So what, he was also a staunch Reagan supporter, and personal friend of the Reagans.

“Johnny Mathis is 87 years old!”

Keith Richards: “Hold my beer.”

One of the GREAT male voices.

Gene Pitney also comes to mind.

And of course Steve Perry of Journey fame.

Everyone knew ‘why’, but back then, it was no big deal as long as they stayed in the closet. Rock Hudson was another; actually, Hollywood was peppered with closeted homos.

Chances are he won’t make it to 100.

Johnny had already had the the only house he had owned for 56 years burned to the ground in 2015, but now a couple of weeks ago, hillside ground collapsed from heavy storms around the re-established house, crushing his Jaguar and rendering the house unstable. This is a cruel fate for an 87-year-old guy — especially one who has facilitated so many love relationships for so many years!

Sending Johnny some love and prayers...

And this week I learned that my crush on George Maharis was wasted energy. Didn’t know he was homosexual.

Don’;t feel bad. I had a crush on Jodie Foster for a year or so, until I found out she was a dyke.

His birthday was months ago.

Not sure, I think someone just wanted to post about him.

Just 2 years older than my mom.

“How do you know you couldn’t convert him?”

Hey, that’s a really good idea. But he’s 94 now, so probably not.

Fans often praise Ethel Merman’s articulate voice; pronouncing
each word, all understandable. Johnny Mathis had the same voice perfection. Sad to hear of his home and car being demolished to such a degree. Prayers he lives the remainder
of his days in a more stable, peaceful environment.
Happy Birthday, Johnny. Thanks for the enjoyment you’ve given
us.

Agree -- Mathis seems a very gentle soul with a tender heart. Hope he has dependable helpers.

I was a great Merman fan back in the day and used to do imitations of her to amuse the family! Everything's COMin' up ROUWRSES!
