Ah, Johnny Mathis. What ever happened to these crooners? Why did they go out of fashion? Most of them have found a new gig raking in the AARP set's dough in Branson, MO. Johnny dropped off the face for a different reason - in 1982 he discussed his homosexuality in an interview, and subsequently started receiving some serious death threats which caused him to lower his profile. Clay Aiken's lucky he lives in the 21st century.
I personally think those people were mad that the guy who sang the "Family Ties" theme didn't share their family values. But try as those bigots might, no one can deny the magic of Johnny's golden tones. And so we offer up this Xmas classic.
