songs day and night. You have made my heart happy Johnny. Until the ends of the earth. God bless😇😇❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯

Sweet Love of Ours! ❤️

Outstanding, brilliant work from Gordon Goodwin.

Now this is REAL music that makes one feel young, carefree, and happy. Superb performance by two master musicians is my only way if expressing my evaluation.

This man is underrated

Not even Covid can take away the joy of listing to music like this!

What can be said that hasn't been said abou Mathis already..What a blessing to the world is his gift from God, what a voice.

Brilliant singers - especially Johnny Mathis; like me Johnny Mathis has aged - he's like a well matured fine old wine - better and better; I wish you well in difficult times.

Johnny mathis sempre surpreende , parece um garoto, cantando com a Freda , fiquei muito feliz em ouvir e poder voltar aos tempos aureos , graças a Deus que temos o Johnny que nos proporciona essa imensa alegria e com a graça de Deus ainda estará por muito tempo. Deus de saúde ao Johnny e muita paz e alegria para que ele continue cantando e encantando sempre
